Yeah, people messing up car alarms have desensitized most to the sound. Hence, 120 dB would be better to actually deafen the would-be thief. :P As for alarms, these brake disc locks/alarms work pretty well. However if someone is to ignore the sound it does not attach the bike to anything on its own, just prevents rolling it off. Similar to a hub lock in a way, someone who scoops up bikes with a truck would only be slowed down slightly if you locked both wheels with it. They are only as hard to cut as the disc brake though, and while that is a very tough material, it is not indestructible whatsoever and is rather thin. On the upside, if you do this on both wheels, thief will have no brakes.

GMBN knows MTB. Lockpickinglawyer knows locks and has a report on the (Abus Bordo 6500)

Good to see that I'm not the first person to instantly think of the LPL videos of him defeating these types of locks! Having good security is all about layers. You should never rely on one lock or lock type, always have multiple ones that have to be attacked differently. This means any thief has to come prepared to attack in multiple ways, carrying different tools. If they have to cut a cable with a bolt cutter or grinder but then also attack some electronics or pick something then it'll take them longer and leave them exposed for longer. They want to walk up, break the lock open in a few seconds then leave with the bike. The more obstacles you can put in the way the more likely they will move on to easier targets.

With a grinder, which is what they would need to use to attempt to cut something like this it would set it off very easily by the vibration alone. The way it was built was actually really well thought out in this case. If the bike was a cable than I would have to agree that it needs to be more sensitive but its a level 15 grade lock which protects itself and has bonus features to deter thieves. That being said never depend on just one wall of defense. Use multiple locks, covers, alarms depending on the value of your bike. Also never leave your bike in the public overnight.

Loved Doddy's rye smile as he bashed and bashed to try and trigger the alarm😂 Oh the joys a 'paid promotion' .... never work with animals, children, and paid promo😰😂😂😂

Many of these comments say they would get something else because of what LPL says. I watched LPL and the non-bluetooth version of this lock. He had it in a vice to hold it stationary and crank on the nut splitter. It was braced to give him more leverage. Notice how long it took him to break that rivet. Try the same test but hanging between a bike and the solid stationary object you're locked to where the links can move. I believe it would take even longer.

LPL might struggle with this one. But as I discovered, even when locking both wheels and frame it didn't stop someone from taking my handlebars off and stealing my forks!! Use 2 locks people, and make sure one goes thru forks and both wheels too.

personally I use the "good enough against most people" philosophy. I have a long cable lock that can go through both wheels the saddle and the frame and still go around a tree. the lock is definitely not worth mentioning, the cable is a small diameter to save on weight. really it's more for the look of it. the way I figure it: if somebody's carrying around a tool to be cutting cables, specifically with the idea of stealing a bike, then they're going to carry one able to cut a big cable anyway, so why carry a big cable around? in terms of locks if they know how to pick a lock then based on LPL they can get through it under 5 minutes realistically my best bet would be to have one with a cylinder type key since that would require a special tool to get past but as pointed out most people would probably go for the Brute Force method and not worry about picking

Once it actually started to alarm, not one single person turned around to take a look. If you're a tea leaf with a battery powered angle grinder, you're not going to be put off by that.

#GMBNTech So impressed with this lock that it's the first one I'd consider using. I don't ever lock my bike up to a rack in public. But I always have my bikes locked to my truck while slung over a tail gate mat. This would be the perfect tool to ensure my bikes stay with my truck while getting lunch or running errands before/after my ride.

I still use the good old fashioned ones

This reminds me of cars with push button starts, easier to bypass computer security systems than a physical key. However, if the lock was key operated but had a phone sim built in to the lock and then alerted you via text that it is being attacked/moved that would be interesting. 🤔😏 If I’m inside a work these Bluetooth locks or alarms are a bit useless. A text sent to me from the lock would be better, so I could go out and stop the thief.

HOWEVER if the lock only takes somebody a minute to pick, they'd be half done by the time the first warning sounded, and by the time I get to the ground floor, they'd be gone with my bike, and the lock would just be laying there on the ground with the alarm going off

I've got a smart "U-lock" by Noke and I am so pleased. It's just a shame that the public has not seen the advantages of these locks and allowed the companies to sustain such wonderful products. It would be great if you did a review of the different types and brands of smart-locks out there.

Is it grinder resistant/slowing? Without that they'll be through the lock and away before the alarm goes off. It's worth a street test against the new hiplock

I am , using 6500 it’s very impressive and very high secure but some negative things like it’s very heavy and the second one is more better like GPS system not just alarm , the alarm take 30 seconds. This is a lot of time.

Hiw to proceed to get the same key for 3 4 locks. Thanks

Quick question. If a theft tries to break the lock, will the App notify me even though I'm outside the Bluetooth range? Thanks

that feature might be better if the alarm portion was locked to the frame separately so that they'd have to listen to it even after they took the bike. Although people in most cities are so used to people setting off alarms by accident that nobody pays attention to it anymore. in fact it's so common that birds mimic the car alarms... kind of sad really

I noticed that no body looked around when it went off no doubt due to the high number of car alarms that go off daily for seemingly no reason however if it makes the thief doubt he’s going to be successful it’s done it’s job and they still have to get the thing off

Battery saw would work, right? The lock would barely move. I’d have to see a demonstration

The lady in the background didn't even look. 🤣

When they gave cars immobilisers all that happened is they switched to car jacking/lifting the keys. If you lock up your 7k bike with an unbreakable lock expect to be mugged the moment you unlock the bike, you being far more squishy than the lock.. IMO the best bike lock for an emtb has yet to be made. It needs to follow the mobile phone bricking method rendering it worthless to thieves, it worked for car radio's/GPS/mobiles. Clearly anything that's valuable/electric and mobile need such a thing and it's negligent of the manufacturers not to consider it. How about a segment on bike theft, I heard in France its now compulsory to register ownership of a bike in a central data base. What about what happened in Richmond park (my local park) with the scooter gangs robbing cyclists with machetes?

I would rather the lock notify me on my phone in order that I can confront the thief. People are so used to alarms they pay them no attention.

so i see a lot of bashing on this in the comments but no sensible alternative comments? Does anyone want to put up some alternative options?

No pedestrian would turn its head nowadays when an alarm goes off, I’m afraid. Why the Smartlock wouldn’t trigger instead an alarm in(!) your smartphone if the lock is touched? At least you would know that you have 2-3 minutes to reach your bike and kick the thief’s ass… THAT would be effective!

If a thief takes a grinder with him to steal your bike and the lock stops him, I’d be surprised if your bike frame hasn’t been cut out of malice before he leaves. Gold locks are great, I have them but it’s all about deterrent so a £50 lock is as good as a £250 lock in that respect because your bike will be totalled if the thief is unable to steal it, just make it enough a deterrent so he looks for another bike that’s not yours! The money you save on the £250 locks, pay insurance as that’ll replace the bike with new should the worse happen and it is stolen.

Nice paid advertisement… if you really want an angle grinder proof lock, choose a LITELOK x1 or x3. Bennett’s Motorcycle insurance say it’s the toughest lock they have ever tried to break!

Typically alarm no one batted an eyelid. Make it a baby crying then ppl would notice
