The GRANIT X Plus Mini 54 is literally twice the lock the Bordo Lite is. The ABUS Bordo Lite sits at level 7 of 15 for security, which is pretty great for low to medium left risk. As you see from the snap above, I use these ABUS locks most when I go for a grocery/beer run. I always find it easiest to lock up to the stack of grocery carts out front vs. finding a post or thin tree, but it would easily accomodate either one of those lockable fixtures even though it’s a Mini.
I posted up the photo above via our Instagram with a bit of odd marketing envisionment attached, “ABUS, stronger than you local grocers shopping cart”. Then imagining a video of a thief hacking the shopping cart metal vs. the ABUS lock. In this case, that would be more productive since the GRANIT X Plus Mini 54 is rated at a security level of 15 out of 15!
The GRANIT X Plus Mini is a bit on the heavy side to carry around via belt loop or pack, nothing horrible or unrideable for you peddling crazies. With more protection comes more weight I figure.
The two snaps below show off what you’ll receive when you pick up your ABUS GRANIT series locks. Most helpful if you’re like me and misplace your keys is the ABUS Code Card for additional or replacement key. Second is the fancy two keys that are supplied, one LED-lighted!
Go to ABUS and check out the lock/s that will work best for your daily ride. There’s a lot to choose from and all will offer the quality you’ll expect.
