Blemished. Still Beautiful.
At LITELOK, we take great pride in our unwavering dedication to deliver superior locks to the biking community. Simultaneously, we recognise the significance of environmental conservation and strive to minimise waste. As part of our sustainable practices, we are offering a limited supply of slightly blemished LITELOK X1 products at a reduced price.
Rest assured, these locks remain fully operational and possess the same level of security as our pristine locks. Plus, they are covered by the same warranty as all of our X1 products (except the cosmetic blemishes). The blemishes are purely cosmetic and will in now way compromise the efficacy of safeguarding your bike. By purchasing one of these discounted products, you not only benefit from their exceptional functionality but also contribute to our shared commitment to environmental preservation.
What the experts say

bikelockwiki.com"If you don’t fancy becoming another victim on the police bike theft database, there isn’t a better lock for you than the X1."

John Milbank, Bennetts"The Litelok X strikes a formidable balance between cost and performance. 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"

thebestbikelock.com"It’s definitely the most secure bike lock I’ve ever tested. It manages this without being excessively heavy, bulky, massively expensive or incredibly unpractical, is indeed a BIG DEAL!"

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."

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."

Josh Ross, Cycling News"Litelok doesn’t claim the X1 is angle grinder proof, and it’s not, but it takes two cuts to free a bike and a single cut will trash a grinder disc. That’s enough security for most bikes in most situations and it comes without tradeoffs in price and useability."

THE D-LOCK REIMAGINED
BIKES
E-BIKES
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. The reflective strips flash in headlights to keep you safe and so you can be seen to be secure.
EASY TO CARRY
LITELOK X1 is sold with an innovative Twist & Go mount that fits any bike style, firmly holding X1 in place on the bumpiest of roads while remaining quick to both affix and remove.
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 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.

SOLD SECURE 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.

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.

Made sense to purchase the BSB as the blemishes are only superficial and do not influence performance. Added advantage is that it looks used!!

Far too heavy, the name is misrepresented it should be called heavy lock!
LULITELOK UK6 days agoHi Stephen,
Thanks for the review. I'm sorry that you feel X1 is too heavy for you to comfortably use. The weight (1.7kg) is clearly communicated on the product page of our website, and we feel that this weight is quite standard for most high security d-locks. In fact, the best selling d-lock in the world weighs just over 2kg, so X1 is actually lighter, and much more secure than that. Once again, we're very sorry if you thought it would be much lighter.
Thanks again for the feedback.

Arc to small could be slightly longer and wider.
When locking pressure needs to be excerted on prongs to close in locking shackle.
