What makes our Lightest Grinder Resistant Lock?
LITELOK X1 Mini is our lightest armoured D-lock and contains a host of clever design features that make it easy to use and carry so you can keep your bike secure against the most determined bike thieves.
Lock Cylinder
X1 Mini features a high-quality lock cylinder which is durable and pick-resistant. The keyhole is protected from dirt, dust and moisture with our innovative self-sealing silicone keyhole cover.
Reflective Strips
All X1 locks are finished with Quartz White or Arctic Camo 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 seen.
Anti-Rotation
All X1 locks possess a unique anti-rotation feature protects against twisting attacks and single cuts. This means that to remove an X1 Mini, a thief would need to cut it twice.
Easy to Carry
X1 Mini is compatible with our innovative X1 Mini Tactical Mount and our Restrap Lock Holster which means you can attach the lock to your frame with ease. Both mounts are sold separately.
Armoured with Barronium®
All of our X1 locks are built with Barronium® fused composite armour repels angle grinder attacks and eats angle grinder discs.
LITELOK X1 MINI
Tested to Destruction
Tested against the best-selling D-locks on the market, LITELOK X1 Mini is at least 5 times more resistant to angle grinder cuts than the best-selling unarmoured D-locks. Additionally, X1 Mini requires multiple discs to cut and due to its anti-rotation system, needs to be cut twice to remove.
LITELOK X1 MINI
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.

What's the difference between X1 MINI and X1 MINI Moto?

What is LITELOK X1 MINI made from?
LITELOK X1 MINI is built with Barronium®, a patented 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.
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.

The litelok mini moto is ideal for packing on trips where space can be limited,
Recently room it on a charity trip up north and even though I probably don’t need to put it on the bike at the hotel I did.
It gave me peace of mind know that I had added that extra layer of protection to my bike.
Highly recommend it and yes you might think it’s pricey compared to other locks but this is something different and worth every penny.

Here is a personal review tailored to those exact key points:
Finding a lock that genuinely deters an angle grinder without costing a fortune is a nightmare, but the Litelok X1 Mini absolutely nailed it. The main reason I bought it was the anti-grinder protection—the Barronium armor gives me total confidence that a battery grinder isn't going to slice through it in seconds.
For the level of security you’re getting, the value for money is unbeatable compared to other heavy-duty options on the market. It gives me complete peace of mind whenever I walk away and leave my bike parked up. Outstanding security, great price, highly recommended.

I was going on a short tour and as I have minimal storage capacity on my BMW R nineT Racer I opted for the X1 Mini Moto. At first I thought it would only fit in between the spokes on my front wheel but after some jiggling I found it would also fit over one of the front discs and through the wheel. Having it meant I slept easier on tour !

Nice and heavy. Bought to replace a disc lock I use on my Z900RS but too wide to fit through the disc holes and not wide enough to go round the front wheel, so I put it through the spokes. Small enough to fit between my clocks and fairing while travelling.
