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.

It's worth every penny and with so many professional bike thieves around these days these locks are more than a deterrent.

After watching the Bennetts video for litelock, and the fact that it was far cheaper than the hiplock, I decided to order. I am glad I did! The lock comes in a very convenient padded bag for storage. Looks imposing when on the bike. I am seriously considering getting a second one and doing away with my chain, but that’s a big move.

Great service, good quality, but ultimately a bicycle lock. For a scooter I'd like a heavier version, slightly thicker bar and a lock beefed up against drilling.

It’s hard to rate a lock properly until someone tries to break it, but with the X1 Moto, I don’t fancy their chances.
Not too heavy and not at all abrasive. I’m pleased with my choice.
