Product Details

Overview & Technology

Abus CityChain Plus 1010K combines hardened steel construction and proven cylinder technology to protect bikes in urban environments. The 9mm manganese steel links are heat-treated for cut and leverage resistance, while a tough textile sleeve protects paintwork and reduces noise when carrying or leaning your bike. The lock uses Abus' ABUS-Plus cylinder, designed to resist picking and drilling attacks. An automatic keyhole cover keeps grime and moisture out of the mechanism for reliable action in wet city weather. Two keys are supplied so you can keep a spare at home or on your person.

Key Features & Construction

The CityChain Plus 1010K is engineered with performance and daily use in mind. Each link is 9mm thick and forged from hardened steel for high cut resistance, and the textile sleeve is abrasion-resistant to protect your frame and finish. The chain is finished in a matte black sleeve to keep a low profile. Security and convenience features: • ABUS-Plus cylinder for increased protection against picking attacks. • Automatic keyhole cover prevents dirt, grit and water ingress. • Two keys included — one with replaceable LED key cap on some variants.

Fit, Lengths & Compatibility

The CityChain Plus 1010K comes in four internal lengths: 85cm (2.8'), 110cm (3.6'), 140cm (4.6') and 170cm (5.6'), letting you choose the right size to lock your frame and rear wheel to a range of posts, rails and fixed objects. The 9mm chain thickness strikes a balance between portability and high resistance to common theft tools. There is no mounting bracket included, so the chain is best carried in a pannier, backpack or strapped to a rack. It works with virtually any frame type and wheel size; choose length based on typical parking fixtures you encounter — 140cm is a versatile urban length for most commuters.

Who It's For

The CityChain Plus 1010K is ideal for commuters, city riders and students who want robust, reliable security without the bulk of a full U-lock and chain combo. It suits riders who regularly lock in public spaces where opportunistic theft is a risk and who value a lock that resists picking and cutting attempts. If you frequently lock your bike to large objects (railings, signposts, bicycle racks) or need to secure both frame and rear wheel with one device, the 1010K is a practical choice. Riders who require ultra-lightweight or frame-mounted locks may prefer lighter alternatives, but for deterrence and durability in the urban environment this Abus chain is a strong performer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What lengths are available and which should I choose?

The CityChain Plus 1010K is offered in 85cm, 110cm, 140cm and 170cm. Choose 85cm for minimal bulk and tight locking, 140cm as a versatile commuter option, and 170cm if you frequently need to loop around large posts or secure multiple bikes.

Does the chain come with a mounting bracket?

No — this model does not include a bracket. It's designed to be carried in a bag, pannier, or strapped to a rack. You can buy universal mounting brackets separately if frame storage is essential.

How resistant is the ABUS-Plus cylinder to picking?

The ABUS-Plus cylinder is a higher-security barrel that resists common picking and drilling techniques used by opportunistic thieves. While no lock is completely impervious to a determined, well-equipped thief, the cylinder significantly raises the bar for attack.

Will the textile sleeve damage my bike's paint?

No — the textile sleeve is abrasion-resistant and specifically designed to protect your frame from scratches and chips. Regular cleaning of the sleeve and the parts it contacts will keep both sleeve and frame in good condition.

Are replacement keys available if I lose them?

Yes. Abus supplies two keys with the lock, and replacement keys can be ordered through Abus or authorized dealers. For keyed locks without a unique key code, you may need to provide proof of ownership or the original key code to obtain replacements.

How heavy is the 140cm model?

Shipping weight for the product is about 5.9 lb (2.7 kg) for the packaged unit — expect the actual chain weight to be slightly less. Chains are heavier than cable locks but offer much greater cut resistance.

Buying Guide

When choosing a chain lock, balance security, weight and practicality. Look for hardened steel links (8–12mm for urban security), a proven cylinder like ABUS-Plus for pick resistance, and a protective sleeve to avoid frame damage. Select a length that lets you lock frame and rear wheel to common fixtures you use. Consider how you'll carry the lock — chains are heavier than U-locks but provide more reach. If you need frame mounting, check for compatible brackets or choose a portable storage solution. For high-risk areas, pair the chain with a secondary lock for added deterrence.
