Full details
The Abus Infinity Loop 1806 is an ideal security solution for urban cyclists, parents, and homeowners who need to secure multiple items at once without the bulk of traditional heavy-duty chains. Its primary benefit is the patented double-loop design that allows you to lock your bike frame and wheels simultaneously, providing excellent versatility; however, keep in mind that the 6 mm chain is designed for light-to-medium risk environments and may not be suitable for high-theft urban areas requiring heavy-duty security.

FAQs
Can I use this lock to secure my bike overnight in the city?
The 6 mm chain is designed for light-to-medium risk. It is recommended for quick stops or lower-risk environments rather than long-term high-theft urban storage.
Does this lock come with keys?
The Abus Infinity Loop 1806 uses an automatic locking mechanism that simplifies use by eliminating the need for a key to lock it, prioritizing speed and convenience.
How long is the chain?
The standard length is designed to be versatile; specifically, this model is the 1806 variant, with siblings available in up to 140 cm lengths for larger locking requirements.
Will this lock scratch my bike frame?
The chain is designed with a durable protective sleeve to minimize friction and prevent scratches on your bicycle paint.
Is the steel cut-resistant?
Yes, the 6 mm square steel construction provides high resistance against standard bolt cutters and sawing attempts compared to lower-grade cable locks.
Troubleshooting
Lock mechanism feels stiff or sticks during use
Clean the locking head of debris and apply a small amount of lock-specific lubricant.
Loop adjustment feels tight
Ensure the chain links are not twisted; straightening the chain before forming the loops allows for smoother movement through the adjustment points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use the lock, feed one end of the chain through the other to create the loops. Adjust the loops to your desired diameter before fastening.
Compatibility: This lock is universally compatible with most bicycle frame types, including road, mountain, and city bikes. It is also compatible with standard pram frames and outdoor equipment handles.
Care: Maintain the mechanism by applying a light bicycle chain oil or specific lock lubricant periodically to ensure the automatic mechanism moves smoothly. Wipe the chain periodically with a dry cloth to remove dirt or road grit, which can otherwise accelerate wear on the finish.
