As Good As It Gets
Had my old bicycle stolen with a U-lock from a popular company within seconds. After doing some research I ended up purchasing the X3 for my new ebike. 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. Highly recommend and worth the investment in my opinion.

Peace of mind
Strong, well made, and feels good in my hands! Don’t scratch the paint in my bike rims. But most importantly, I have the certainty that I can keep my eyes off my bike with this lock. Litelok X3 is superior to any other lock, that’s a fact!

Solid as an Abrams tank
UK quality. Unpickable Abloy lock. You need a torch to cut this baby. Angle grinder takes too long. It’s heavy but comes with a wet suit material bag so it’s easy to strap down with bungie cords. I purchased 2. Great investment to secure my E-bikes.

What the experts say...
John Milbank, Bennetts BikeSocial
"By having the Litelok X3 as part of that set-up, you’ve made your bike one of the hardest to steal on the street. The Litelok X3 is now my personal choice of portable lock, and very much worthy of a BikeSocial recommendation."
Carl Ellis, thebestbikelock.com
"The Litelok X3 is the most angle grinder resistant portable bike lock I’ve ever tested. And I’ve tested them all now, so that means it’s the most angle grinder resistant portable bike lock you can buy!"
Ben Clarke, Motorcycle News
"X3 Moto has achieved a Sold Secure Diamond rating for bicycle and motorbike applications. And for an added bonus, it’s made in Britain at a solar-powered factory."

LITELOK X3
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 X3 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 X3 is at least 20 times more angle grinder resistant than the current leading D-locks as well as needing multiple discs and batteries to cut it.
How much does LITELOK X3 weigh?
LITELOK X3 weighs approximately 2.1kgs or 4.6lbs.
What's the difference between X3 Bike and X3 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 X3 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.
How do I carry LITELOK X3 on my bike?
If you'd like to carry LITELOK X3 on your bike, you'll need to purchase the X3 Tactical Mount - a tough mount for the world's toughest lock.
What is the locking circumference of LITELOK X3?
LITELOK X3 has a full-sized locking circumference of approximately 100 x 195mm.
Has LITELOK X3 been independently tested?
Yes, it has been thoroughly tested by Sold Secure and both locks achieve Sold Secure Powered Cycle and Pedal Cycle Diamond levels (the highest ratings available). It has also been tested by ART, and certified 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 X3 made from?
LITELOK X3 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 X3 is sold with a 7-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.

Looked around for so long trying to decide and ultimately buying this lock offered me the most protection of any other lock and eases my anxieties about having a new bike in London, even with insurance I love having such a strong bike that I know deters thieves! It is heavy but that’s a sacrifice you make.

Well made in UK and crucially an antidote to the battery disc cutters prevalent in today’s thefts, a serious upgrade to my layered security.

So after my GSA was stolen from my garage at the beginning of this year, I have spent much time researching and analysing every type of motorcycle security device out there in all forms. To hopefully save myself the trauma and misery of losing another buddy (because that’s what your bike ultimately becomes as you go places and accumulate experiences on it.)
So anyway, after purchasing various 19 and 22 mm chains ground anchors, alarms and trackers to fit to my new bike I can honestly say that liteloks’ X3 is the sole device that helps me sleep better at night, and also when out and about for that matter, it always goes with me and fits through the rear wheel disc and spokes simultaneously. If you’re lucky enough to purchase one you’ll feel how substantial it really is and you’ll instantly know what I’m talking about. Also if you combine it with a likelok core moto through the front wheel and anchor it to some street furniture or a strong anchor point, then there is a very high percentage thief’s won’t even bother. Be smart and don’t ever be complacent like I was. All the best 👍

This lock is a beast. It makes me feel secure when I leave my bike outside. I generally don’t leave it outside, but I want to be able to so I decided to invest in a high end bike lock, and this one’s the best one out there. It’s also not as heavy as I thought it would be. The key also works really well. In the past I’ve had so many issues with the key for my kryptonite and the key on this one works a lot easier. I wish it was just a little bit wider. I don’t have the skinniest bike frame, but I also definitely don’t have the biggest and it’s can be a little difficult to put the wheel and the frame along a standard bike rack while also getting a cable around the other tire, but that’s every lock I’ve had so it seems to just be industry standard. I would definitely recommend purchasing the X3.

Angle Grinder Resistance, High Security, Great Quality, Portable, Made in BritainRated 5 out of 5 starsExcellent lock that gives me peace of mind
The lock just fits most bicycle racks with how I lock my bike with both the front wheel (motorised and so the more expensive one) and the frame locked to the rack. (I was doing it with one hand in this video as my other hand was filming, and it's usually much easier with two hands.)
The only problem I have is that I now struggle to find space to mount a second Litelok onto my frame since I want to get another one for the rear wheel.

The lock is solid. It is a bit heavier than i had thought it would be but for the security it gives is great. Not as big as i thought it would be for my scrambler lock locations are tight but still workable. I also use it on my gravel bike with the carrier it came with and that is great. I feel very safe walking away from my bikes.
