Litelok X1 & Litelok X3 review | Real world angle-grinder test
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 มิ.ย. 2024
- PLEASE NOTE: The X3 is £249.99, not £279.99. We test the Litelok X1 and the Litelok X3, claimed to be the toughest motorcycle and bicycle locks you can buy.
Using 42" bolt-croppers, drill, lump-hammer, sledge hammer and angle-grinder attacks, we find out if this is the best motorbike lock you can buy, and how it compares to the Hiplok D1000. Plus, how you can stop your bike from being stolen.

Please note that the Litelok X3 is actually £249.99, not £279.99 as I said in the video. Cheers, John
the X3 does not exist on the european website?
It's pretty much hand-assembled, so they've delayed production slightly to keep up with the X1 apparently. It'll be on the site shortly. Cheers, John
Thanks for another fine torture test demo. The X3 is up for preorder in the US. ETA is expected in February of 23. Priced at $300.
@@bennettsbikesocial do you have any idea when they will be available? Bike recently got stolen and recovered and this looks like a must have to make sure it doesn't happen again. I'm planning on putting around the front tire of my 2020 Africa twin, I hope it fits!
Sorry to hear that! Preorders should be live shortly, then available around February I think.
It's amazing that its that two British companies are pushing the tech use in the portable lock market forwards whilst the likes of Kryptonite and Abus haven't done anything despite being huge with loads of resource available. Angle grinders are the biggest threat now so its great to see some decent protection against them starting to appear. Great video John
Thanks very much! Cheers, John
They have not bothered if they don't need to spend anything if anyone just buys their old stuff. This is great to see more inovation and not just a new lock using old outdated tech.
@@bennettsbikesocial How long will a diamond cutting wheel that won't wear down take to finish the lock?
@Michael Conlogue diamond wheels are not very good at all on metal strangely. I use them on tiles daily, but even cutting through a bit of aluminium will be far quicker with a metal cutting disc.
@@amococ2487 That is reassuring, thank you for the info.
Good for you John, you’re a very genuine and upfront biker bloke fighting all the BS and gits out there. 👍
Thanks so much! Cheers, John
Another brilliant video. No marketing fluff, just an objective test with results demonstrated. It's good to see manufacturers are slowly gaining ground against the angle grinders, I'll be getting one of these once I upgrade to a motorbike that's worth more than the lock 😂
Thanks very much for such an informative and objective assessment. I’ve just ordered an X3. For anyone else who’s interested, it’s worth ordering today as the current pre-order run (which is discounted) expires at midnight.
In the world of TH-cam videos, you are the Litelok X3 John. Thank you yet again for an absolutely amazingly informative video. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much! All the best, John

Another brilliant video and great review John. I just love the content you put out.
Have a great weekend mate, Cheers, Michael.

Litelok should make a series of chains using the same material so you can use this lock to link the chain to a fixed immovable point so the bike can't be picked up. Since the weakest link is usually the chain, I think that would be a good business decision. Another product of similar inability to cut through.
I have an x3 and it's so short and narrow the only place I can use it wolthout a chain is through the spokes. doesn't fit around either wheel, or through either brake disk. bit disappointed the spokes are now the fairly easy to cut weak spot
@@mmm357m yes I've found the same, too much clutter around the disk to feed it through and not wide enough to get the rim and the tyre through. Trying to decide whether to return it or to strip the protective rubber and coat with bright tape.
@@Bunter1815 Just throwing this idea out there, haven’t thought it through enough to pick it apart. How about modifying it to fit through an area in the brake disc or hub by cutting through the straight part of one side of the U, then grind down the diameter thickness of each side of the cut enough so that each cut side can just fit through the hole in the hub or discs, and then meet in the middle, where accessibility of a tool is near impossible. The ground down diameter of the separated sides won’t be able to be exposed by sliding it through one way or the other, because the original thickness is too much to fit through and it’s snuggly butted up against each hole entrance. The tough part would be to get the tolerances just right so it can’t be wiggled to one side or the other to expose the ground down thinner diameter. I dunno in my head it works but would be very specific to your bike and would likely make it useless in other applications.
