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.

LITELOK X3
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.

I have always been wary where to leave the bike but feel more at ease leaving it with x3 securing it. In a time of increased thefts and attempts having this lock on it helps prevent a thief having a go. Reasonably light and handy carrying pouch fits in backpack easily.

I got for my tern GSD, based on reviews that it’s the best lock available. I hope I don’t need to find out! I is easy to lock and unlock and quite large, bigger than the hiplock and I never have a problem getting it around a chunky frame.

Great Quality, Value for Money, Angle Grinder Resistance, Lightweight, Made in BritainRated 4 out of 5 starsThe best bike lock you can find but hard to use on bigger bikes.
Main reason I brought this lock was to protect my expensive bike against almost any attack method including angle grinders. The lock itself is heavy but not lighter in comparison to other locks in the diamond lock category. The price itself is fantastic and cheaper than others. It comes with a free cover to keep it clean and dry and I mistakingly brought an extra one as I though it did not come with one. It takes a few attempts to lock the litelock with the key and requires adjusting. The arm itself has a rubber cover to avoid damaging your bike and the lock is pure metal and can be used to swing at a bike thief should your need to take action. It can scratch a little easy at the base but that's metal for you. The lock has a mud flap to keep it clean but you should check it before inserting a key in case you stick dirt into it. My main criticism is it is a little short and narrow for my needs, I have a specialised Turbo Como 5.0 e bike and I struggle to fit it around the rear frame and a stand, I do love this lock but the size issue means I truggle to get both ends to attach and lock in please.
I would still recommend it if you have a smaller bike, as it is best value and you are supporting UK businesses.

A great lock (although fortunately not tested for robustness just yet)! Easy to carry when travelling compared to a heavy chain. Goes through the front wheel and great that you can lock two together. It would be better if it went through the back wheel or the fork as well as the front…however it may meant an X1 purchase is on the cards!! I would have given 5 stars if it was a bit bigger and able to fit through the back wheel.

I purchased this lock to secure my new E-Bike. I live in a city in which bicycle theft is very common. I spent quite some time searching for the best lock to secure my e-bike and landed upon the X3. The lock took some time to arrive. I contacted customer service and had a response back in an hour or two that it would be shortly on its way. My only mistake was to not buy the tactical mount at the same time so I quickly resolved that. So far I am pleased with the lock. The lock feels very sturdy. It has a nice weight to it without being too heavy. Opening and closing the lock works well. The coating over the lock keeps it from damaging the frame of my bicycle. I consider this a worthwhile investment for the security of your bicycle/motorbike. I have lost one bicycle due to theft, locked with another manufacturer’s ART 4 rated lock, secured properly to a fixed bicycle parking station. I’m hopeful that with this lock, me and my bicycle will have a long future ahead!

Having extensively researched several motorbike D locks (online independent reviews by trusted sources) I took the plunge and invested in the Litelok X3 - predominantly as the first line of defence for my 2 wheeled pride and joy!
Once the aforementioned item arrived my first impressions were favourable i.e. the D lock felt extremely well built and most importantly it fitted nicely on my Speed Twin front wheel as can be viewed by the attached pics/vid.
Knowing that this D lock is made up of anti grind resistant composite gives great peace of mind and acts as a major deterrent for any 'miscreants'. Maybe a few colour choices would be nice.
Highly recommend.

Sturdy and secure. Around 4 lbs. Good sized U-Lock. Only complaint is that the mount didn’t fit my bike due to less circular frame shape.
