The Abus Bordo folding lock is a lock with convenience in mind first, security second. It folds away nicely, but Bikeradar.commanaged to pop a rivet in 46 seconds, giving it just a 3/5 score. If you don’t leave your bike in high-risk areas and can lock your bike somewhere within eyesight while you quickly pop into a café, this may be the lock for you.

The articulated sections are fairly long, meaning that it can be more difficult to thread this lock around secure poles, trees and railings that you might first think, and, as we continue to find with many lock brackets, once mounted on your frame it can rattle around and make a hell of a noise when you’re cycling, which can prove to be very annoying. It is also surprisingly on the heavy side.
The build quality feels high, with a coating that helps prevent rust demonstrating good attention to detail, and its unusual design means that marauding chancers might be put off even attempting to lift your bike through lack of familiarity.

We’re not going to recommend this to people with very expensive bikes or those who will be locking their bike in particularly dodgy areas (although if combined with a chunkier lock it would work fine), but anybody who wants to hop off and on their bike quickly might find its compact folding design to be worth the security trade-off.

Silicone cover
An interesting advantage of this lock is the silicone cover that is astandard addition. It allows you to place the lock into the cover and mount it to your bike. The process is simple and requires literally 1 minute. Add the fact the lock itself has silicone covers in order to prevent damages to the paint and the hardware and you actually get a highly safe and functional bike lock.

Premium cylinder
In order to prevent the manipulations, the manufacturer added a new cylinder. It is safer than the previous unit had to offer and it will require a lot more time in order to force unlock this lock.
