The ABUS IVEN Chain 8210 is a chain lock with an 8 mm thick square chain. Motorcycle riders looking for a lighter (it still weighs a few kilograms), more compact security solution for situations with average theft risk will get a long way with this.
Think especially of short-term parking in a busy area, or as extra security alongside a heavier main lock. Relying solely on the ABUS IVEN Chain 8210 might be a bit too optimistic, although any lock still has a deterrent effect. With a security level of 10 out of 20, ABUS positions this lock in the mid‑range.
The chain and lock body are made from specially hardened steel. The high‑quality Meshwebbing chain cover protects your motorcycle from paint damage during locking. The material on the lock itself prevents scratches where the lock comes into contact with your motorcycle.
The chain gives you enough length for most fixed objects, although this remains a compact lock. You can easily carry it by wrapping the chain around the passenger handles.
In 2022, the IVEN Chain 8210 won the ANWB lock test in the ART 2 locks category. That says something about its reliability in this segment, although it remains a lock for medium-high theft risk. For longer parking in higher‑risk areas, choose a heavier chain lock like the ABUS 1190 X‑Plus.
