Ultimate City Mini Bundle - X3 and X1 MINI

Unfortunately, all locks can be cut with the right tools and enough time. The time required depends on factors such as the power of the angle grinder, the cutting discs used, and the skill of the user.

During our own testing and independent testing, we found that LITELOK X1 MINI is at least 5 times more resistant, and LITELOK X3 is at least 20 times more resistant to angle-grinder attacks than current leading D‑locks. The X3 also requires multiple cutting discs and batteries to make a successful cut. This significantly increases the time, effort, and noise involved, acting as a strong deterrent in higher‑risk environments.

Both locks use patented Barronium® armour and are designed to resist modern theft methods, but they are built for very different security demands.

• LITELOK X1 MINI is compact and lighter, making it ideal for tight locking spaces, wheel locking, or use as a high‑security secondary lock where portability is a priority.
  
• LITELOK X3 is LITELOK’s flagship lock, engineered for maximum resistance in high‑risk environments. In addition to enhanced Barronium® armour and a thicker overall profile, the X3 features an ABLOY® SENTRY lock cylinder — one of the most pick‑resistant mechanical lock cylinders available. This significantly increases resistance against sophisticated picking and manipulation attacks, not just cutting attacks.

This bundle is designed to provide layered, adaptable security.

Use the X3 as your primary lock to secure the frame to fixed objects in higher‑risk locations, while the X1 MINI adds compact secondary security for wheels or additional locking points. Together, they allow you to double-lock your bike and adapt to a wide range of real‑world parking scenarios.

• LITELOK X1 MINI has a compact internal locking space of approximately 99.5 × 137 mm, making it well suited to wheel locking, smaller frames, and situations where space is limited.
  
• LITELOK X3 has a full‑sized internal locking space of approximately 99 × 195 mm, providing greater versatility for securing larger frames, thicker street furniture, and more demanding urban locking points.
  

The difference in internal size reflects their intended roles: the X1 MINI prioritises compact portability and secondary security, while the X3 offers a larger locking aperture for maximum flexibility in higher‑risk environments.

Yes. Both the LITELOK X1 MINI and LITELOK X3 can be mounted to your bike, but each uses a model‑specific Tactical Mount designed for its size and weight.

• LITELOK X1 MINI uses the X1 MINI Tactical Mount (sold separately), which is specifically sized for the Mini’s more compact profile. Many riders also choose to carry the X1 MINI in a bag, or use alternative solutions such as the Restrap Holster, depending on their setup.
  
• LITELOK X3 is compatible with the X3 Tactical Mount (sold separately). This heavy‑duty mount is purpose-built for LITELOK’s flagship lock and holds the X3 securely on the frame, even over rough terrain.
  
  Please note that Tactical Mounts are model‑specific — the X3 Tactical Mount is not interchangeable with the X1 MINI Tactical Mount. All mounts and carrying accessories are sold separately unless otherwise stated.
  
  
  

Yes. This bundle is specifically designed for urban and higher‑risk locking environments.

• LITELOK X3, our flagship lock, delivers maximum deterrence where theft risk is highest, combining patented Barronium® armour with a thickened construction and an ABLOY® SENTRY lock cylinder that provides exceptional resistance to picking and manipulation attacks.
• LITELOK X1 MINI adds compact, angle-grinder‑resistant secondary security for wheels or additional locking points.

Both locks are independently tested and certified Sold Secure Bicycle Diamond and Powered Cycle Diamond, as well as ART4, making this bundle suitable for bikes, e-bikes, and motorcycles in urban environments where a strong visual and physical deterrent is essential.

Yes. Both the LITELOK X1 MINI and LITELOK X3 have been independently tested and certified by recognised security testing bodies, including Sold Secure and ART.

• Both locks achieve Sold Secure Bicycle Diamond and Powered Cycle Diamond, the highest levels available under the Sold Secure rating system.
• Both are also certified ART4, demonstrating resistance against sustained, professional‑grade attack methods.

Sold Secure testing is owned and administered by the Master Locksmiths Association, with evaluation carried out in purpose-built laboratories in the UK. These certifications confirm that both locks meet stringent standards for real‑world security performance in high‑risk environments.

The LITELOK X‑range is built with Barronium®, a patented anti-angle-grinder composite material that is permanently fused as armour to provide exceptional cut resistance. The Barronium® layer is specifically engineered to repel and degrade angle-grinder cutting discs, significantly slowing modern theft attacks.

The X‑range uses a three-layer construction:

• A fine-grain, hardened high‑tensile steel core, providing strength against twisting, leverage, and multiple tool attacks
• Patented Barronium® composite armour, permanently fused to the steel core to resist angle-grinder cutting discs
• A plant‑based eco-rubber outer layer, soft to the touch to help protect your bike frame from damage

Both the X1 MINI and X3 use this proven construction, but the LITELOK X3 incorporates additional Barronium® material, a thicker overall profile, and structural reinforcement, making it LITELOK’s most secure and most resistant lock in the range.

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.

There is no physical or technical difference between the Bike and Moto versions of LITELOK X‑range locks — including the X1 MINI and X3. They are exactly the same locks, using the same materials, construction, and security technologies.

The Bike and Moto naming is used solely to help riders understand how a lock can be applied across different use cases, such as bicycles, e-bikes and motorcycles. The lock itself remains unchanged, only the intended application.

Warranty is applied individually to each lock included in the bundle:

• LITELOK X1 MINI is covered by a 3‑year warranty
• LITELOK X3 is covered by a 7‑year warranty

Both warranties cover mechanical or operational faults arising from normal use. Cosmetic wear and tear is not covered. We recommend registering your locks and keys so replacement keys can be ordered if required.
