LITELOK X1 MOTO
Great Piece of Kit
I got the LITELOK X1 to use on my latest trip towards the Pyrenees. It’s a great bit of kit, nice and lightweight, easy to pack and give real peace of mind that your bike is safe. Also I think with the name branded on it, thieves know what it is and tend to stay clear and go for more easier picking. Thanks to all the team at LITELOK.

LITELOK X1 Moto - much better than a disc lock
Upgraded my bike security from a disc lock to the LITELOK X1 Moto and it really is a great item. Easy to deploy - it fits perfectly through the wheel hub on my GS, and just gives me peace of mind - knowing that it will take something seriously heavy duty to get past the lock, and in most cases will send the would-be thief on to another target. Really like the storage pouch supplied too.

Genuinely "Lite" Security!
After buying the X3 and Core Moto I thought I would treat myself to the X1. It's a little smaller and more portable than the X3 but what suprised me was the weight, definitely more portable than the X3, very light and very good quality. Customer service has been excellent and best of all it's British. Bravo LITELOK!

Right lock for you? Bike vs Moto
Both locks offer the same protection. The difference is what they are certified for and that comes down to what you're securing.
In short: same lock, different certification route. Moto is tested for motorcycles. Standard is tested for bicycles.

What the experts say...
Tony Walters, Man Cave Moto
"This is by far the toughest lock we've ever tested. If you're looking for a lock that will keep your beloved bike safe, this is the one!"
John Milbank, Bennetts BikeSocial
"The Litelok X1 strikes a formidable balance between cost and performance. In all practical senses, 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."
Stuart Prestridge, Motorcycle News
"X1 Moto can resist an angle grinder attack far longer than its 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."

What Makes the World's Best Bike Lock?
LITELOK X1 is the only full-sized armoured D-lock on the market 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 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
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 seen.
Anti-Rotation
Unique anti-rotation feature protects against twisting attacks and single cuts
Bio Polymer
The natural finish soft plant-based eco-rubber outer layer won't damage your frame
Armoured with Barronium®
Barronium® fused composite armour repels angle grinder attacks and eats angle grinder discs.
LITELOK X1
Tested to Destruction
Tested against the most d-locks on the market, LITELOK X1 is at least 5 times more resistant to angle grinder cuts. Additionally, X1 requires multiple discs to cut and due to its anti-rotation system, needs to be cut on both sides to remove.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can X1 be cut with an angle grinder?
Unfortunately, all locks can be cut with the right tools and enough time. The exact time it takes depends on a number of factors like the power of the angle grinder, the type of discs used and the skill of the user. During our own and independent tests we found that X1 is at least 5 times more angle grinder resistant than the current leading D-lock as well as needing multiple discs to cut it.
How much does LITELOK X1 weigh?
LITELOK X1 weighs approximately 1.7kgs or 3.7lbs.
What's the difference between X1 Bike and X1 Moto?
There is no difference between the Bike and Moto versions. They are exactly the same locks. The reason why we differentiate them is to show how X1 can be used as an effective security device for all types of bicycles and motorcycles.
What's the difference between X1 and X3?
LITELOK X1 and X3 are both highly resistant to angle grinder cuts. This resistance comes from the layers of Barronium® that each lock features. X3 uses a higher amount of Barronium® meaning it has a higher resistance to angle grinder cuts than X1. X1 has at least 5 times the resistance to angle grinder cuts compared to the best selling d-locks whereas X3 has at least 20 times the resistance.
What is the locking circumference of LITELOK X1?
LITELOK X1 has a full-sized locking circumference of approximately 101 x 196mm meaning you can lock more bikes in more places than other armoured u-locks.
Has LITELOK X1 been independently tested?
Yes, it has been thoroughly tested by Sold Secure and both locks achieve Sold Secure Powered Cycle and Bicycle Diamond levels (the highest ratings available).
(Note: Sold Secure is owned and administered by the Master Locksmiths Association (a not-for-profit trade association) and works from purpose built laboratories in the UK.
What is LITELOK X1 made from?
LITELOK X1 is built with Barronium®, our patented anti‑angle grinder material, applied as a permanently fused composite armour to provide 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.
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.

E-BikeWhat do you like about this lock? Great Quality, Value for Money, Angle Grinder ResistanceReviewingLITELOK X1Rated 5 out of 5 starsHigh Quality Lock Provides Peace of Mind
Excellent lock with just enough room to use on most locking posts. I bought this lock (and the tactical mount) for my partner’s ebike to give us peace of mind when we’re out on rides. I have a Hiplok for my own bike, but it is not as spacious as the Litelok. The little extra room that this Litelok has makes it more usable on bigger locking posts. I prefer to use the Sheldon Brown method when locking my bikes, so this has plenty of room for securing the back wheel. Sure it’s pricey, but compared to other grinder resistant locks it’s one of the more affordable options. I highly recommend the Litelok, however the tactical mount is pretty tedious to use, particularly on a step through frame. Velcro straps on a rack are more user friendly mounting options.

After seeing the increasing number of reports on Facebook of attempted motorcycle thefts and stolen bikes, I decided to research the most effective physical security options available. The Litelok X1 Moto stood out as an excellent balance of security, portability, and cost. It provides a high level of resistance to common theft methods while remaining practical enough to carry with me, making it an ideal addition to my overall security setup.
In my opinion, motorcycle manufacturers should incorporate more advanced anti-theft systems as standard, such as integrated wheel-locking mechanisms or other immobilisation devices that physically prevent the motorcycle from being moved. Until features like these become commonplace, investing in a high-quality security device is essential.
The Litelok X1 Moto offers exceptional build quality, inspires confidence with its robust construction, and provides an effective deterrent against opportunistic theft. Considering its performance, portability, and level of protection, it represents excellent value for money and is one of the best security investments available within my budget.

Definitely a great addition to my bike security, especially on the go as it fits perfectly under the pillion seat. Goes through the front discs of my SV650, it also goes over the front rim and tyre as another option for me.
I was recommended it by a few that use it for there cycle bikes and motorbikes, and I would definitely recommend it myself.
You can feel the build quality when you’re holding it and all the reviews online definitely back it up!
The key slot is great as well, no messing about. It pops in easy and comes out nice, some of my other locks can be a bit finicky at times so I appreciate this part of the lock haha.
Was thinking it might be a bit pricey, but after using it and owning one, it’s worth the money as it offers peace of mind.
When the budget allows I’ll be get the x3 too.
