Abus Link Lock

https://www.comcycle-usa.com/ProductInfo.aspx?id=4946315

Does anybody have any experience with this product? I really like the idea, but I'm worry about its strength.

for $104 I really hope you can't just take it apart at the hinges with an Allen wrench.

But how can you take off mirrors with that.

At least it seems compact. Do I need a fourth type of lock?

From what I read, it's solid but the weak point is the rivets. I still wouldn't buy one, I'll stay with a traditional U-lock.

Hi, I use it in a low crime area. Its convenient - but not as flexible as one might first think because it does not flex in all directions.
Just to info: there is a new, with same style like the one you linked but with security level 15 (the highest, same like best U-locks from Abus). Its called Bordo X-Plus Granit, 85 cm. 1,6 kg.
