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 cut 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 (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.

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 U-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 U-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.

Unfortunately literally three days within purchase my son's ebike was targeted (in broad daylight on a busy street parked directly across from his high school while he was taking a final exam). He came out to find his lock partially cut through (see attached photo) but still on. Horrible that it needs to be used at all but so glad we decided to pay more for such a high quality lock.

My fancy Road Bike was stolen out of my basement.
My new all purpose (instead of a second Car for the Family) E-Bike got Stolen 2 Times already, but with my Bosch Connect module and the alarm+SIMCard Tracking I managed to get it Back both Times. Now I was really Fed Up with all the locks beeing broken/cut/anglegrinded in Seconds and I upgraded to your Litelok X1. I truly hope now the criminals leave my bike alone! Quality looks so massive and I mounted it perfectly as on the picture. Thank you 💜

Great quality lock in just the right size and weight. The performance is in line with the Abus 540 I used for years, aka great!! The size is a bit smaller but not to small. I can lock one wheel, frame and a street pole or common bike rack within the u lock. That was an absolute demand to lock the bike safely I my town. The angle grinder resistance is yet to be tested but it would take at least double the time to cut compared to my Abus 540 and I hope it will be enough to detterent most bike thieves, that’s why I give it 4/5 and not 5/5.

Hope I'll never get to test it for real because thieves will probably damage my bike while trying to cut it off, but the Litelok X1 seems to be really tough and well-built. It's quite heavy too, but not too much if compared to other top security models from other brands. Delivery to Canada was expensive but it arrived quicker than expected in Toronto (within a week). Recommend.

Ancien VTTiste dans ma jeunesse, depuis vélotafeur au quotidien, j’ai d’abord utilisé le Vélib’ électrique pendant des années, de peur d’avoir mon propre vélo et de me le faire voler. Mais le service Vélib à trouvé ses limites, les Vélib’ électriques étant victimes de leur succès, il était devenu de plus en plus difficile d’en trouver un aux heures de pointe à la sortie du bureau où le matin en partant de la maison.
J’ai donc franchi le pas au début de l’année en achetant mon propre vélo électrique chez Décathlon. J’avais d’abord eu un antivol en U bon marché de chez Décathlon parce que je ne comptais me servir de mon vélo que pour aller au travail. Or j’ai un local à vélos chez moi et au travail, donc pas besoin d’un gros antivol.
Mais de plus en plus, je me suis retrouvé à faire mes courses en ville sur Paris ou en banlieue et à devoir attacher mon vélo dans la rue quelques minutes. Et à chaque fois c’était le stress et la course pour faire vite et ne pas laisser mon vélo traîner trop longtemps dehors.
Finalement je me suis fait offrir pour mon anniversaire cet antivol Litelok X1. Et quel bonheur maintenant d’avoir l’esprit tranquille quand je laisse mon vélo attaché sur Paris et de pouvoir prendre tout mon temps ! J’ai presque envie de faire un test et le laisser attaché toute une semaine pour voir si quelqu’un arrive à le voler :)

Since I had to start locking up my scooter outside the worksite I felt the Masterlock D lock wasn't good enough. So I bought the X1. What a big difference. I definitely feel much more relaxed that my scooter is locked outside. Little on the heavy side carrying the X1 in my backpack but well worth it

Das beim Radfahren zum lästigen Klappern neigende Spiel im Schloß habe ich wie folgt verhindert:
1. Befestigung des X1 am Sitzrohr möglichst weit oben mit dem mitgelieferten Halter. Dadurch entsteht zwischen montiertem Schloß und Oberrohr nur ein Abstand von 3-4 cm.
2. Den U-Bügel mit einem ca. 3 cm breiten Klettband möglichst weit vorne mit Spannung am Oberrohr fixieren, dann klappert nichts mehr.
