Abus Granit Super Extreme 2500 bike lock review: the most easily transportable angle grinder-resistant lock on the market

Abus is highly regarded for creating some of the world's best bike locks, and the Granit Super Extreme showcases its remarkable attention to detail

Like the other products in our angle grinder-resistant lock test, the Granit Super Extreme is a Sold Secure Diamond-rated lock. Abus is proud of both the lock’s resilience to angle grinder attack and its Made in Germany cachet.

Thieves once needed several tools and time to cut through the best bicycle locks. Hammers, bolt cutters, and hacksaws were commonplace. Now, they generally require just one battery-operated angle grinder and a few seconds. The Granit Super Extreme 2500 has been developed to combat this worrying trend, turning the tables on the modern bike thief.

An admirable performance, that was far from a fail

I began my journey at the age of 13, delivering newspapers on my bike. Riding became a daily habit until I earned my driving license at 17. But my biking adventures didn't end there! Over the past twenty years, with 15 of those dedicated to the bicycle industry, I’m grateful to say that I’ve never had a bike stolen. Perhaps I've just been lucky, or perhaps I know a thing or two about keeping my bike safe!