@@chuck1622 i just stripped the protective rubber and coated with blue insulation tape.
The chain links would need to be as thick as the lock shackle but not a bad idea.
As always, your reviews are first-rate, John. Massive thanks 👍👍
Thank you! Cheers, John
Don't ya just love it when a product like this comes out to help honest paying riders!
Another kick in the Gonads to the 'Toerags'
You work hard for this channel and get a lot of respect from the motorcycle community.
Off topic, as you have already covered, I look forward to seeing actual reviews of the 2023 Niken GT when it's released and any comparisons to the 2022 and before versions. I've enjoyed your plenty of Niken content over the years.
As for bike theft, there aren't many things that make my blood boil more, especially seeing thieves in action. It's great seeing them nabbed by the police, though.
Thanks for your hard work, it doesn't go unnoticed.
Thanks so much! All the best, John
I always appreciate you making these videos. Thanks so much!
Thank YOU for watching! Cheers, John
This was an excellent real-world test, and I'd be happy to use both litelocks. Thanks .
Great to see and this is on a higher powered mains grinder. Really impressive work from Litelok
Very interesting review, good point about brake disks being cut too. Also nice to see a fellow donor, congratulations on reaching 50
Thanks! I tried to do platelets, but my veins couldn't handle it. Gutted, as that'd be a fast-track to 100! Cheers, John
Glad I saw this, I was just about to buy an X1! X3 is best bet. Crazy we have to spend so much on security out and about and at home for our bikes.
I’m originally from the Highlands and never locked our houses, left keys in unlocked cars out and about, to town, to the pub, never would get stolen. Moved to London, holy crapola, I had to get pannier bags to hold two chain and locks, two disc locks, had to get Datatag, Tracker just to get my insurance down which was 3 times more to what I paid up North lol. Crazy times we live in now!
Great vid, thanks for the reassurance now on the X3 👍👍🍻🍻🏴🇬🇧
Congrats on 100K views on the Litelok locks! Good knowing more and more people learning about these locks.
Wished you showed the Litelok Core Plus Moto against the cable cutters and angle grinder as a worthy upgrade from the Litelok Gold more than just your review on the website.
Thanks for another quality piece of journalism.
Great to see quality products from a British company.
Thanks very much! Cheers, John
Good that you tested drilling it. Hardly any lock reviews do this yet it normally takes about 10 seconds to drill out a cylinder. Far quieter than grinding too. This looks like an excellent lock.
It is. I locked up my Tern Verge X11 (£2500). To go in waitrose. When I came out some toerag had been trying to grind it. I knocked him out with my ergon saddle.
Thank you so very much for making all these tests and films.
Cheers! John
Thanks for watching! Cheers, John
Great job ! if Bennetts gave a better renewal price I would still be there, either way thank you for your diligence.
Thanks for the very thorough test, John. In fairness to LPL, he has often said that on-street thefts are generally brute-force attacks and very unlikely to involve anything but the most basic 'picking' tools and techniques.
He used to, but seems to have stopped now, sadly.
@@bennettsbikesocial I'd guess it got too repetitive, even for someone who has a few 'catchphrases'.
@@bennettsbikesocial LPL keeps saying it, but in different words: "it requires special tools and skills and is probably beyond a novice picker".
Additionally, thieves (assuming they're rational) are supposed to use the easiest way to steal, which was a grinder attack. If this lock is a game changer, a new method will prevail. It might be a lock picking or something else, like a garage door opener hacking. So it would be unwise to completely ignore the pick resistance of your locks.
@@dyurchyk Pick resistance isn't ignored - it's part of the certification for Sold Secure. We'll continue to keep trying to engage with LPL, but he seems pretty busy with his shop.
