For the price it’s okay, but there are better shackle locks available

The Varedo is Abus’s mid-range shackle, meeting Sold Secure’s Silver rating. It has a double-lock mechanism and parabolic shackle shape which helps resist twisting.

For the first test, the Varedo resisted bolt cropping for 30 seconds, at which point we realised it was a futile method.

Out with our trusty extending lever bar, and the Varedo twisted a little and then snapped in just 3.61 seconds. This did some damage to our dummy frame but we’d broken though and got our prize.

Product "33956" does not exist or you do not have permission to access it.
