ABUS 37107 Cobra 10/140 – The Ultimate Steel Loop Cable
The ABUS 37107 Cobra 10/140 is a premium steel loop cable designed for cyclists, motorbike owners, and anyone who needs reliable protection for their valuable accessories. With a robust 10 mm diameter and a generous 140‑centimeter length, this cable offers unparalleled flexibility while maintaining maximum security.
Key Features
- Diameter: 10 mm – the industry standard for high‑strength steel cables, providing excellent resistance to cutting and sawing attacks.
- Length: 140 cm (1.4 m) – long enough to loop around a bike frame or motorcycle engine block while still being compact for storage.
- Material: Stainless steel with a protective polymer coating that shields against corrosion, weather, and accidental scratches.
- Locking Mechanism: ABUS Cobra lock – a heavy‑duty key lock featuring a hardened steel shackle and an anti‑pick design. The lock is compatible with the cable’s diameter for a seamless fit.
- Color: Classic black, blending discreetly with any bike or motorcycle aesthetic.
- Weight: Approximately 1.2 kg, lightweight enough to carry on rides yet substantial enough to deter theft.
Design and Construction
The cable’s construction follows ABUS’s rigorous safety standards. Each strand is forged from high‑grade steel, then heat‑treated to achieve a tensile strength of over 1,200 MPa. The polymer coating is applied through an advanced extrusion process that ensures uniform thickness and prevents water ingress.
At both ends, the cable features reinforced termination points where the lock attaches. These terminations are engineered to distribute load evenly across the steel strands, minimizing stress concentrations that could lead to failure.
Applications
- Bicycle Security: Loop around the frame and secure the lock to a fixed object such as a bike rack or pole. The cable’s length allows for multiple loops, increasing the area covered by the lock.
- Motorcycle Engine Protection: Secure the engine block or other critical components against tampering or removal. The 140‑cm length is ideal for covering the entire engine bay without excessive slack.
- Accessory Safeguarding: Protect helmets, saddlebags, GPS units, and other accessories by wrapping them in the cable before locking.
- Portable Locking Solutions: Ideal for travelers who need a lightweight yet robust lock that can be easily carried in a backpack or glove compartment.
Installation Guide
Identify the point of attachment on your bike or motorcycle. Common choices include frame tubes, chain stays, or engine mounts.
Wrap the cable around the chosen point, ensuring that it is snug but not overly tight to avoid damaging the surface.
Thread the lock shackle through the looped cable and secure it with the key. Verify that the lock engages fully before proceeding.
For added security, consider using a secondary lock or a chain in combination with the Cobra cable to create a multi‑layer defense system.
Maintenance Tips
- Regular Inspection: Check for signs of wear, corrosion, or deformation. Replace the cable if any damage is observed.
- Cleansing: Wipe the cable with a dry cloth after exposure to rain or salt spray. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the polymer coating.
- Storage: When not in use, coil the cable loosely and store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its integrity.
