The Sold Secure Diamond rated Granit X-Plus 54 Mini borrows many of the features of its mega tough brother and top choice for motorbike security, the Granit Extreme 59. The parabolic 13mm square section shackle is massively resistant to cropping and twisting. It is securely held in place by the Powercell double locking mechanism with the ease of use of the X-Plus locking system (with an illuminated key provided). Due to its compact 15cm long shackle, it fits in a bag or back pocket easily and it comes without a frame bracket.
Coming complete with the necessary mounting implements, the hardened special steel shackle can be used as a reliable loop for chain or cable locks, letting you tether your bike in place with confidence, wherever you set it up. Ideal for garages or cellars, this is an excellent additional security option.
This tough bike lock is securely held in place by the Powercell double locking mechanism that offers the highest protection against hitting and pulling attacks. The Abus Abus Granit XPlus locking system with automatic keyhole cover ensures ease of use while offering protection against dirt, corrosion and also picking. An LED illuminated key and code card are provided and the lock can be fitted to frames with its USH brackets. The longer the shackle, the easier the bike can be locked to a fixed object. Plus with a Sold Secure Diamond rating, its parabolic 13mm square section shackle is massively resistant to cropping and twisting. Specifications: Height: 230mm Width: 108mm Diameter: 13mm Weight: 1450g
Utilising advanced power cell technology, the Abus Granit XPlus bike lock provides unrivalled protection against hammer and impact attacks while the automatic keyhole cover does a great job in thwarting any lock-picking attempts. The 13mm, hardened square shaft parabolic design of the shackle provides a robust and reliable shape for tethering your bike to your chosen anchor, making it super tough for opportunists to get away with your bike. An ideal lock for high-value bikes, it works great on its own or as a loop for additional chain or cable locks, making it the perfect security choice for peace of mind.
A hard nut for thieves to crack: the GRANIT 460 U-Lock cannot be bent open or attacked using ice spray. This U-lock has a lot to offer: the 12mm parabolic shackle, the housing and the load-bearing parts of the locking mechanism are manufactured using specially hardened steel. When combined with the ABUS Extra-Class cylinder, they result in a lock which can rightly be considered the safest way of securing high-value bicycles. The locking mechanism is a stand-out feature: not only is it particularly secure thanks to the double locking system but it is also supplied with a coded reversible key. By ordering other locks which are coded appropriately, all of the locks owned by the members of a single-family can be operated using one key, for example.
With an ABUS rating of 12 (out of 15) the Granit Plus 470 offers excellent practical, urban level security for your bike. It features a 12mm round parabolic shackle and a double-bolting lock body and, thanks to the patented ABUS Power Cell technology, provides outstanding protection against hitting, twisting and pulling attacks. The ABUS Plus Cylinder offers a high degree of protection against picking attacks and the automatic keyhole cover adds protection against dirt and corrosion even in the coldest temperatures. Stop thieves in their tracks: the GRANIT Plus 470 U-Lock offers superb protection against attempts to remove the lock by hitting or pulling. Do you need to leave your high-value bicycle in locations such as railway stations where the risk of theft is high? Then the GRANIT Plus 470 U-Lock is your ideal companion: the ABUS Power Cell technology offers superlative protection against attempts to remove the lock by hitting or pulling. The shackle, the body and the load-bearing parts of the locking mechanism are manufactured from specially hardened steel. It also features the picking-resistant Plus disc cylinder. This combination has earned the GRANIT Plus 470 acclaim in a wide variety of tests, with seals of approval from OSIMZ (Russia) and test institutes in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and the United Kingdom.
Thanks to its DuraSkin anti-tear fabric, the Grand Prix 4 Season holds up under extreme conditions. In the Paris Roubaix race, the Hell of the North, cyclists equipped with DuraSkin enhanced tyres have the fewest tyre related problems during the race. Incorporating Conti's special wear resistant carbon compound, the tyre is characterised by very good mileage performance as well as excellent adhesion on wet roads and at low temperatures. Vectran™ Breaker Vectran is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran is spun from melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed further to a multi-strand thread. Spider silk, like Vectran, has an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight – exactly the right properties to process into a premium Continental bike tyre as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran Breaker does not adversely affect the rolling resistance. DuraSkin Tyres with DuraSkin sidewall protection have to be able to roll with the punches. They are used under the harshest conditions. The high-quality polyamide fabric protects the tyre casing against the worst conditions. These tyres stand out thanks to their brown sidewalls

BlackChili Compound Continental refine newly developed synthetic rubbers with natural rubber with the proven high-performance tread compound. They use these rubbers with special nanometric carbon soot particles, which are optimized in shape and surface properties for best uses for the intended tyre. BlackChili Compound reaches an unprecedented of performance. Tyres with BlackChili Compound reach an unprecedented level of performance. Compared to the previous best Activated Silica Compound, BlackChili tyres have 26% less rolling resistance, a 30 % higher friction value (grip) and a 5 % increase in mileage.
PolyX Breaker Technology With their PolyX Breaker, Continental bring PKW know-how to the bike tyre arena – Polyester has been used successfully for years in car tyres and been tried and tested many times. The extremely resistant polyester fibre is woven tightly crosswire making a very high fabric density which not only makes the Breaker more resistant to foreign objects but is also resistant to punctures. The rolling resistance is not affected either by the PolyX Breaker.

TPS TyrePositioning System The narrower front tyre (22mm) provides reduced wind resistance and better handling. An adhesion-optimised tread mixture supplies the necessary grip, especially for wet cornering. The wider rear tyre (24mm) offers better traction thanks to a larger contact area and at the same time more comfort. Thanks to the fast-rolling, optimised tread mixture and larger contact area on the rear tyre, wear is reduced. The result is a pioneering front and rear tyre system for road racing – to be found in Conti’s GP Attack and Force tyres/tubs.

Most road bikes nowadays come fitted, as standard, with 700c wheels (including inner tubes and tyres) and not 650c. A 650c inner tube or tyre WILL NOT fit a 700c wheel. Please read the 650c Wheel Sizing guide explaining the difference between 650c and 700c wheels. Based on ETRTO (European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation) dimensions, 650c wheels are smaller than 700c wheels by about eight percent. Please, when on this page make sure you are buying the correct tyre size for you wheel. Check the sizing on your tyre before purchasing from this page. Tyre sizes tend to be printed on the sidewalls so please check before making a purchase.
