Abus Bordo Lite Mini 6055 vs uGrip Bordo 5700 - Where are the differences?

Let's look at the differences between the two folding locks Bordo Lite Mini 6055 and uGrip Bordo 5700 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 Lite Mini 6055 has a weight of 400 g. The weight of the Abus uGrip Bordo 5700 is 900 g. In this case the Bordo Lite Mini 6055 performs worse.

Length

The length of the Abus Bordo Lite Mini 6055 is 28.2 cm. Thus the Abus uGrip Bordo 5700 with 20.3 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 Lite Mini 6055. 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 Lite Mini 6055 has the securetylevel 7 of 15. The securetylevel of the Abus uGrip Bordo 5700 is 7 of 15. Both folding locks therefore have the identical security level from the manufacturer.
