Great Lock

Lock exceeds expectations. Fits a fat tire e-bike easily. Very sturdy! Punches way above it's weight class price wise.

Mark P.

Heavy Duty

Love this thing. Heavy duty and gives me piece of mind when locking it up outside. It also comes with a pouch I use before storing it in my pannier bag.

Nelson O.

Best security to weight ratio hands down

These locks are legitimately impressive. Best security to weight ratio I could find. Happy with the quick shipping and size and performance so far.

What the experts say...

Jeremy Benson, GearJunkie

"The LITELOK X1 masterfully balances security, price, and performance. In addition to having a slightly larger locking area than most angle grinder-resistant locks, it’s among the lightest and easiest on the wallet."

Carl Ellis, thebestbikelock.com

"The best all round bike lock in 2025 is still the Litelok X1. This is because it’s the anti-angle grinder bike lock that provides the best balance between security, practicality and price, for those cyclists that need a higher level of protection."

Josh Patterson, The Guardian

"The Litelok X1 is the best overall bike lock we tested. It balances real-world grinder resistance with everyday usability and it is relatively low-weight. This makes it ideal for e-bike riders, daily commuters and anyone locking up in theft-prone areas."

Ryan Winiata, wired.com

"Litelok’s trusty X1 offers serious security and impressive versatility for a wide range of users, bikes, and racks. As an angle-grinder-resistant U-lock, the X1’s security scores are among the highest available."

Mike Stead, road.cc

"The Litelok X1 is one of the lightest Diamond-rated D-locks around. Even more impressive is that for the 1.7kg weight it's a full-size lock with large internal locking dimensions. And it was the cheapest lock to survive our angle grinder test by a long way."

Warren Rossiter, Bike Radar

"The best-value angle-grinder resistant lock we’ve ever tested. When I tried to cut it with an angle grinder, it took 4min 38secs (including disc changes) to cut through one side of the X1’s shackle, which exceeds its premium rivals and the Sold Secure Powered Cycle Diamond rating."

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 (both sold separately) mount which means you can attach the lock to your frame with ease.

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.

    Great deterrent for an electric cycle

    Checked a lot of online reviews and the Litelok X1 was consistently a top performer balancing strength with price. Was slightly concerned that my electric bike, Mirider 20, would be too big for this D lock but have found a number of ways to secure the bike with this style lock. Looking forward to cycling without the worry of losing my new bike to any but a very determined thief with multiple discs for an angle grinder!

    Great light weight but tough lock

    I already had a lock but was worried that it was not upto securing my new bike. The litelok is very light and knowing it can withstand a sustained attack from an angle grinder is reassuring. Just fits the tyre and rim of my ADV350. A very happy customer

    Good design, lock mechanism could be smootert

    I'm a recovering ABUS u-lock owner. After my Granite 540 Lock was cut like soft butter by a battery-powered angle grinder, I decide to splurge and invest in a light lock. X1 very solid product.! Like other uses. However, I've noticed that the cylinder lock mechanism can be a little finicky, where the key does not fit all the way into the cylinder without some jiggling. I'm hoping this will get easier over time. Nonetheless, I feel much more confident leaving my bike in high security situations without the fear that it will be easily cut with a battery powered angle grinder.

    Solid new lock

    I recently purchased this new lock after a bizarre incident where my Arbus lock disappeared entirely, yet the bike was retrieved was a flat tyre but otherwise unharmed.

    I am reassured by its anti angle-grinder qualities. It feels reassuring solid and robust and so far I have locked my bike with it at Cambridge railway station (notorious for bike theft) was considerably more peace of mind than in the past. I love the addition of reflectors on the lock- looks super smart. The mounting system has taken a little getting used to, but is getting more efficient as I get used to it. The advantage from my old Arbus is that it mounts in a way that does not get in the way of my pannier bag on both sides of the bike.

    The Litelok is more expensive than my previous locks, but I think it’s worth it for the robustness and peace of mind.

    Worth the money

    I was reluctant to spend this amount of money on a bike lock but when you se the build quality you realise it's worth it if it means I won't have another bike stolen again.

    Buy this lock before you buy the bike

    I have a very expensive bike and I was convinced that my previous, also expensive, 120£ D lock will be enough. It's not. 99% of them aren't. I sold it when I've seen how easy a pocket bloody battery powerd grinder can cut it in 20 f. sec. It was depressing, but doing some research I discovered that an actual engineer found a solution for us, the poor cyclists. Thank you Neil! in the name of all cyclists who took the bus having the helmet on. Guys forget about any other lock. The hype is real, but do your own research.

    My Only Trusted Bike Lock.

    The product’s quality is exceptional, having undergone rigorous testing by various individuals. The company provides outstanding customer service and comprehensive aftersales support. The pricing is competitive, and they offer attractive discounts to enhance affordability. Additionally, the peace of mind that I receive considering my location in London is a significant advantage. Thank you, Litelok, for this amazing product.

    I was rushing to buy the locks that I forgot to buy the mounts. I wish I had the funds to get some soon; that would really make it perfect.

    2 Motorcycles 2 Liteloks

    Touring on motorcycles, security needed more than ever!

    First trip to Europe Litelok x1 bought, x2.

    We went for x1 just for less weight, as bikes are heavy enough, I had to make brackets to hold the Liteloks were they would be very accessible, I could not mount the Tactical mounts on our crash bars.

    Maybe a thought for Litelok to look at?.

    Very fast to fit lok to bike as you can see in Video, defiantly gives you peace of mind, leaving your bike, with the Litelok fitted, colored tag is to remind you, not to go anywhere, until you have removed the Litelok and locked it back in its bracket.

    A must have these days

    Good size, angle grinder resistant. Feels very well put together and not too heavy considering the size. Sadly, I think a must have these days if you have an ebike or other reasonably expensive bike that you don't want to get stolen. Would recommend!
