Product Information
Full details
The ABUS Granit Plus 470 U-Lock is designed for serious cyclists who need robust protection for high-value bikes in high-risk urban environments. Featuring a 12mm hardened parabolic shackle and advanced power cell technology, this lock offers excellent resistance against cutting and prying attacks. While it provides industry-leading security, users should be aware that the heavy-duty construction results in a weight of 1.32 kg, which may be significant for long commutes.

FAQs
Does this lock come with a spare key?
The product includes one key as standard. It is recommended to register your key code with ABUS for potential replacements.
Is this suitable for a motorcycle?
No, the Granit Plus 470 is specifically designed for bicycles and is not rated for motorcycle use.
What does Sold Secure Silver mean?
It is an independent security rating for locks, indicating the lock provides a high level of resistance against theft attempts.
Can I mount the bracket on any bike?
The bracket is designed to fit most standard bicycle frames, though very thin or oversized aero tubes may require specific placement.
How long is the shackle?
The internal length of the shackle is 300 mm, providing ample space for locking your frame and wheel to a bike rack.
Troubleshooting
The key is hard to insert or turn
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lock lubricant and insert the key repeatedly to distribute it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the lock, attach the provided mounting bracket to your bicycle frame's down tube or seat tube, ensuring the bolts are tightened securely. The lock clicks into the bracket for storage while riding, keeping it stable even over bumpy roads. For daily maintenance, it is recommended to apply a silicone-based lock lubricant twice a year to keep the cylinder functioning smoothly. Ensure the shackle is fully clicked into the lock body to ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged. Since the lock is corrosion-protected, it is suitable for year-round outdoor use, but wiping the exterior with a damp cloth periodically will keep the locking mechanism free from grit.
