Chain lock ABUS Extreme Plus 59 Black 1700 mm Hardened steel

The ABUS Extreme Plus 59 Black 1700 mm is a heavy-duty chain lock constructed from hardened steel, designed to secure bicycles and outdoor equipment. With a total length of 1700 mm and a substantial weight of 5.7 kg, this chain lock combines robust link thickness and a secure cylinder mechanism. The lock includes two keys and a black protective sleeve that helps prevent paint damage while maintaining weather resistance for regular outdoor use.

Advantages

The hardened steel construction and 12 mm chain link diameter provide elevated resistance against cutting and leverage attacks compared with lighter locks. The integrated locking mechanism is engineered to resist manipulation, while the protective sleeve reduces abrasion and protects frames from scratches. At 1700 mm length, the chain offers flexibility to secure a bicycle to fixed objects or to lock multiple items together without compromising on security due to its mass and link size.

Suitable for

• Securing city and commuter bicycles in medium- to high-risk urban environments
• Locking mountain bikes and e-bikes where heavier-duty protection is needed
• Protecting outdoor equipment such as trailers, scooters, or garden machinery
• Temporary or longer-term locking of multiple items to a fixed anchor point

Key specifications

• Material: Hardened steel chain
• Chain length: 1700 mm
• Chain link diameter: 12 mm
• Weight: 5.7 kg
• Finish: Black protective sleeve to prevent scratches and corrosion exposure
• Locking mechanism: Cylinder lock with two supplied keys

How to use

Wrap the chain around the bicycle frame and a fixed, immovable object such as a street post or secure anchor point, ensuring the chain passes through the frame and, if possible, the rear wheel. Thread the chain ends into the cylinder lock and turn the key to secure. When parking in public areas, position the lock off the ground and close to the frame to reduce leverage attacks. Store the spare key separately from the lock to avoid total loss if one key is misplaced.

Usage recommendations

For best protection, use the ABUS Extreme Plus 59 Black 1700 mm in combination with additional security measures where appropriate, such as a secondary U-lock for the wheel or an alarmed device. Regularly inspect the protective sleeve and the cylinder for dirt or debris and lubricate the lock cylinder with a suitable graphite or silicone-based lubricant if operation becomes stiff. Avoid leaving the chain in prolonged contact with salt or chemically aggressive environments; rinse and dry after exposure to road salt or coastal conditions.
