SECURITY WITH ABUS QUALITY Even in the basic protection range, ABUS offers consistently outstanding quality. Both in terms of technology and choice of materials. We recommend the TECTIC™ 496 Frame Lock for securing low-cost bikes. The bike lock offers good protection against low risk of theft and is classified as a security level 6 lock. The shackle, the housing and the structural parts of the TECTIC™ 496 Frame Lock's locking mechanism are manufactured from specially hardened steel. To keep your bike even more secure against theft, we recommend the use of a second lock in the form of an ABUS U-lock or chain lock.
