Great Piece of Kit
I got the LITELOK X1 to use on my latest trip towards the Pyrenees. It’s a great bit of kit, nice and lightweight, easy to pack and give real peace of mind that your bike is safe. Also I think with the name branded on it, thieves know what it is and tend to stay clear and go for more easier picking. Thanks to all the team at LITELOK.

LITELOK X1 Moto - much better than a disc lock
Upgraded my bike security from a disc lock to the LITELOK X1 Moto and it really is a great item. Easy to deploy - it fits perfectly through the wheel hub on my GS, and just gives me peace of mind - knowing that it will take something seriously heavy duty to get past the lock, and in most cases will send the would-be thief on to another target. Really like the storage pouch supplied too.

Genuinely "Lite" Security!
After buying the X3 and Core Moto I thought I would treat myself to the X1. It's a little smaller and more portable than the X3 but what suprised me was the weight, definitely more portable than the X3, very light and very good quality. Customer service has been excellent and best of all it's British. Bravo LITELOK!

What the experts say...
Tony Walters, Man Cave Moto
"This is by far the toughest lock we've ever tested. If you're looking for a lock that will keep your beloved bike safe, this is the one!"
John Milbank, Bennetts BikeSocial
"The Litelok X1 strikes a formidable balance between cost and performance. In all practical senses, this is going to stop a thief cutting through it in any kind of reasonable time, and they’ll most likely move onto something else."
Stuart Prestridge, Motorcycle News
"X1 Moto can resist an angle grinder attack far longer than its 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."

What Makes the World's Best Bike Lock?
LITELOK X1 is the only full-sized armoured D-lock on the market and contains a host of clever design features that make it easy to use and carry so you can keep your bike secure against the most determined bike thieves.
Lock Cylinder
X1 features a high-quality lock cylinder which is durable and pick-resistant. The keyhole is protected from dirt, dust and moisture with our innovative self-sealing silicone keyhole cover.
Reflective Strips
X1 locks are finished with Quartz White retro-reflective vinyl strips along the lock shackle and on the X's at each end. The reflective strips flash in headlights to keep you safe and seen.
Anti-Rotation
Unique anti-rotation feature protects against twisting attacks and single cuts
Bio Polymer
The natural finish soft plant-based eco-rubber outer layer won't damage your frame
Armed with Barronium®
Barronium® fused composite armour repels angle grinder attacks and eats angle grinder discs.
LITELOK X1
Tested to Destruction
Tested against the most d-locks on the market, LITELOK X1 is at least 5 times more resistant to angle grinder cuts. Additionally, X1 requires multiple discs to cut and due to its anti-rotation system, needs to be cut on both sides to remove.
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.

LITELOK X1
Frequently Asked Questions
Can X1 be cut with an angle grinder?
Unfortunately, all locks can be cut with the right tools and enough time. The exact time it takes depends on a number of factors like the power of the angle grinder, the type of discs used and the skill of the user. During our own and independent tests we found that X1 is at least 5 times more angle grinder resistant than the current leading D-lock as well as needing multiple discs to cut it.
How much does LITELOK X1 weigh?
LITELOK X1 weighs approximately 1.7kgs or 3.7lbs.
What's the difference between X1 Bike and X1 Moto?
There is no difference between the Bike and Moto versions. They are exactly the same locks. The reason why we differentiate them is to show how X1 can be used as an effective security device for all types of bicycles and motorcycles.
What's the difference between X1 and X3?
LITELOK X1 and X3 are both highly resistant to angle grinder cuts. This resistance comes from the layers of Barronium® that each lock features. X3 uses a higher amount of Barronium® meaning it has a higher resistance to angle grinder cuts than X1. X1 has at least 5 times the resistance to angle grinder cuts compared to the best selling d-locks whereas X3 has at least 20 times the resistance.
What is the locking circumference of LITELOK X1?
LITELOK X1 has a full-sized locking circumference of approximately 101 x 196mm meaning you can lock more bikes in more places than other armoured u-locks.
Has LITELOK X1 been independently tested?
Yes, it has been thoroughly tested by Sold Secure and both locks achieve Sold Secure Powered Cycle and Bicycle Diamond levels (the highest ratings available).
(Note: Sold Secure is owned and administered by the Master Locksmiths Association (a not-for-profit trade association) and works from purpose built laboratories in the UK.
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 from?
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.

Checked a lot of online reviews and the Litelok X1 was consistently a top performer balancing strength with price. Was slightly concerned that my electric bike, Mirider 20, would be too big for this D lock but have found a number of ways to secure the bike with this style lock. Looking forward to cycling without the worry of losing my new bike to any but a very determined thief with multiple discs for an angle grinder!

I'm a recovering ABUS u-lock owner. After my Granite 540 Lock was cut like soft butter by a battery-powered angle grinder, I decide to splurge and invest in a light lock. X1 very solid product.! Like other uses. However, I've noticed that the cylinder lock mechanism can be a little finicky, where the key does not fit all the way into the cylinder without some jiggling. I'm hoping this will get easier over time. Nonetheless, I feel much more confident leaving my bike in high security situations without the fear that it will be easily cut with a battery powered angle grinder.

I recently purchased this new lock after a bizarre incident where my Arbus lock disappeared entirely, yet the bike was retrieved was a flat tyre but otherwise unharmed.
I am reassured by its anti angle-grinder qualities. It feels reassuring solid and robust and so far I have locked my bike with it at Cambridge railway station (notorious for bike theft) was considerably more peace of mind than in the past. I love the addition of reflectors on the lock- looks super smart. The mounting system has taken a little getting used to, but is getting more efficient as I get used to it. The advantage from my old Arbus is that it mounts in a way that does not get in the way of my pannier bag on both sides of the bike.
The Litelok is more expensive than my previous locks, but I think it’s worth it for the robustness and peace of mind.

I had been looking at reviews of Litelock for sometime, being really interested but also cautious. I’m visited a local bikefest event last month stumbled across the Litelock stand and Neil the CEO. He was doing a demonstration to a crowd that formed around the stand and took time to talk to people who had questions. I then had a discussion with him, and he took time out of his day to come with me to try the locks out on my own bike. This passion and dedication to the product sold me on buying one of the locks. I think it’s a fabulous security device, and I’m now looking to buy another to go it. It’s amazing to see how you can package innovation with everyday practical need.
