ABUS 4508C Coil Cable Lock, 8 mm, Black

The ABUS 4508C Coil Cable Lock is a versatile and reliable security solution designed to protect your bicycle from theft. Featuring a robust 8 mm high-quality steel cable, this lock offers a practical balance between flexibility and strength. Its sleek black design includes a protective synthetic coating that prevents scratches and damage to your bicycle's paintwork, ensuring your bike remains in pristine condition.

Advantages

This coil cable lock stands out due to its user-friendly features, such as the dark-touch function that allows for easy operation in low-light conditions through special imprinting on the dials. The combination lock mechanism is individually settable, providing convenience without the need for keys. Furthermore, the two-component moulded digits are designed for life-long visibility, ensuring the code remains readable over years of use. Its compact coil design makes it exceptionally easy to transport, while the included Snap Cage bracket allows for universal mounting on various bicycle frames.

Suitable for

• Securing bicycles in low-risk areas
• Locking bicycle components as a secondary security measure
• Use by multiple people who need access to the same lock
• Quick stops where convenience and portability are prioritized

When it may not be suitable

This lock is not recommended for high-risk areas or for securing high-value bicycles for extended periods, as cable locks are generally more susceptible to cutting tools than heavy-duty chains or U-locks. It should ideally be used as a secondary deterrent or for short-term security.

How to use

To use the ABUS 4508C, first set your personal combination according to the provided instructions. Once set, wrap the flexible cable around your bicycle frame and a secure, immovable object such as a bike rack or lamp post. Insert the locking head into the mechanism until it clicks. To unlock, align your chosen code on the dials and pull the head out. The coil design allows the cable to retract into a compact shape, making it simple to store in the Snap Cage bracket attached to your bike frame while riding.

What to consider before purchase

• Assess the security level required for your specific environment
• Ensure the cable length is sufficient for your intended locking points
• Verify that the Snap Cage bracket is compatible with your bicycle frame geometry

Usage recommendations

For optimal security, always lock your bicycle to a fixed, immovable object. If you are leaving your bike for an extended period, consider using this cable lock in combination with a secondary, more robust locking device to increase the overall deterrent effect.
