Where are the differences?

Let's take the two folding locks Abus Bordo Combo Lite 6150 and Trelock FS 360 Code in the comparison and take a closer look at the differences.

Locking system

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

  • Key
  • combination lock
In this case both folding locks work with a Bordo Combo Lite 6150. A combination lock is somewhat less secure than a lock with a key. The reason for this is the slightly more unstable cylinder. Tests have shown that these are easier to break open. In addition, the combinations of combination locks can be tested to open the lock. This of course takes some time. But you have the advantage that you don't have to carry a key with you and can lose it. Both models have a number combination of 4 digits. Neither of the two locks has a cover on the lock cylinder.

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 Combo Lite 6150 has a weight of 520 g. The weight of the Trelock FS 360 Code is 980 g. In this case the Bordo Combo Lite 6150 performs worse.

Length

The length of the Abus Bordo Combo Lite 6150 is 85 cm. Same with the Trelock FS 360 Code.

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.

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 Combo Lite 6150 has the securetylevel 6 of 15. The securetylevel of the Trelock FS 360 Code is 3 of 6.
