Its key benefit is offering ABUS's top security level (15), providing exceptional resistance against impacts and tampering.

FAQs

What makes the GRANIT CityChain XPlus 1060 so secure?

Its security comes from a combination of a 10 mm hardened steel hexagonal chain, ABUS Power Cell technology for impact resistance, a robust Power Link connection, and the highly pick-resistant ABUS XPlus cylinder, all rated at ABUS's highest security level 15.

How do I clean and maintain the lock?

Wipe with a damp cloth. Periodically lubricate the XPlus cylinder with a specialized lock lubricant (not oil) to ensure smooth operation. Keep the keyhole covered when not in use to prevent contamination.

Can I get replacement keys if I lose them?

Yes, ABUS offers a key replacement service. You will need your key number, which is usually provided on a card. It's recommended to register your key number with ABUS or keep it in a safe place.

Is the 110 cm length sufficient for locking my bike?

The 110 cm length provides good flexibility for locking your bike frame and often a wheel to most standard fixed objects. For larger frames or when locking multiple bikes, a longer chain might be considered.

Can I order this lock keyed alike with other ABUS locks?

Yes, the GRANIT CityChain XPlus 1060 can be ordered 'keyed alike' with other ABUS locks, meaning you can use the same key to operate multiple locks, which is convenient for users with several ABUS security devices.

What is the weight of the lock?

The GRANIT CityChain XPlus 1060 weighs approximately 2.65 kg (5.84 lbs).

Does the textile sleeve offer any security against cutting?

The textile sleeve is primarily designed to protect your bicycle's paintwork. The actual security comes from the hardened steel chain underneath.

Troubleshooting

Key does not turn or lock/unlocks stiffly.

Ensure the key is fully inserted. The cylinder may need lubrication. Use a graphite-based lock lubricant or a specialized ABUS lock spray. Avoid using oil-based lubricants. Ensure the keyhole is clear of debris; use the cover when not in use.

Lock feels difficult to close.

Check that the chain links are not twisted or caught. Ensure the lock body is properly aligned with the chain end. Verify there is no dirt or obstruction within the locking mechanism.

Textile sleeve is torn or damaged.

While the sleeve protects paint, significant damage may compromise its protective function. Contact ABUS customer support for advice on repair or replacement options, though typically the sleeve is not sold separately.

Lock is heavy and awkward to carry.

This is a characteristic of high-security chain locks. Consider wrapping the chain around the seat post (if the length allows, e.g., 85cm model) or using a dedicated lock holder or bag for transport.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers the highest level of security (ABUS Level 15) for maximum theft deterrence.
  • Built with exceptionally strong, hardened steel components for superior resilience.
  • Advanced ABUS technologies provide robust protection against various attack methods.
  • The textile sleeve prevents damage to your bike's frame.
  • High-quality ABUS XPlus cylinder offers excellent resistance to picking.

Cons

  • Significant weight (2.65 kg) may be cumbersome for some users to transport.
  • The 110 cm length, while offering flexibility, also contributes to its overall bulk.
  • Requires a secure, fixed object for effective use, which may not always be available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The GRANIT CityChain XPlus 1060 requires no complex setup. Simply uncoil the chain, pass it through your bicycle frame and wheel(s), and then connect the chain end to the lock body.

Compatibility:

  • Bicycles: Suitable for all types of bicycles, including road bikes, mountain bikes, e-bikes, and more, particularly high-value models.
  • Locking Objects: Compatible with sturdy, fixed objects such as dedicated bike racks, thick lampposts, railings, and concrete bollards. Ensure the object is immovable and thicker than the chain to prevent it from being cut.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the chain and lock body with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
  • Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the XPlus cylinder with a specialized lock lubricant (not oil) to ensure smooth key operation, especially after exposure to harsh weather. Use the keyhole cover to prevent debris from entering.
  • Storage: When not in use, ensure the chain is dry before storing to prevent rust. The textile sleeve should be kept clean to avoid abrasion.
