ABUS 5510C Primo Combination Cable Bike Lock (1.8m, Black)

The ABUS 5510C Primo is a combination lock designed specifically for bicycle security, featuring a 1.8-metre long, 10mm thick braided steel spiral cable. This flexible cable is coated in protective plastic to prevent scratches and damage to a bicycle's paintwork during use. The lock employs a four-digit combination mechanism that can be individually configured by the user, eliminating the need for keys and making it suitable for shared use among family members or friends. Its self-coiling design allows for compact storage and easy transport when not in use. Key features include the 'dark-touch' function, which uses special imprinting on the number dials to facilitate code entry in low-light conditions. The two-component numbering rollers ensure the digits remain clearly legible over time. The 10mm cable provides a good level of cut resistance for its intended purpose, while the coiled nature of the cable offers practical length to secure a bicycle to various fixed objects like racks, poles, or fences. The entire unit is lightweight and does not include a mounting bracket, so it is typically carried in a bag or pannier. ABUS recommends this lock for securing entry-level bicycles and children's bikes, where the theft risk is considered low to moderate. It is an ideal choice for casual cyclists, commuters with lower-value bikes, or parents looking for a convenient, keyless lock for their child's bicycle. The combination mechanism makes it practical for situations where multiple people might need access, such as at a family home or shared storage facility. Its flexibility also allows it to be used to secure other items like garden equipment or sports gear to a fixed point.
