ABUS BORDO GRANIT 6500K Folding Lock
Maximum Security Engineering
The ABUS BORDO GRANIT 6500K represents the pinnacle of folding lock security, combining maximum protection with intelligent German engineering. As the successor to the legendary BORDO GRANIT XPlus 6500, this premium folding lock achieves the highest possible rating in the ABUS security system—Level 15 out of 15—making it ideal for protecting high-value bicycles in high-risk urban environments.
Hardened Steel Construction
At the heart of the BORDO GRANIT 6500K’s exceptional security lies its construction from 5.5mm thick bars manufactured from specially hardened steel. These substantial bars are connected by special rivets protected by the innovative ABUS Link-Protection-Shield technology, creating a flexible yet incredibly robust barrier against sawing attacks. Unlike conventional folding locks, the Link-Protection-Shield ensures that the articulated joints—traditionally the weakest points—become highly resistant to cutting whilst maintaining the flexibility needed for versatile locking scenarios.
Advanced Cylinder Protection
Security extends beyond physical resistance with the integration of ABUS’s premium XPlus precision disc cylinder. This advanced cylinder technology offers the highest level of protection against picking, drilling, and other manipulation attempts, effectively preventing both forceful and sophisticated attack methods. The lock’s comprehensive security credentials are validated by prestigious certifications including Sold Secure Pedal Cycle Gold (UK), SBSC (Sweden), FG (Norway), Varefakta (Denmark), VAT (Finland), and ART 4049 (Netherlands), confirming its elite status across European testing standards.
Versatile Length and Compact Design
When fully extended, the BORDO GRANIT 6500K measures 90cm in length, providing ample reach to secure your frame and wheels to a wide variety of street furniture, bike racks, and fixed objects. The folding plate design offers superior versatility compared to rigid U-locks, allowing you to navigate awkward locking situations and secure your bicycle even when optimal anchor points are limited. When not in use, the lock folds compactly to just 185 x 78 x 43mm, making storage and transport remarkably convenient for such a high-security product.
Premium Materials and Frame Protection
The lock features an extra-soft coating on all bars to prevent damage to your bicycle’s paintwork, whilst the bars, housing, and all structural components of the locking mechanism are manufactured from specially hardened steel for maximum durability. The included SH lock carrier mounts tool-free to most bicycle frames using practical tensioning straps, allowing you to carry this 1,670g lock securely without rattling or movement during rides. The lock removes frontally from the carrier for quick access.
Convenient Features
Practical convenience matches security credentials with the inclusion of two keys, one featuring an integrated LED micro-light for effortless operation in low-light conditions—essential for early morning commutes or evening lock-ups. The smooth locking mechanism ensures easy operation even with gloved hands, whilst the included code card provides your unique key number for ordering replacement keys through ABUS’s convenient key service should you ever need duplicates.
German Quality and Certification
Proudly Made in Germany, the BORDO GRANIT 6500K also passes ABUS’s rigorous Ice Spray Test, confirming resistance to freezing attacks that can compromise lesser locks in cold weather conditions. The lock can be produced keyed-alike to a variety of other ABUS locks, allowing you to use a single key across multiple security products—a significant convenience for cyclists who secure bikes, accessories, and storage areas.
