Stuart Prestidge, Motorcycle News"X1 Moto can resist an angle grinder attack far longer than its leading competitors. It can also resist other commonly used tools such as bolt croppers, cable cutters, long bars, hammers and chisels."

Rob Clymo, T3"A quality lock such as this one is a huge hurdle for cycle thieves and could well put them off having a go altogether. In that respect, the LiteLok X1 seems like a bit of a bargain, especially if your ride has cost you thousands to buy in the first place."

Warren Rossiter, Bike Radar"...armoured with a composite material called Barronium, resisted the attack of our angle grinder for more than 17 minutes. That’s almost three times longer than the previous toughest lock we’ve tested."

Armoured D-Lock for Motorcycles & Scooters
THE D-LOCK REIMAGINED
SECURE
Barronium®, our new composite anti-grinder armour, is fused to a hardened fine-grain high-tensile steel core to provide protection against multiple tools attacks, including angle-grinders, bolt croppers, cable cutters, long bars, hammers, chisels and more.
REFLECTIVE
X1 locks are finished with Quartz White retro-reflective vinyl strips along the lock shackle and on the X's at each end. These offer increased visibility of the lock to deter thieves and remind you it’s fitted. X protects the spot.
LIGHT & EASY TO CARRY
LITELOK X1 weighs just 1.7kg, far lighter than any motorcycle chain yet still offers Diamond level protection & angle grinder resistance. It’s also easily stored in your backpack or panniers when not in use and also comes with a premium neoprene LITELOK X-Pouch.
ECO-FRIENDLY
The plant-based eco-rubber outer layer is sourced from 80% non-food grade crops, which dramatically reduces the amount of petrochemical plastic required in the manufacturing of our locks. Due to the nature of these materials, any waste generated during production can be recycled and re-used in our solar powered manufacturing facility in South Wales.
LITELOK X1
ANGLE GRINDER RESISTANT MOTORCYCLE D-LOCK
If you don't own an armoured D-lock then your bike is not protected against angle-grinders, which is increasingly becoming the tool of choice for bike thieves.
LITELOK X1
SOLD SECURE MOTORCYCLE DIAMOND D-LOCK - INDEPENDENTLY TESTED
X1 has been accredited to Sold Secure Motorcycle Diamond, Bicycle Diamond and also meets the ‘Police Preferred Specification’ of Secured by Design (SBD) providing the best deterrent for cyclists and motorcyclists looking to secure bikes, e-bikes and motorcycles.
Litelok X1
BARRONIUM®
Barronium® is a fused composite armour that offers unparalleled angle grinder resistance without adding extra weight. It is a super hard ceramic composite material that repels angle grinder attacks and turns the grinder's energy and force in on itself. Continuous cutting wears down the grinder discs, batteries and ultimately the grinder motor itself.

Who invented Barronium™?
Our founder and CEO, Professor Neil Barron, supported by Innovate UK, worked closely with some of the world’s leading material scientists for over 5 years to develop Barronium™, our ground breaking angle grinder resistant technology.
What is LITELOK X1 made of?
LITELOK X1 is built with Barronium™, a patent-pending anti-angle grinder material that is applied as a permanently fused composite armour, providing maximum cut resistance and protection from angle grinder attacks. The Barronium™ layer repels angle grinder discs.
The X range comprises of three layers of protection:
1. A fine-grain, hardened high-tensile steel core providing inner strength against multiple tool attacks
2. Barronium™ anti-angle grinder armour, permanently fused to the core to repel angle grinder discs
3. A plant-based eco-rubber outer layer is soft to touch, so it won't damage your frame.
What is the warranty?
LITELOK X1 is sold with a 3 year warranty to provide peace of mind and covers mechanical or operational faults through normal usage. The warranty does not cover aesthetic wear and tear. It is important to register your lock and keys with us so that in the event that you lose your keys, replacements can be ordered.

Appears very well made, from what I've seen on-line it's pretty tough. It's portable and comes with a useful carry pouch.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because I think it could do with being a little longer. The only place I could fit it easily on my Royal Enfield classic 350 is around the front tyre and rim (which isn't a bad thing). The other slight negative is the price.
LULITELOK UK4 minutes agoHi Aidan,
Thanks for your feedback, it really helps us improve our products. We're glad to see that you're generally happy with your LITELOK X1 Moto.
There is nothing currently available on the market that is a similar price or less than X1 which has anywhere near the same security level, specifically against angle grinders. We really feel that X1 provides fantastic value for money.Thanks again for your feedback.

It looks solid, feels solid and has a wonderful smooth action on the lock when you turn the key.
Hopefully I won’t ever have to experience someone trying to break it to get to my motorbike.
I Had missed in when purchased that it came with a pouch for carrying so that was a bonus.
Had one issue about delivery, My fault i hadn’t noticed the dispatch time was so long but to be fair one comment on the FB page and they got straight back to me and delivery was brought forward as i was heading off on a trip and had bought the lock for security.
I aleady had a Litelok one Moto for a couple of years and will use that in conjunction with the X1 to help with peace of mind when parking my motorbike
Thanks Litelok for the X1 great product

Just barely fits onto front wheel/tire of 2019 Triumph T120. In fact, too tight to comfortably use. Altogether too small for rear wheel. Very well made. Buying experience was positive.

Purchased the Litelok X1 to keep my bike
secure when it’s at home on the front porch
and when I need to lock it in a public place.
It’s hefty and a good size to fit around many
different fixing points. Great to support
a business making quality items and understanding the need for superior
security to deter would be thieves.
