LITELOK X1 PLUS Saves BMW 1300 GS in Bristol #123

On March 28th at 4pm in Bristol, Richard’s BMW 1300 GS, a motorcycle worth £23,000, became the target of an attempted theft. What followed is a clear example of how the right security can make all the difference.

The thieves came equipped with large bolt croppers, a common tool used in motorcycle theft. Their plan was simple: cut through the lock and take the bike.

But things didn’t go as expected.

“Thieves tried to steal my bike with large bolt croppers, it only penetrated the plastic and not the metal”

Despite their efforts, they failed to breach the lock. The only damage caused was to the outer layer, a dent in the soft rubber, leaving the core completely intact.

This outcome is no accident.

The LITELOK X1 PLUS is constructed with a hardened, fine-grain high-tensile steel core, permanently fused with an outer layer designed to absorb impact. This combination provides serious resistance against common tools like bolt croppers.

While the outer layer took the hit, the core remained untouched, preventing any real progress.

The X range is also well known for its high resistance to angle grinder attacks, offering protection even against more aggressive methods.

These ratings reflect its ability to withstand the toughest, real-world theft attempts.

In this case, the thieves didn’t get the chance to continue. Based on the attempted damage, and the tools used it’s clear the result would have been the same.
