Product Information

Full details

The Abus Ultimate 420K D Lock is designed for urban cyclists who prioritize high-level security for their bicycles in high-theft areas. Featuring a 14mm hardened steel shackle, this lock provides robust protection against forced entry attempts, making it a reliable Sold Secure Gold-rated choice for commuters. While it offers industry-leading security, its 1120g weight means it is slightly heavier than entry-level cable or chain locks, requiring the use of the included frame mount for easier transport.

FAQs

What does the Sold Secure Gold rating mean?

It means the lock has passed rigorous independent testing specifically designed to simulate professional-grade theft attempts.

Can I mount the USH bracket on any bike?

The USH bracket is designed for standard round frame tubes. It may not fit frames with unconventional, oversized, or aero-shaped tubing.

Does this lock come with spare keys?

Yes, Abus typically includes two keys with the lock. We recommend registering your key code with Abus for potential replacements.

Is this lock rust-proof?

While highly corrosion-resistant due to its specialized materials, it is not 100% rust-proof. Occasional maintenance with lubricant is recommended.

How much does the lock weigh?

The Abus Ultimate 420K weighs 1120 grams.

Is the shackle wide enough for thicker lamp posts?

With a 78mm inner width, it is sufficient for most standard bike racks and thin poles, but may struggle with very thick city infrastructure.

Troubleshooting

Key is difficult to insert or turn

Apply a small amount of dedicated lock lubricant into the cylinder and insert the key several times to distribute the grease.

Mounting bracket rattles during rides

Re-check the mounting screws on the USH holder to ensure they are fully tightened against the frame tubing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High security Sold Secure Gold rating
  • Heavy-duty 14mm hardened steel construction
  • Rattle-free USH frame mount included
  • Effective resistance against picking and drilling
  • Ergonomic ribbed design for better handling

Cons

  • Weight of 1120g is noticeable on longer rides
  • Fixed D-lock shape offers less flexibility than chains
  • 140mm height may be tight for thicker bike frame tubes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the USH holder, locate a suitable position on your bike frame where it does not interfere with your pedaling or brake cables. Tighten the mounting bolts securely using the included instructions. When locking, ensure that you are attaching the bike to a permanent, immobile object. To maintain the lock's longevity, occasionally spray the lock cylinder with a high-quality lubricant to prevent internal corrosion and ensure the key turns smoothly, especially if you store your bike outdoors during winter months.