At the end of the day the only lock manipulation attacks (not full picking) I've heard of thieves actually using are things like comb picks, raking, bump keys and shimming of padlocks (along with snapping euro cylinders)
I have never heard of any common thief using skilled picking as an attack unless they are the super specialised type that tends to steal artwork or jewellery from vaults
In the case of this product, 4 discs (!) and time, time, time......that's the key, as you've pointed out so often. I really love your videos, John. Thanks, buddy!
Thanks very much! Cheers, John
Excellent test and solid content as always ... thank you!! 🙂
Thanks for watching! Cheers, John
Thank you for showing us how they hold up. I Have never used D Locks before but the way you used them on your wheel has opened my eyes, not only the fact that these Locks held up real nice. 10/10. PS I was unsubbed somehow so I resubbed :)
Impressive, no doubt about it.
If we worried about everything we'd never ride and that lock and a disc lock under a cover would be an excellent setup.
Really good work, thanks for sharing
Happy, safe travels 👍
Thanks very much. You too! Cheers, John
Awesome video John, thanks for your research and sharing it! 👍👍
Thank YOU for watching! Cheers, John
A other great review. What you do for us bikers is great keep it up ride safe be safe.
Look forward to the next one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much! All the best, John
Amazing. That Barronium material is sensational, i'm buying the X3!
I completely agree on the colouring of the locks. Black is easy to forget about. Countless times I tried to move my bike with a disk lock on that wasn't really brightly coloured, only being saved by having the engine being off. I even wrecked the disk on my current bike when I tried riding with it still attached. For a finish, I've gone with a very bright disk lock with an alarm from Oxford (as well as a big chain). Yes, that alarm is for me as much as deterring any thieves - 2 years and not even a hint of forgetting to take it off. So maybe bright coloured lock and a lock alarm?
Good call
know its an old comment but I put a elasticated bungee cable from my lock and loop it over the front brake lever to remind me its on. think we have all tried riding off with a disc lock on before :)
Great stuff, I think the X3 is going on my shopping list. I’ve currently got one of the big liteloks which has been a bit disappointing in terms of not being nearly as practical as it looks like it might be. It’s big enough to be awkward to carry but not long enough to attach to a lot of things (bearing in mind that lampposts and railings are usually set back from the kerbside)
I agree - the Core Moto doesn't roll up tightly enough, which is why I still prefer a chain. Cheers, John

Another chance for some anger management therapy! I always find your testing vids extremely helpful for how thorough and informative they are. Absolutely brilliant, thank you. 👍
Cheers, John
Great to see a British company producing such a top end security product. Well done #litelok
Great review 👍😎. Only been watching a short while, but just super informative and helpful. I happened across you single layer, lined Jean testing from back in March this year. WHOA!!! Excellent, so informative! Whoa, thank you. I’m in my late 60’s, and though I ride so much LESS than what I did in my 30’s, I didn’t realize how crappy my wrangler carpenter jeans were ~ are in a crash/accident/ get off on pavement. I always suspected leathers were the best, and I always wear a full face helmet, full leather gloves, trousers (jeans) and a full sleeved jacket with pads (& boots that cover my ankle bones😉), but somewhere I missed out on how poor jeans are. Thanks for the solid, well present talk. I best get looking for that Litelok X3 lock and a lined pair of jeans… 👍😎
Thanks very much! All the best, John
Fantastic lock! Great anti pick core too. Well worth the investment on top of insurance. We now have 3 great options on the market for anti angle grinder locks. I might get one as in upgrade to my Kryptonite forgettaboutit D lock. Most locks on the market are rated against Bolt cutters and not grinders so this is great to see. I wish you tested it against the twist attack though. Lesson is if you can lock this lock to your bike....then put it through the wheel not the spokes if it fits and anchor the lock down with a decent security chain.
Fantastically helpful review. I have a combination of chains, disc locks and u-locks for my fazer1000. When out and about I use a U-lock as the mighty fazer has a U-lock holder built under the seat. I’ve actually wondered for a long time whether a U-lock was effective or not. This review certainly helps answer that.
