YOUR BIKE IS AN INVESTMENT. PROTECT IT WITH SERIOUS SECURITY.

Meet the ABUS GRANIT XPlus 540/160HB300, a premium high-security U-lock engineered for bicycles and valuable electric bikes exposed to an increased risk of theft. Rated 15 out of 15 on the ABUS bicycle-lock security scale, it combines hardened steel construction, a patented Power Cell system, and the advanced ABUS XPlus cylinder. This package includes the longer 300 mm U-lock and the dedicated USH540 frame holder for convenient transport on compatible bicycle frames. Premium German security engineering, available through INTHEZONE in Ireland and Europe.

15/15 ABUS Security Level
13 MM Hardened Steel Shackle
XPLUS High-Security Cylinder
300 MM Long U-Lock Format
BUILT TO RESIST. ENGINEERED TO PROTECT.

A premium e-bike deserves more than an ordinary locking solution. The ABUS GRANIT XPlus 540 combines a specially hardened steel body, powerful locking technology and a precision cylinder designed to resist common forced-entry and manipulation techniques. The 300 mm shackle provides useful reach when securing your bike to an appropriate fixed anchor. For regular commuting, public bicycle parking or high-value e-bike ownership, this lock offers a serious approach to theft deterrence. Strong materials. Purposeful engineering. Premium ABUS security.

SECURITY LEVEL 15/15 POWER CELL TECHNOLOGY ABUS XPLUS CYLINDER DOUBLE-LOCKING SHACKLE USH540 HOLDER INCLUDED HARDENED STEEL
ABUS HIGH-SECURITY ENGINEERING

Multiple Layers of Resistance. One Purpose-Built Security System.

Effective bicycle security starts with choosing equipment that is designed for the threats it may face. ABUS combines hardened construction, a resistant locking mechanism and anti-manipulation technology in the GRANIT XPlus 540. Each component contributes to the complete lock design.

Hardened Steel Shackle

The patented 13 mm square-section, parabolic shackle is made from specially hardened steel. Designed to resist common physical attack methods.

ABUS Power Cell

Patented technology designed to improve resistance against impact and attempts to force open the lock.

XPlus Cylinder

A precision cylinder engineered for strong resistance to manipulation, including lock-picking attempts.

Double-Locking Design

The shackle locks into the body at two points, contributing to resistance against twisting and forcing attacks.

Reinforced Lock Body

The housing and key structural locking components use specially hardened steel for a durable, security-focused build.

Protected Keyhole

An automatic cover helps protect the keyhole from dirt, contamination and corrosion.

ABUS SECURITY LEVEL 15 OF 15

Maximum ABUS Bicycle-Lock Rating. Designed for High-Risk Locations.

The GRANIT XPlus 540 carries the highest rating on the ABUS 15-level bicycle-lock scale. This classification makes it a particularly relevant option for riders securing valuable bicycles or e-bikes in locations with a higher theft risk. Level 15/15 is an ABUS product rating, not a guarantee against theft.

Urban Parking

Well suited to locations where stronger physical theft deterrence is desirable. Choose visible, well-secured parking facilities whenever possible.

INSURANCE INFORMATION: ABUS lists independent security approvals for this model family. Insurance requirements vary by provider, country, coverage value and exact lock variant. Always check whether your specific lock is accepted under your policy before relying on it for insurance compliance.
300 MM FORMAT • LOCKING FLEXIBILITY

More Reach. More Ways to Secure Your Bike.

The longer 300 mm shackle gives this model added reach compared with shorter U-locks. This can make securing a bicycle to a suitable rack or anchor easier in many everyday situations. The 108 mm specified lock width should also be considered when assessing a frame, wheel and anchor combination. Always confirm that the lock will fit around your chosen frame and anchor.

E-Bike Frame Considerations

Some e-bikes have oversized, unusually shaped or reinforced tubing. Measure the intended locking point before ordering. Not every e-bike frame geometry accommodates the same U-lock.

USH540 • INCLUDED TRANSPORT HOLDER

Strong Security at Your Destination. Convenient Transport on the Way.

This package includes the dedicated ABUS USH540 holder, designed to transport the GRANIT 540 on a compatible bicycle frame. The bracket attaches to suitable round frame tubes measuring 15–35 mm in diameter. Depending on frame configuration, the holder can be mounted within or alongside the frame.

