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.

Hopefully a good secure lock to protect my motorbike when away from home
Just fits round front wheel/tyre on 2014 triumph tiger 800
Would have liked the bigger X3 but honestly couldn't afford it
A bit clunky when trying to close it but probably cos it's new
Reflective sticker coming off after just a week but not too fussed
Fits around my hepco/Becker bow pannier frame when riding
Hopefully does the job if a scumbag decides to try nicking it.

Lo compré hace tres semanas más o menos despues de mirar muchos vídeos comparativos en Internet.
Me di cuenta de que entre los tres mejores candados anti amoladora angular del mercado estaba el Litelok X1 y lo escogí por las tres razones que expongo en el titulo de la reseña, calidad-precio y diseño, también por un vídeo que vi en el que tres ladrones intentan llevarse una bicicleta protegida con este candado y por su resistencia al corte de sierra le dió tiempo al dueño a venir y frustrar el robo, eso fue lo que me terminó de convencer, aparte de la satisfacción tan grande al sentí al ver que se iban con las manos vacias.
Soy de España y aquí todavía creo que no van con amoladora angular los ladrones de bicicletas, en todo caso llevan cizallas para las cadenas, de todos modos y por si acaso compré este candado para estar más tranquilo.
También porque pensaba que nunca me iban a robar una bicicleta hasta el mes de enero de este año que me quitaron una y me quedé en shock.
En resumidas cuentas, desde que tengo el Litelok estoy más seguro y duermo más tranquilo.
Lo único malo por ponerle una pega es el peso, pero claro todo no se puede pedir.

Having just purchased a new pushbike I thought it was time to also upgrade my security and wow if anyone gets past this litelok I’ll be surprised it well made and you definitely need the holder as it’s also quite heavy.

Nach sehr langer und intensiver Recherche, hab ich mich für das X1 entschieden und bin sehr zufrieden,
Ich finde jedoch, dass der Schlüssel etwas fummelig einzuführen ist; dafür ist der Zylinder aber vor Schmutz gut geschützt. Das Schloss reflektiert bei Dunkelheit sehr gut, was ein Plus an Sicherheit bietet.
Als Zubehör habe ich mir die Tactical Mount Halterung angebracht, diese hält das Schloss zuverlässig dort wo es sein soll. Die Halterung könnte etwas schlanker und schicker designt und idealerweise auch an den Punkten der Flaschenhalter zu montieren sein.
Insgesamt bin ich sehr zufrieden mit meinem Kauf und hätte hier 4,5 Sterne vergeben.
