ABUS Frame Lock Granit 6950M NR

The ABUS GRANIT 6950M NR is a frame-mounted rear wheel lock for quick, everyday bike security. It sits over the rear wheel and locks it in place, making it much harder for someone to simply roll the bike away.

This is a higher-security frame lock than a basic wheel lock, with an ABUS XPlus cylinder, an 8.5 mm locking shackle and hardened steel used through the shackle, housing and key structural parts. It is well suited to city bikes, commuter e-bikes and cargo bikes where quick-stop convenience matters.

Why we like it

A frame lock makes a transport bike easier to live with. For a quick stop, you can lock the rear wheel in seconds without pulling a lock out of a bag or basket.

The GRANIT 6950M NR is a more serious version of that idea. The XPlus cylinder is built to resist picking and tampering, while the hardened steel construction gives better protection than a basic frame lock. The NR key setup is useful too, because the key can be removed when the lock is open.

The built-in accessory connection is the other big advantage. With a compatible plug-in chain, you can turn the frame lock into a more useful parking setup by securing the bike to a fixed object.

Best for

• City bikes and commuter bikes used for errands and everyday transport
• E-bikes where quick rear-wheel locking is useful during short stops
• Cargo bikes used for school runs, groceries and town riding
• Riders who want a lock that stays mounted on the bike
• Using with a compatible plug-in chain or second lock for better security

Compatibility and fit

This lock is designed to mount near the rear wheel using frame-lock mounting points. ABUS lists the mounting hole spacing as universally adjustable, but fit still depends on the bike frame, tyre width, mudguards, rack, child seat, kickstand and any cargo accessories.

Before ordering, check that there is enough space around the rear wheel for the lock to sit squarely over the tyre and mudguard. If the bike does not have dedicated frame-lock mounts, an adaptor may be needed.

No frame-lock mounts? Some bikes can still use a frame lock with an adaptor strap. The ABUS Clutching Strap LH Adaptor is made to help mount compatible wheel locks to bikes that do not have dedicated frame-lock mounts.

If you are unsure, send us a photo of the rear wheel area from both sides. We need to see the seatstays, tyre, mudguard, rack, any child seat or cargo accessories, and any mounting points near the rear wheel.

Good to know

A frame lock is very convenient, but it does not automatically secure the bike to a fixed object. For proper parking, especially with an e-bike, cargo bike or higher-value commuter, use it with a compatible plug-in chain, D-lock, folding lock or chain lock.

For quick stops, the 6950M NR is fast and easy. For longer parking, lock the frame to something fixed, choose a visible and well-lit spot, and use a stronger second lock where needed.

Final word

The ABUS GRANIT 6950M NR is a strong convenience lock for bikes used every day. Choose it if you want quick rear-wheel security built into the bike, with the option to add a plug-in chain for a more practical parking setup.