Thanks! Oh for the days of decent storage space under seats! Cheers, John
Great review as always truly informative. Pleases keep your other hand well away from the grinder, they can slip.👍
They quoted you on the website and posted this video. Love it😂
Great video not only for motorcyclists but also for bicycle owners, especially the more expensive ebikes or cargo bikes. Shame some more established companies have no such locks in their offer.
Thanks very much! Cheers, John
What is an expensive Bike to you? I am waiting for a 2k€ (conventional) bike and plan on splurging on the lock. I think even "cheap" bikes should be well secured.
@@Raz0rking One can buy a second hand bike or a new "supermarket quality" bike for a fraction of what you paid, closer to the value of the lock.
One determines oneself what is "expensive" and "cheap" in comparison to the item secured.
Don't try finding controversy where there isn't one!
@@ukrytykrytyk8477 I aint looking for controversy. Everyone should splurge on a good lock. Imagine you get a bike for 300€ and a lock for 20€ and you get it stolen. One is still out 300+€ because one did skimp on a good lock.
@@Raz0rking You're looking for controversy because you are assuming that the only options out there are cheap locks and the most expensive one, while in reality there are many choices.
Look at SoldSecure clasifications. One can get Gold rated lock for 30-50 euro/pound/dollar which would be adequate for many.
Great review. It would be great to see you test the OnGuard Brute as it is one the of the cheapest (~£30) locks with a thick diameter shackle (16.8mm) available in the UK
This channel is our community gold mine
Thank you so much for making this video it was very helpful
Thanks for watching! Cheers, John
amazing videos, this is what we need
Just seen this video as part of my research for a decent lock for my partner, her bike was stolen last summer despite being locked and chained in an area with other bikes present that weren't locked at all! The Lock in question was an Oxford Boss alarmed D shackle and Oxford 12mm chain (both quite old admittedly). Anyway, this is an excellent video, no shilling just an honest real world test. This lock has to be on the shortlist, thanks for your Efforts in producing this. Cheers.
Regarding the colour you could always use some bright yellow vehicle wrap for the time being until they introduce some brighter colours from factory, just an idea.
Sorry to hear that! Cheers, John
I really appreciate your videos.
Probably going to get one with some of the money im saving going back to bennet's since my last insurance company didn't care about my data tool tracker, locks or bike safe. Another class video bud!
Thanks so much! All the best, John
Update, used my money, you dont have it as an option and now paying more :(
There will always be the 'yeah but' brigade but as you point out, in the real world... Appreciate the effort and information. I use an original Litelok with other locks when out, my logic being, the more on my bike the more chance of the scumbags passing me by. Cheers Brady
Exactly the right thing to do! Cheers, John
That looks like a great lock John, I’ve bought some liteloks so had all the emails about it. Luckily I live in a rural area with very little crime but when I’m away from home I do have locks for front and back so the bike can’t be easily wheeled away. Also use a chain or litelock where I can, or feel the need to lock it to something solid or a mates bike.
Thank you I bought one when I watched this video the lite lok. x1 for my e bike
Tip I was given to not lose the angle grinder key : It's a good idea to cable-tie the angle grinder spindle key to it's plug to remind you to unplug it when you're swapping discs, so you don't accidentally start it and take your fingers off.
Good idea!
Well, it’s always handy anyway
Cordless
Best to tighten by hand, then you wont even need it
I keep the key tied to the grinder cable with plastic-coated wire.
Holy cow, just don't loose your key. 👍👍. Brilliant, as is the norm.
Thanks so much! Cheers, John
Why? Register the number - or just write it down - and Litelok can send you a replacement! Or if you're prone to losing one, then order an extra (or 2) when you get your lock so you don't have to go without.
Come on people!
great stuff! my bike got stolen last month, then sawed through the bar it was chained to!
Sorry to hear that! It is important to find something as solid as possible, but anything is always better than nothing.
