What the experts say...
James Grear, 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."
Carl Ellis, thebestbikelock.com
"It’s definitely the most secure bike lock I’ve ever tested. And that 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."
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 but will trash a grinder disc. That's enough security for most bikes in most situations and it comes without tradeoffs in price and useability."
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 thhousands 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
Easy to Carry
X1 is compatible with our innovative X1 tactical Mount and Twist & Go Mount which means you can attach the lock to your frame with ease. Both mounts are sold separately.
Armed with Barronium®
Barronium® fused composite armour repels angle grinder attacks and eats angle grinder discs.
LITELOK X1
Tested to Destruction
Tested against the best-selling 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 greater 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.
Can I attach LITELOK X1 to my bike?
LITELOK X1 is compatible with our innovative X1 Tactical mount for mounting the lock on your bike frame. The X1 Tactical Mount fits a wide variety of bikes and e-bikes ensuring your LITELOK X1 is held securely even the roughest of terrain.
X1 is also compatible with the Twist & Go mount.
Both of the X1 mounts are sold separately.
Has LITELOK X1 been independently tested?
Yes, it has been thoroughly tested by independent testing bodies Sold Secure and ART. Both locks achieve Sold Secure Powered Cycle and Bicycle Diamond levels (the highest ratings available) and ART4.
(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.
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 from?
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.

Ordered the the LITELOK X1 to secure my Indian Scout when at home in the garage as an extra line of defence and when out and about.
My order was shipped and received quickly and was well packaged.

On my way home from work I found that someone had clearly tried to steal my bicycle, cutting into my Litelok X1 from different angles and entry points, but had given up.
I now own several Liteloks for all my family's two wheeled vehicles. The outer coating avoids damaging things and protects them from the elements, the key always turns smoothly, and, as shown above, they work! Highly recommended.

Bought this litelox x1 for my new ebike. Sadly the x3 was not readily available and I wanted to safely take my bike out for a spin and this lock has not disappointed! Supet sturdy, barely any rattle, heavy duty feel (weight wise as well)
Smooth lock engagement that shows what craftsmanship has been put in to development.
For sure going to by the bigger brother, X3, being so sure that you get what you pay for. Highly recommend it!

As my Bantam has no ignition key I was looking for an alternative to a padlock and chain to secure it when I was out and about.
The LITELOK X1 MOTO was recommended by a friend and after some research I bought one.
Very impressed when it turned up, feels robust and well made, easy to fit and not overly heavy, easier to carry than a lock and chain too!
Would highly recommend the LITELOK X1 MOTO and I will buy again for my other bike.

I constantly worry about leaving my e-bike but this lock has given me some peace of mind.
- Well built and very difficult to cut.
- Rubberized coating with reflector strips to protect your investment.
- Water resistant key guard to keep moisture out of the locking mechanism.
- Comes with convenient carry case as well.
They really did think of everything when they built this. Well worth the price and should last a very long time. Skimping on a bike lock will only cause you grief and this one is well worth it.

Bought a Litelok X1 to take with me on a cycle trip in Europe. I'm a bit paranoid about the possibility of theft in the first place and didn't want to end up marooned in some far off city. Having read reviews I figured the Litelok X1 would best meet my needs because of its combination of anti-grinder security and relatively (for this kind of lock) low weight. I got it with the tactical mount and it accompanied me throughout my trip. It fits snugly in the mount, no rattle, no problems and gave me massive reassurance whenever I did have to leave the bike, including overnight at times. I returned home with bike and lock intact - I massively recommend the Litelok X1. As an addition I'd say that staff at Litelok were very helpful in getting the lock to me in time for the trip, because my order was rather last minute.
