Being a level five classification, I can't see it being that hard of a pick. But, I'm with skold, I've never had any experience with the Inox range.
It looks like this?

Almost every Abus lock I've met, except the really small ones, have spool pins in all but the front position. Funnily enough the german Abus site calls them mushroom pins but I've only ever seen spools, so I guess that's poetic license.
To test if your lock is the same, apply enough tension to just bind a pin and push the front pin up gently. In almost every lock I've met, the cylinder will now turn slightly, engaging all the spool pins in their trapped position.
If this works you will know what's in the lock. If not... dunno!

I open it in a few second but his brother the 65/45 is harder to open.

It is because it owns spools in all positions.

Well, like I say, Skold, it is spools in all positions except one (the front one) on the 65/45.

I have an ABUS 85/40, and it is a 5-spool pin cylinder. I pick it under 10 seconds, because I know the combo of course, but at first, this lock was quite hard to pick open.

OK. Serious question then. Without using a key or a pick, just something slightly inside the keyway; can you turn the plug a few degrees each way? If not, can you suggest what is preventing this?

What are you smoking skold? The 65 range has four spools, one in every chamber but the first. What's so freakin' different about yours, huh!? WHY ARE YOU SO FREAKIN' SPECIAL!!??

Some things may be pick proof, but everything can be bypassed....
