What is the Abus key lock called on the 2022 Trek Rail 9?

My bike is a trek Rail 9 2022.

What is the name of the Abus key lock.

On the 2022 Trek Rail 9, the integrated battery lock is an ABUS Plus cylinder — specifically the ABUS Plus 8000 system that Trek (and Bosch, via the PowerTube interface) use across the Rail range. Each lock has a unique key code stamped on the key itself (and on a small card that should have come with the bike).

A few practical points the community has hammered out:

• Photograph the key code and back it up somewhere safe. As @irie has pointed out repeatedly, if you lose the key you can order a replacement through an authorised dealer with the code and proof of ownership — they contact ABUS to cut a new one. Without the code it's a much bigger job.

• If your lock rattles on rough ground (a known Rail trait, though more associated with Gen 5), swapping the cylinder doesn't always cure it — the internal mechanism is identical. Some riders just delete the lock entirely and bolt the battery in, only refitting it for dealer diagnostics.

• Replacement cylinders are available directly from ABUS and via Trek dealers. If you want to match an existing key (e.g. to key-alike a frame lock or chain lock), quote the Plus code when ordering.

The keys themselves are the reversible dimple-style ABUS Plus blanks — quite distinctive, hard to copy at a normal key cutter, which is rather the point.

Anything else you want to dig into — rattle fix, key replacement process, or deleting the lock?
