Abus Granit X-Plus
£61.65 from Wiggle.co.uk
One of the strongest locks around, and one which has been the top of many of a review. It’s relatively light (at 1.8kg, relative is the operative word), but super tough. I bought it primarily as a lock to qualify my insurance for my road bike, but found that it definitely makes the grade to take around the world.
Some may think it’s overkill to take a d-lock like this on a relatively safe expedition, but at the end of the day there will always be times when you need to lock your bike. And when your bike is your you home, your transport and all you’re worth, you don’t want to risk it.
We’re taking a couple of these and a cable lock, for the additional flexibility.
Pros:
Strong
Robust easy to use system (doesn’t jam)
Long enough to fit through frame and two wheels
Cons:
Only comes with 2 keys. Cheapskates.