I commute into Manchester City centre daily and I currently have 3 of Oxford hd max disc locks, a crappy ‘alarm’ disc lock and a nice big chain and padlock (that being left in the parkin bay) I’ve tried to make my bike look a royal pain in the arse to pinch! If it’s 30 seconds per lock that’s 2 and half minutes the thieves will have to be going at my bike. I will be buying one of these litelocks!!!
You're doing everything right. There'll always be bikes to lock up near that have bugger-all security!
I have watched several videos testing bike locks. No one has actually done the tests under ALL of the following conditions. 1. Use portable grinder popular with thieves. 2. Include in the tests the time to change out blades and batteries on the portable grinders. In real life that time would add to cutting the locks. 3. Locking the bike locks in a more realistic scenario wrapping the rear wheel, frame and bike rack. 4. Additional second or third lock wrapping around front wheel, frame and bike rack. 5. Steps to take if you encounter thief while in progress.
Good video, 👍👍I believe there is a lock called the diamond, that is very robust. As far as, I recollect an attempt was made using a portable grinder,and 9 blades which didn't cut through the lock.
Thanks for covering more than just the solid U part. Nice to see the drilling and hammering tests unlike so many other reviewers.However it would be nice to see the angle grinder against the straight lock portion
Sorry! I did do that, but the shackle remains the 'weakest' point. Cheers, John
@@bennettsbikesocial Thanks, great to know. The website doesn't even really cover the actual lock portion itself they only focus on shackle grinding so I'm trying to learn more about the whole unit. Appreciate your comment and info thx again.

Thanks for watching! Cheers, John
Great review, much better actually seeng the locks get tested than relying on the advertising. What chain are you using and do you have a video I can't find reviewing just chains alone? I've bought 2 of these X3 but now need to decided on a chain, most reviews I see though only cover bundled chain and lock combos.
Great job John. Out of interest, have you ever tested the Abus Granite Vario disclock? Wondering if I should upgrade mine as had it over 20 years but usually I use it with another cable lock as an extra layer
It doesn't ring a bell, buy I'm away at mo so can't check. Have a look at the product reviews on BikeSocial.co.uk. It sounds like you have a decent setup though. Cheers, John

Got to be done, or it's nothing more than fluff and b@ll@x! Cheers, John
Great video John!
Cleared up the issue to which lock will fit over my GS wheel. I prefer the look of the D1000 but if it won’t fit, it won’t fit. I will get the X3 moto 👍🏼
Also will you be doing a video on the super dooper anti pinch pin. I want to get one of these in conjunction with the 22mm chain. However can’t seem to order them yet
The Hiplok will pass through the holes in the hub, but the Litelok is a bit easier. A full written review of the Super Dooper Anti Punch Pin is ready to go, but I'm holding off until Pragmasis has them stocked. It's excellent!
Cracking video again John, hopefully run into you guys on the 24th at the NEC, a bus load of us are coming down from the Northeast, Teesside!
Great! Do come and say hi. Have a good trip down...

Hi John, great video as always. Would it be possible to tell me what noose chain you use?
That one's an 11mm Pragmasis noose chain. Cheers, John
Very interesting to see that a product actually does what it promises!
Although I didn’t quite understand one thing. What happens after the unsuccessful drill of the thief into the keyhole?
Would I still be able to open the lock by the key? Or I am stuck there with a broken lock?
Thanks for the test video John. I like that you cut from the top, so show how much it can be pried open. Once thieves realize the lock is too hard, they will cut the post ?
There's always a way to defeat anything, but the harder you make it, the more likely they'll pick on something else! Cheers, John
This was really informative, thanks for this, would be great if the locks wernt so expensive but I guess you get what you pay for.
Really Great Informative video and comparison! Is this overkill for an e-bike?
I'm just here (with my bottle of Aldi Magnum Premium) for John's heavy breathing! Cheers John 👍
Great Video
Any ideas on how to secure your Brembo calipers? It seems that some thieves are taking these brembos and reselling them.
