ABUS IVEN Chain 8210/140 Bicycle Chain Lock Black
The ABUS IVEN Chain 8210/140 is a long keyed bicycle chain lock for securing a good-quality bicycle to a suitable fixed object. Its 140 cm length gives useful reach around a cycle frame, wheel and anchor point, while the Black IvyTex sleeve and soft-touch lock-body covering help reduce contact with painted surfaces.
ABUS rates the IVEN Chain 8210 at Security Level 10 out of 15 for medium theft risk. The current model record also carries a Sold Secure Pedal Cycle Silver rating. It is a substantial bicycle lock rather than a lightweight café lock, weighing 2.66 kg.

Choosing and using this lock
The 140 cm chain is designed to make it easier to secure a bicycle to a fixed object. Where the bicycle and anchor permit, route the chain through the frame and a wheel rather than locking a removable wheel alone. No portable lock can prevent every theft attempt, so choose a well-lit parking location and minimise accessible slack in the chain.
ABUS classifies the IVEN Chain 8210 as a bicycle lock for medium theft risk. Riders seeking security for a motorcycle should choose a dedicated motorcycle chain and lock matched to the bike, parking location and intended anchor point.
