Is this cable lock strong enough to use on its own?
This spiral cable lock is best used as a secondary lock alongside a sturdier U-lock or folding lock. While it deters casual theft of wheels, helmets or accessories, its flexible cable construction is not designed to replace a primary high-security lock for the whole bike.
Will the cable damage my bike’s paint?
No, the ABUS Helix 4512K/180 features a protective plastic coating around the spiral cable, which reliably shields your frame, wheels and other sensitive surfaces from scratches and paint damage while in use or during transport.
How long is the cable and will it reach around my wheel and helmet?
The cable measures 180 cm, giving you enough length and flexibility to secure your rear wheel, helmet and small accessories together to a fixed point, making it a practical addition for quick stops throughout the day.
