Abus Granit Super Extreme 2500: the current position
Abus currently markets the Super Extreme 2500 as a highly attack-resistant U-lock. Its unusual construction, dimensions, weight and frame bracket should all be assessed on the current product page.
A top-tier lock may be justified for an expensive bicycle or exposed parking, but it still depends on a secure stand and a method that captures the frame.
- Current high-security Abus U-lock
- Attack-resistant material focus
- Substantial weight and dimensions
- Product-specific transport bracket
Earlier and current versions
The old Granit 1000/100 and current 2500 are not the same format. Historical conclusions about reach, carrying or independent rating cannot be transferred.
Use current insurance requirements and certification databases alongside manufacturer information.
This comparison is for cycling D-locks, not the Granit chain or Super Extreme 2500 motorcycle lock discussed here. Check the exact security certification and your insurer's requirements; these products are not interchangeable.
Design and practical details
Judge the Abus Granit Super Extreme 2500 as a complete product. Compatibility, construction, included fittings and the maker's current instructions matter more than an earlier score or launch price.

How it works and who it suits
This is specialist high-security equipment. Check that its dimensions fit both the bicycle and local stands and that its weight is realistic for every journey.
For component security or awkward furniture, pair it with a complementary second lock rather than leaving the frame unsecured.
Checks before buying
Colours, materials, fittings and included accessories can change during a product's sales life. Check the exact current listing and retain the maker's instructions.
- Check the maker's current dimensions and compatibility information
- Compare the exact current product rather than relying on an earlier score or price
- Confirm warranty, spares and returns before ordering
- Inspect safety-critical fittings regularly once the product is in use
- Verify current independent certification for the exact model
Care, use and replacement
Follow the current maker's instructions for cleaning, adjustment and storage. Dirt, ultraviolet light, sweat and repeated wet use can shorten the life of fabrics, coatings and fittings.
Stop using equipment when a structural attachment, lock, light mount or load-bearing part is damaged. Replacement parts must match the exact generation rather than merely sharing a product-family name.
