Turbo Como 5.0 IGH 2023

Lookiing for an updated recommendation for ABUS Shield frame lock for my 2023 Turbo Como
Hi - my retailer fitted the Abus 4750XL Pro Amparo NR. This size fits a wider wheel and it can also be used with a lock adaptor chain which is sold separately. It may be possible to fit the slightly small L size ( I have seen someone here mention it). The key is removable (I believe some have a non-removable key when unlocked)

Late to the party but wondering if you ever got an ABUS lock for your Como.
I installed a 4750 XL on my wife's 2022 Como. I also bought an ABUS 5850/5650/4960 Cable 12/100, Black, 100 cm. I bought both on Amazon. The package arrived and one of the keys was bent. ABUS mailed me a set of replacement keys directly.
When installing it, the frame bosses severely cracked the plastic case on the back the Abus lock. I repaired it with epoxy and reinstalled it but used small fender washers to distribute the pressure so it would not crack again.
I was able to mount the lock using the highest screw slots.

compatibility guide here : Specialized Bicycle Components

it states :
FRAME LOCKS (mounted to seat stays)

Requirements:

  • Lock must be wide enough to clear fender/tire; fender width: 65 mm
  • Lock mount tabs need to be compatible with frame tab spacing
  • Seat stay tab distance for frame locks (center-center)
  • Tip for many Abus locks: combine them with the matching adaptor chain that connects to the frame lock; allows securing the bike to a pole, fence etc.
I had no problem fitting the Pro Amparo 4750XL
If the case cracked I think you tightened the screws too strongly, it's not really necessary to overtighten it, it doesn't improve security
 
I ended up installing the ABUS 4750X Pro Amparo. It was recommended by 365 Cycles. It is a slightly smaller package than the XL. I also bought the adaptor chain.
 
The non xl still fits ? ´Cause the screws are already on the far edge on the xl when mounting it.
Pics please !
 
Here are more details & pics

It looks like only the inner section is different on the XL (to allow more wheel clearance)

I think, maybe, you are suppose to attach the abus directly to the frame mounts and then snap the plastic casings on over the install?
