Cable lock ABUS Steel-O-Flex Black 850 mm Silicone cover 700 g

The ABUS Steel-O-Flex Black cable lock 850 mm with silicone cover is a flexible security accessory designed for everyday protection of bicycles and other portable valuables. With a length of 850 mm and a weight of approximately 700 g, the cable combines pliability and resistance to bending, while the silicone cover reduces the risk of paint damage and provides a quieter handling experience. The design is intended for quick securing of items in urban and recreational settings where moderate theft protection is required.

Advantages

The silicone-covered Steel-O-Flex cable offers balanced flexibility and strength, allowing it to be routed through frames and around fixed objects with ease. The cover protects surfaces from scratches and minimizes rattling. Its moderate weight contributes to perceived durability without being overly cumbersome for daily transport. The construction resists common manipulations such as cutting with light hand tools, and the finish maintains a consistent appearance under regular outdoor use.

Suitable for

• Securing children's ride-on bikes and small bicycles
• Locking scooters, strollers and other portable outdoor equipment
• Temporary locking of helmets, pumps or bags to bike frames
• Use in urban environments for short to medium duration parking

Key specifications

• Cable length: 850 mm
• Approximate weight: 700 g
• Protective coating: silicone cover to prevent scratches and dampen noise
• Construction: flexible steel cable core for bending resistance and basic cutting protection
• Color: black

How to use

Wrap the cable around the frame or object to be secured and pass the free end through or around the wheel, frame tubes or attachment point before engaging the lock mechanism. Ensure the cable is positioned so it cannot be easily lifted over the secured object and that the silicone cover fully contacts the surface to avoid chafing. For best fit, adjust the cable routing to minimize exposed lengths and to keep the lock body in a position that is not easily accessible for tampering.

Usage recommendations

Use the Steel-O-Flex cable as a secondary or temporary locking solution in combination with a more robust lock when leaving valuables unattended for extended periods or in high-risk areas. Store the cable dry and avoid prolonged exposure to salt or chemical agents to maintain the silicone cover and steel core condition.
