U-lock ABUS GRANIT Plus 470 Black 300 mm

The ABUS GRANIT Plus 470 U-lock Black 300 mm is a compact, high-strength security device designed for locking bicycles and other personal mobility equipment in urban environments. Constructed from hardened steel with a 1.4 cm diameter shackle, the lock balances physical resistance with manageable weight. At approximately 1.3 kg and with external dimensions of 300 mm length and 109 mm width, the U-lock offers a predictable fit for common frame and wheel combinations while remaining suitable for daily transport.

Advantages

The U-lock's hardened steel construction and reinforced crossbar increase resistance to cutting and leverage attacks. Its compact dimensions provide a secure locking zone around a frame and immovable object while minimising exposed shackle length. The lock includes a precision key mechanism for reliable operation and reduced risk of jamming. A weather-resistant finish protects internal components from moisture and corrosion, extending service life during outdoor use.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Securing bicycles in city and commuter environments
• Locking scooters and e-bikes to fixed objects
• Temporary protection at transit hubs, workplaces and short errands
• Use with bicycle stands, metal railings and street fixtures

Key specifications

• Shackle diameter: 1.4 cm
• External dimensions: 300 mm (length) × 109 mm (width)
• Weight: approx. 1.3 kg
• Material: hardened steel shackle and reinforced crossbar
• Finish: weather-resistant coating
• Included: one key for the cylinder lock

How to use

Position the U-lock so the shackle passes through the bicycle frame and, when possible, at least one wheel, then close it around a solid, immovable object such as a bike rack or post. Insert the key into the cylinder and rotate to lock; verify that the crossbar is fully engaged and the shackle cannot be pulled free. When unlocking, use the key to release the mechanism and remove the shackle carefully to avoid pinching. Store the key in a secure place and consider carrying a spare key separately.

Usage recommendations

For optimal security, place the lock as close to the object as possible to reduce leverage, avoid leaving the lock on the ground to limit exposure to moisture and dirt, and combine the U-lock with an additional cable or chain to secure detached wheels or accessories.
