OnGuard knocks off Abus Bordo
 

'Search' didn't reveal that this had been posted. Yeah, I know, right?

Anyway, OnGuard showed this 'new' lock at Interbike 2013: the K-9. Wow, just look at their "Bike Protection Offer" on this. Kinda pricey compared to their u-locks.

Well lets see how it fares in Destructive testing in comparison to the Real thing,
to see how hard it is to break open.

It is a Knock-off of type & style .. , certainly ..

Maybe they haven't updated the page yet?

For the same price you can get one of their armored chains with built-in lock, a higher security rating, and $2K bike protection.

Hopefully!

...two Bulldog DT U-lock+4' cable sets.

It seems like a thief could beat these style of locks in about three seconds with just a crowbar by putting it between lock and rack, on the other side from the bike, and giving it a big twist to pop a rivet. I've been looking for a youtube video of someone doing the same since it seems like an obvious thing to try. But they all seem to be either people showing it off or selling it and if they are attacking it they're doing it with an angle grinder. This BikeRadar article isn't detailed enough to show how they broke it but the damage is about what I'm thinking it would be.

BTW the one in the BR review is not Abus' best security rated .. tested model number un stated.


this one is their (internally) best rated one ..http://www.abus.com/eng/Mobile-Secur...it-X-Plus-6500
