We’ve written about ABUS’ full size Bordo lock before. It’s a beefy lock intended for anyone storing their bike outdoors in risky environments. It’s built like it, too. It’s beefy – way too heavy for a pants or jersey pocket, and adding significant weight to a backpack. As such, it’s not for everyone. For those of us who just need to lock up while running into the coffee shop, there’s the new Bordo Lite.
The Bordo Lite is an entirely new kind of bike lock, offering light-weight flexibility in a compact design. The Bordo Lite is constructed with 5mm thick, light materials and ferrous alloy connected with special rivets. It features a premium cylinder for high protection against picking, and an extra-soft coating to prevent damage to your bike.
Designed with a high level of security, and tipping the scale at under a pound, this lock won’t weigh you down on the next weekend hammer fest, a day on the trails or weekend bike camping trip.  The compact size easily fits into a jersey pocket or hydration pack and is perfect for mid-ride coffee or post-ride adult beverage stops.
Features:
- Snap closure means the key doesn’t need to be inserted to close the lock.
- Link construction allows compact folding
- Silicon cover for the lock body with ‘soft touch’ properties
- Level 7 Security (on scale of 1-15)
- Compact size. Â Available in two lengths, 60cm and 85cm.
- 60cm length – $59.99; 85cm length – $69.99
