The famous Kryptonite Fahgettaboudit Mini will provide slightly more protection against an angle grinder attack than the Abus X Plus 540. It’s got a 14 mm shackle so you’d imagine that should be enough for low risk area as long you don’t leave your bike for extended periods.

With the OneKey version, you have the great advantage that you can use the same key for your battery lock and the U-lock. A U-lock (or D-lock as they’re sometimes known) can be used through large brake disks, but can also generally be put through the wheel, or passed around the fork legs and wheel to solidly prevent the machine being pushed away. We think you should check out the Kryptonite New York Standard U-Lock or the OnGuard Brute STD to save even more money. There aren’t any standard size locks that are lighter than the Granit X Plus 540, while still offering a comparable level of security.

The ABUS Granit X-Plus 450 is an effective deterrent, and we felt confident with this U and crossbar hugging our frame and wheels in urban environments, where bike theft is more frequent.

If it doesn’t fit around your wheel, you could pair it with some Hexlox for very secure all round protection. With this keyed alike system, you can use the same key for both the battery lock and the ABUS Granit Plus 470 U-lock. Just in terms of security, their number one choice offers only medium levels of protection and is unsuitable for cyclists in big cities. But essentially, the EaZy KF is a smaller mount, into which you clip and unclip the shackle of your lock, while the USH 540 is a much bigger mount into which you actually lock your U-lock. The highest level of security from the ABUS range: The GRANIT XPlus™ 540 offers the best protection against theft for your bicycle.
