Ultimate Urban Bundle - X3 and X3

If your standard for an ultimate security bike lock is something like the highly-regarded, top of the line Kryptonite New York Lock, please take a look at the two attached photos.

The Litelok X3 (on the left in both photos) is clearly more heavy duty than the Kryptonite New York Standard Lock (on the right).

Other differences: the key action on the X3 is more precise and the rubber shielding is more robust. The keys are also thicker/heavier duty than any other bicycle lock key I’ve ever seen.

The lock action on the X3 is as solid as solid can be.

If I were a bike thief, the X3 lock would appear more intimidating than the New York Lock.

The internal dimensions between the X3 and the Kryptonite New York Standard Lock are exactly the same, which is good since the New York Standard Lock is widely regarded as the best form factor for daily use that balances versatility and security. Kudos to Litelok for duplicating this ideal form factor.

Of course the above are all important but secondary factors beyond the critically important factor that the X3 is angle grinder resistant whereas a top of the line Kryptonite New York (or Abus) lock is not.

A few other positives on the X3 and Litelok:

We received three keys with each of the two X3 locks we purchased. We only expected two keys so this was a pleasant surprise.

Litelok says that the X3 ships in around 30 days. We received ours less than a week after we placed the order—we’re on the U.S. east coast. Shipment was via DHL…

So there's a star missing as you see... and this is because the locks are heavy and they are expensive... however, I did also consider giving these 5 stars since both these downsides are a given really! -

Anyway, just so you know, these locks aren't posted out to you at Amazon kind of speeds, so get ready to wait a couple of weeks from when you buy them to arrive. I did.... and it was ok. Was not in a hurry...

I haven't attempted to cut my Litelok in half with my angle grinder yet (you won't be surprised to hear) so I can't vouch for how safe this lock is against theft, but... since I watched all the various videos where other people DID try to break them, I'm confident that, should an event occur in the future, I'm best protected from most opportunist thieves who only have a battery grinder and one disk... It's worth noting that my eBike cost £5000.... so, when you consider the outlay I've made, the £250 I spent on this lock is probably about right.

Since my wife went and got the same eBike as me at the same time.... I had to buy two of these locks - so that double killed me...

Another couple of things; I still need to get used to fitting this and removing it since it doesn't seem to just fall apart in my hands at the moment when I unlock it.... but the key and mechanism look totally boss otherwise.... and also you should know that this is a small D lock. I guess it needs to be small to do what it does.... and it's big enough for most things you're going to attach you…