Frame-Mounted Transport

Carry the U-lock on your bicycle rather than inside a backpack. Confirm secure installation before riding.

15–35 mm Round Tubes

Designed for compatible round frame tubing. Oversized, irregular and non-round tubes may not be suitable.

Multiple Mounting Positions

Depending on frame clearance, the bracket may be positioned inside the frame or at its side. Check moving-part clearance carefully.

MOUNTING CHECK: Many modern fat-tyre and electric bikes have oversized frame tubes or large batteries. The USH540 holder is not universally compatible with every e-bike. Measure the frame before ordering. Follow the bicycle manufacturer's guidance before attaching a clamp, particularly on carbon frames.
SMART SECURITY • PRACTICAL LOCKING

A Strong Lock Matters. How You Use It Matters Too.

Even premium security equipment should be used carefully. Whenever possible, secure the bicycle frame to a strong, immovable anchor. Follow the recommendations below to make better use of the GRANIT XPlus 540.

01

Find a Secure Anchor

Choose a fixed, properly installed rack or suitable immovable structure.

02

Lock the Frame

Secure the main bicycle frame to the anchor. Avoid locking only a removable wheel.

03

Minimise Free Space

Position the U-lock to minimise unnecessary clearance where practical.

04

Check the Lock

Confirm both shackle ends are engaged. Test that the lock has closed securely.

SECURITY TIP: For higher-value e-bikes or longer parking periods, consider pairing the U-lock with an independent second lock. Secure removable components where possible. No bicycle lock can eliminate theft risk.

ABUS XPLUS 540 • BUYER QUESTIONS

Serious Security. Questions Answered.

Is the ABUS GRANIT XPlus 540 suitable for e-bikes?

Yes. ABUS recommends the GRANIT XPlus 540 for valuable bicycles and locations with elevated theft risk. It is suitable for compatible e-bikes when the shackle fits securely around the frame and an appropriate anchor.

What does ABUS security level 15/15 mean?

Level 15 is the highest rating on ABUS's bicycle-lock security scale. It reflects ABUS's assessment of the lock's protective design. No rating guarantees protection from theft.

Is this the longer 300 mm version?

Yes. This listing is for the 540/160HB300 version, which has a manufacturer-listed height of 300 mm and width of 108 mm. Measure your intended locking position before ordering.

Is the USH540 holder included?

Yes. The supplied package includes the ABUS USH540 transport holder. It is designed for compatible round frame tubes from 15–35 mm in diameter.

Will the USH540 fit my fat-tyre e-bike?

It depends on frame geometry. Many fat-tyre e-bikes have oversized or irregular frame tubes outside the bracket's specified mounting range. Confirm fit before buying. Alternative carrying arrangements may be required.

How much does the complete lock weigh?

ABUS lists approximately 1,850 g for the 540/160HB300 plus USH540 holder combination. The lock alone is approximately 1,700 g. Actual shipment weight includes packaging.

How many keys come with the lock?

Two original ABUS keys are included. An ABUS key code card assists with future compatible replacement-key orders. Store the card safely.

Is the lock approved by bicycle insurers?

This lock family has independent security certifications. However, insurer requirements differ. Check the precise accepted model, required rating, locking method and policy conditions with your insurer. Do not assume approval based solely on the ABUS 15/15 rating.

Does the lock have an alarm?

No. This is a mechanical high-security U-lock using the ABUS XPlus key cylinder. It does not contain an electronic alarm.

Can it be used outdoors?

Yes, as a bicycle security lock for appropriate outdoor parking. The automatic keyhole cover helps protect against dirt and corrosion. Follow ABUS maintenance guidance.

Does the lock guarantee my bicycle cannot be stolen?

No. No mechanical lock can completely eliminate the risk of theft. Secure the frame to a strong immovable anchor, select a safer parking location and consider additional security for valuable bikes.

Can I order it in Ireland and Europe?

Yes. INTHEZONE lists dedicated Ireland and EU shipping options. Select the correct region and review checkout availability before payment.

🇮🇪 IRELAND • 🇪🇺 EUROPE INTHEZONE BUYER GUIDE

YOUR BIKE IS REPLACEABLE. YOUR FREEDOM ISN'T.

When you buy an electric bike, you're investing in more than a product. You're investing in daily convenience, independence and the ability to move through your day on your own terms. The real value of bicycle security begins with everything your bike allows you to do. That's the perspective worth considering before choosing your next lock.

