Our verdict	Relative value proposition attractive despite not being the absolute top performer.	Strongest U-lock against angle grinders, low weight and excellent value.	Performance in the YouTube test demonstrates effectiveness against common attack methods.	Consistently receives positive mentions and boasts a high-security rating, making it a top choice among users concerned about theft.	Solid choice with good reputation, favorably appearing in testing and user recommendations.	The Abus Granit Super Extreme 2500 fails to deliver on its high-end claim, offering vulnerability to cutting tools and lacking long-term reliability, which makes it a poor value proposition.	YouTube testing highlights robust security features and resistance to force.	Recognizable brand with decent protection, though not as highly praised as some competitors.	The X3 offers a higher security rating than the X1 while maintaining a lightweight design. Its proven resistance to angle grinders and solid warranty give owners confidence in its long-term performance.	This U-lock is praised for its high security rating and robust construction. While heavier, it provides reliable protection that holds up over many years of use, making it a solid pick for high-risk areas.	Performance doesn’t justify the price for many users.	The OnGuard 8020 Mastiff offers lower security due to a thinner shackle and higher failure rates, making it an inferior choice compared to newer models.	Community discourages relying on this lock type due to inadequate protection.	The DXF is praised for its best-value status, offering strong security at a lower price point. Its durable shackle and long warranty give owners confidence that the lock will hold up over many years of use.	This lock is highlighted for its heavy-duty steel shackle and excellent resistance to cutting tools. Its long warranty and proven durability make it a dependable choice for riders who need maximum protection without excessive weight.
