At Litelok, our mission is simple: protect riders and their bikes with locks that combine strength, flexibility, and real-world reliability. A recent incident in West London, near Heathrow Airport, shows exactly how our products perform when it matters most.
On 4th November 2025, around 1:00 PM, Dave parked their Gen 3 MT-09 SP, valued at around £8,000, in a multi-storey car park. The bike was secured with a Litelok X1, an Abus 8077 disc lock, and an Easy block on the rear wheel.
That day, Dave received a call from one of the offices upstairs in work: a group of thieves were attempting to steal a bike in the car park. The would-be thieves focused on the Litelok X1 first, but despite their efforts, the lock held firm. Because of this, they were unable to progress to the other security devices or cause any serious damage.
“Had a call from one of the upstairs offices saying that bike thieves are trying to steal a bike but luckily didn't get through the X1 lock and thankfully they started on that 1st before trying to get the disk lock off by either cutting the disk or damaging the bike.”
This Success Story highlights the importance of investing in at least one angle grinder resistant lock.
LITELOK Bundles are a great option for those adopting a multi-layered locking strategy. We are seeing an increasing number of thieves targeting workplaces, as they observe the routines of those parking or securing their bikes, taking advantage of the fact that the rider will be away for some time.
