I'm doing my best to find comparative reviews using an Evo Mini as a benchmark. It's not easy.
An Evo Mini can be broken with just a lever as best I can work out by looking at the user submitted pictures on Amazon. It is also thin enough to be bolt cropped (probably). And AFAIK, you only have to cut 1 side and then rotate it rather than cutting both sides. All in all, the Evo Mini is not good enough as a primary lock as it can be broken with hand tools.
By that standard, is there anything to show how the Futura 64 falls short? The road.cc review showed it can't be bolt cropped that easily at least... http://road.cc/content/review/34832-abus-granit-futura-mini-u-lock. Saying it was not broken in 5 minutes with "the big bolt cutters" and "with the help of a 2 ton bottle jack". If it was tough enough to resist all hand tool attacks, it would be for the "Locks that work" thread ;).
