A brake disc lock that can be conveniently operated without a traditional key, automatically remembers before setting off, records the last location, sounds an alarm if theft is attempted and also offers the highest level of security - until recently, this was one of the unrealizable wishes of motorcyclists. With the combination of proven, mechanical and innovative digital components, ABUS achieves this with the GRANIT ^TM Detecto 8078 SmartX - a step into the smart future of mobile security technology.

SmartX cylinder is the key – without a key

The key element is the new SmartX cylinder. It is the first electronically controlled, keyless locking cylinder in the ABUS range. The lock is operated easily and conveniently using a smartphone via a Bluetooth connection. The user only needs to connect their lock once using the ABUS app for iOS or Android devices and can then use it via a secure, encrypted connection. And the “hands-free” – that means: as soon as the driver approaches the lock with his smartphone, the connection is activated and he can open or close the GRANIT TM ^Detecto 8078 SmartX without having to pick up the smartphone. An invaluable advantage, especially with gloves.

High security and easy handling

During development, special attention was paid to comfortable use and handling is correspondingly easy: by lightly pressing the locking bolt, it automatically extends and the lock is ready for use. As soon as the lock with the 13.5 mm thick bolt is attached to the brake disc and the locking bolt is pushed against the brake disc, the cylinder locks the lock and the electronic position sensor “3D Position Detection” is activated. Now any vibration or change in position of the bike triggers a 100 dB alarm. The intelligent technology takes into account the movements that occur due to short, one-off vibrations and prevents early false alarms.

The positive side effect: Any biker who forgets to remove the lock from the brake disc before driving off will be warned in good time by the alarm of negligent damage.

To unlock the lock before driving, all you need to do is approach the lock with your smartphone. Authorization to open takes place via a secure Bluetooth 5.0 connection. Then you just have to briefly press the lock body towards the brake disc with a slight movement and the locking bolt releases the brake disc.

App as a command center

Not only is the Bluetooth signal controlled via the ABUS app. It is the castle's information center. The app shows the current charge level of the battery in real time and, if the status is low, uses the push function to request that the lock be charged in a timely manner. Charging takes place via a standardized USB-C port. The app also saves the location of the motorcycle secured with the GRANIT ^TM Detecto 8078 SmartX, making orientation easier.

Regardless of the app, the battery and activity status can be read directly on the lock via the multi-color LED.

The GRANIT™ Detecto 8078 SmartX is now available in four colors: blue, yellow, red and gray. The RRP is 249.95 euros.
