ABUS Catena 6806K/85

The chain bike lock made by ABUS falls into the mid-budget category of protective accessories. The model features a hardened steel chain with square-section links and a thickness of 6 mm. Its length reaches 85 cm, which in most cases allows for conveniently securing a 2-wheeled transport to various immovable objects in the urban environment. The ABUS 6806K/85 lock has a security rating of 6 out of 15, according to the brand's proprietary scale, indicating decent protection with a low likelihood of theft (for instance, during short-term parking near shops and cafes).

The manufacturer also recommends using the accessory with relatively inexpensive bicycles, including children's bikes. It is quite common for the metal chain to be covered with a textile sleeve, which not only protects the paintwork of the bike frame but also provides additional passive safety — it has reflective properties, making it highly visible at night. For transport, the model can be secured to the bike by wrapping it around the frame or seat post. Other features worth mentioning include a quality lock cylinder, moderate weight (920 grams), and a variety of color options available for purchase (from white or black to green, pink, etc.).
