Folding lock ABUS Bordo Lite 6055/85 Red Black

The ABUS Bordo Lite 6055/85 Red Black is a lightweight folding lock designed for convenient everyday bicycle security. Constructed from hardened steel links connected by durable rivets and finished with a weather-resistant coating, this 850 mm lock balances portability and protection. Weighing approximately 550 g and supplied with one key, the lock folds down into a compact shape that can be carried in a backpack or mounted on a frame bracket for easy transport.

Advantages

The folding design provides a compact footprint when stored and an extended reach when securing a bike to fixed objects. Hardened steel construction increases resistance to cutting and sawing attempts while the protective coating prevents paint damage and reduces corrosion. At roughly 550 g the lock offers a favorable strength-to-weight ratio for commuters and cyclists seeking a practical compromise between security and portability. The supplied single key mechanism is simple to operate and requires minimal maintenance.

Suitable for

• Securing bicycles in urban environments and on bike racks
• Commuter and hybrid bikes where portability is important
• Short to medium duration stops such as shops, cafés, or public transport hubs
• Use with helmets or accessories when combined with an appropriate anchor point

How to use

To secure your bicycle, unfold the lock to its full length and loop it through the bike frame and a fixed anchor point such as a bike rack or post. Align the ends and insert the keyed cylinder to lock; ensure the key turns fully and remove it. When not in use fold the bars back together along their hinge points until compact, and store the lock in a frame-mounted holder or backpack. Regularly inspect the locking cylinder and joints for smooth operation and remove dirt or debris that might hinder folding or locking.

Usage recommendations

For improved security, position the lock so it passes through the frame and at least one wheel, or use in combination with an additional cable or secondary lock for larger objects. Avoid leaving the lock exposed to prolonged wet or salty conditions without cleaning and lubrication of the key cylinder. Keep the supplied key in a safe place and consider registering a spare key to prevent being locked out.