Thank you for your video, looking for a lock for my new e-bike, I know this would be over kill but looks epic. If you have any other suggestions or recommendations for e-bikes I would be interested to know more. Thanks again brill vid.
Thanks! A lot of the locks I've reviewed might be suitable - I rarely do videos on them.www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/reviews/products/security
Great video as always, thanks John! I bought the Litelok X1 after having my old bike stolen in the summer, and was hoping for these results you showed!
Do you think it is better to have it over the wheel or through the disk and spokes?
It probably doesn't make a great deal of difference to be honest, though it's harder to attack the way I have it on the GS. Cheers, John
My advice: If possible, through the frame and to something stationary, but only if your bike frame is thick. Don't do it on a tubed frame bike. You may have to get a second u lock or thick chain (at least 19mm) to reach to the fixed object. If you're not able to do that, put it through the wheel and a fixed object.
And always chain your prized possession to something made of some type of metal or concrete, something heavy and stationary. Something that can't be easily moved.
And if possible, invest in motion detectors / alarms, GPS trackers, video cameras, etc.
For 180squid I built a metal posted secure fence around my bike with anchor and chain.
Looks brilliant if expensive. I imagine people from various countries watch these videos despite the content being more UK specific. It's worth pointing out that in some countries e.g. Spain it isn't legal to lock your bike to street furniture, and unlike the UK, motorcycle parking areas do not have anchors for securing the bike. As such everyone just relies on disc locks. Thought it's worth saying so those on tour don't end up with a ticket for chaining their bikes up.
Greetings from the US. Terrific lock with an even better review. Puts the "Fagetaboutit" to shame. Obviously, you get what you pay for.
Great video thanks!
I was thinking...these locks could be even thicker at the top where you attacked them lol, it won't create a fitting-problem while it would make an attack more problematic, so they would be forced to try to cut from the side BUT then they can't turn it so they have to cut twice... Great demo video!
It's nice to see them using Abloy lock mechanisms! They are seriously underrated outside Finland.
Thanks for this
Excellent video! 👍 what’s the name of the home security setting you show at minute 14:25? Many thanks!
Excellent video, John. I will be purchasing an X3 lock soon due to this. But was the brand of noose neck-chain you used to go along with it? Couldn't quite make it out when you lifted it.
That's a Pragmasis. Cheers, John
@@bennettsbikesocial Thank you, John.
Just received my pre order x3. Had to go through spokes on my Kawasaki Versys 1000. Won't fit around wheel. But I can't see any grinder getting in to cut the spoke with the lock in the way.
Hi many thanks for the awesome and very informative video. What make/model of noose chain would you recommend - many thanks in advance
Fantastic vid, thanks so much
Thanks for watching! Cheers, John
GREAT VIDEO AMAZING FANTASTIC ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Super video !
Just out of interest, what is the width of the x1 with the silicone sleeve removed. I have 106mm to play with to get it to go round my front wheel. Many thanks.
Amazing performance for this lock but many thiefs use a portable blow torch to "soften" the alloy. I had a motorbike stolen likewise with locks on both disc brakes, front and rear.
Hi so you would recommend the X3 over the Hiplock from a protection point of view ? thanks
Congrats, honest review! Could you consider make a review about the "Abus Granit Victory XPlus 68", please? Thanks. Cheers mate.
I'm away at the mo, so can't check my records, but have a look at the security product reviews on bikesocial.co.uk as I do most lock tests there, not on video. Cheers, John
Very useful. Thanks.
Great review again! Sooo, if someone has the D1000 should they get the X3? Should they replace the former for the latter? Or just add the latter as another layer of protection?
The D1000 is still a great lock. Adding more security of course helps, but there's no need to replace it if you have a good setup already
@@bennettsbikesocial - fantastic! thank you and best regards. I do hope that Bennetts will visit the Los Angeles area in the future. It would be great to learn the British and European perspective on motorcycles beyond TH-cam.
