Abus Bordo 6000 vs Bordo Granit XPlus 6500 - Where are the differences?

Let's look at the differences between the two folding locks Bordo 6000 and Bordo Granit XPlus 6500 from Abus in comparison.

Locking system

There are primarily two types of locking systems for bicycle locks, especially folding locks:

• Key
• combination lock

Weight

With a bicycle lock, weight is an interesting and also important factor. A heavy bicycle lock is usually made of stronger material and is therefore safer. The Abus Bordo 6000 has a weight of 1200 g. The weight of the Abus Bordo Granit XPlus 6500 is 1760 g. In this case the Bordo 6000 performs worse.

Length

The length of the Abus Bordo 6000 is 90 cm. Thus the Abus Bordo Granit XPlus 6500 with 85 cm is shorter and offers less leeway.

A shorter bicycle lock has the disadvantage that it offers less space when chaining. On the other hand, it is a little safer, so thieves do not have as much room and leverage to break it open. Especially with folding locks the length has an effect on security. The longer the lock is, the more elements are used. Each element makes the folding lock more unstable and offers more risk for theft.

According to the principle you get a little less security with the Bordo 6000. The length naturally also affects the weight of the bicycle lock. This is relatively logical, since more material is used.

Securety Level

The Securetylevel describes the security level of the bicycle locks. However, this value is not a standard and is determined by each manufacturer. Sometimes the maximum value is raised after a certain time.

Therefore you must always consider the individual maximum value for the securetylevel. The Abus Bordo 6000 has the securetylevel 10 of 15. The securetylevel of the Abus Bordo Granit XPlus 6500 is 15 of 15. Thus the manufacturer classifies the Abus Bordo 6000 as less reliable in this comparison.