IMAGINE WALKING OUTSIDE. YOUR BIKE IS GONE.

It's a normal Tuesday morning. You leave home expecting your usual commute. The place where your bike should be is empty. Suddenly, your daily routine becomes a problem. How will you get to work? What will replacing your bike cost? How much time will the process take? A stolen bicycle isn't simply a missing possession. It can create unexpected travel costs, lost time, insurance complications and considerable inconvenience. That's why the decision to invest in suitable security deserves serious thought.

02 / THE INDEPENDENCE PERSPECTIVE

YOUR BIKE IS PART OF YOUR EVERYDAY FREEDOM.

For some people, an electric bike is weekend recreation. For others, it replaces regular car journeys, public transport or daily commuting. When a bicycle becomes essential to your routine, security becomes part of responsible ownership. The more you depend on your bike, the more sensible it becomes to think carefully about the places where you leave it.

PROTECT THE MOBILITY YOU DEPEND ON.
03 / THE DAILY HABIT PERSPECTIVE

THE BEST SECURITY IS SECURITY YOU ACTUALLY USE.

Imagine buying excellent security equipment, only to leave it at home because carrying it feels inconvenient. That investment loses much of its practical value. A lock should fit your routine as well as your security needs. Consider its carrying arrangements, the places you park and how frequently you stop. Good equipment works best when it becomes a consistent habit.

CONSISTENCY MATTERS AS MUCH AS EQUIPMENT CHOICE.

A BICYCLE LOCK DOESN'T MAKE YOUR BIKE INVINCIBLE. IT'S PART OF MAKING A BETTER SECURITY DECISION.

THE EVERYDAY SECURITY QUESTION

WHERE DO YOU LEAVE YOUR BIKE MOST OFTEN?

The right security purchase depends on more than your bicycle's value. Consider where it is parked, how visible the location is and how long you leave it.

THE DAILY COMMUTE

Parking at work or near a transport hub? Repeated daily parking can create predictable opportunities for thieves. Consider a strong security setup and safer, managed parking where available.

THE QUICK STOP

Coffee. Groceries. Collecting something from a shop. Short stops still carry risk. Make secure parking part of the routine, even when you plan to return quickly.

SMART BUYING DECISION

IS THE GRANIT XPLUS 540 THE RIGHT INVESTMENT FOR YOU?

YES — IF SECURITY IS A PRIORITY

You own a valuable bicycle or e-bike. You regularly park in public locations or areas where theft exposure concerns you. You want a substantial mechanical security solution and are comfortable carrying a heavier lock. You value durability and practical security more than minimum weight.

CONSIDER SOMETHING ELSE IF...

You prioritise extremely lightweight equipment and rarely leave your bicycle unattended. Your frame or regular parking points do not accommodate the lock's shape. Or you need a specific independent certification required by your bicycle insurer. Always match the lock to the actual use case.

A PREMIUM LOCK IS NOT A COMPLETE SECURITY PLAN.

Even strong U-locks cannot guarantee that a bicycle will never be stolen. Parking location, the quality of the anchor, correct use and the attention of potential thieves all influence risk. For higher-value electric bikes, consider complementary security, such as a second independent lock, suitable insurance and secure indoor storage. Always check your insurer's exact approved-lock requirements and policy conditions. Good security is a combination of equipment, judgement and consistent habits.

ABUS GRANIT XPLUS 540 • INTHEZONE ELECTRIC MOBILITY

THE REAL INVESTMENT IS THE LIFE YOU LIVE WITH YOUR BIKE.

Every bicycle has a price. But the freedom to move, the convenience of daily travel and the time saved along the way can mean much more. The ABUS GRANIT XPlus 540 is a premium security choice for riders who take the protection of their bicycle seriously. A considered purchase for people who value their everyday mobility and prefer stronger security as part of their regular routine. Choose wisely. Park carefully. Protect what keeps you moving. Your bike is valuable. Your freedom matters more.

No bicycle lock is theft-proof. Security ratings do not guarantee theft prevention, insurer acceptance or reimbursement. Choose secure parking locations whenever possible. Use a suitable, immovable anchor and follow the lock manufacturer's instructions. Verify compatibility with your bicycle and frame before purchase. Available through INTHEZONE for Ireland and eligible European destinations.
