Bewertung und Empfehlungen für ABUS Kettenschloss Steel-O-Chain™ XPlus™ 9808K/85

Vorteile

• ABUS XPlus cylinder with high resistance to picking and manipulation
• 8 mm square-hardened steel chain links improve resistance to sawing and basic hand tools
• ABUS internal security rating 11/15 indicates mid–high protection within brand lineup
• Textile sleeve reduces frame abrasion during locking and transport
• Automatic keyhole cover helps keep dirt and moisture out to reduce corrosion risk
• 85 cm length allows locking to many fixed objects while remaining manageable to carry
• XPlus system typically supports keyed-alike options across ABUS XPlus products (useful for multi-lock setups)

Punkte zum Abwägen

• Approx. 1.78 kg is heavy for daily carry relative to its protection level
• 8 mm chain can be vulnerable to large bolt cutters; not ideal for high-theft areas or overnight street parking
• 85 cm length may be insufficient for securing frame and a wheel to bulkier posts or for larger bikes
• Chain design can retain moisture under the sleeve; periodic drying and lubrication needed
• Slower to deploy than some U-locks and can be noisy when transported without a frame mount or bag

Fazit & Empfehlungen

A robust mid-tier chain lock with an excellent XPlus cylinder and 8 mm hardened square links, offering credible protection for day-to-day urban use. Weight is high for the security level, and 8 mm links remain susceptible to long bolt cutters. Works well for medium-risk scenarios and riders prioritizing flexibility and pick resistance, but heavier-duty chains or combinations are preferable in high-theft areas.

Einsatzmöglichkeiten & Tipps

Best for medium-risk urban environments where flexible locking around varied fixtures is needed. Suitable for commuters seeking solid pick resistance and good overall build quality, accepting higher weight. Not recommended as a sole lock in high-theft zones or for extended unattended parking; consider pairing with a U-lock or moving to a thicker (10–12 mm+) certified chain for higher risk.
