LITELOK X3

In general I'm satisfied that these are the strongest locks on the market. But I have a couple issues. Both locks are difficult to unlock at times. The key has to fit exactly in the correction position and it's difficult to know where that is in order to unlock them. I bought 2 and there's no way to know which key goes to which lock without trial and error. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the shackles are barely long enough to go around the frame of my bike. I have a mountain bike with moderate width tires (2.6") and the frame with shocks on the front barely allows closure of the lock. There's not sufficient length to go around a pole or any thing like a bike rack.

I have been a motor cyclists for almost 55 years and a cyclists for even longer. I have owned many motorcycles over the years and many bikes. Although I have never had a bicycle stolen (probably because I have never had one worth stealing🤣), I have had a motorcycle stolen which was never recovered. I recently bought a new motorcycle and two new ebikes and was looking for a strong lock which I could use for my motorcycle and the ebikes when needed. We holiday a lot in our motor home and take the ebikes with us so I wanted a D lock that would supplement the security we already had to secure to the RV when not in use, and to use when we were out and about to secure if we went walkabout. Having researched what was available, and particularly after watching videos of various locks being tested, the LITELOK X3 stood out head and shoulders above the rest and was clearly the strongest lock on the market so I decided to order one. These are expensive, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. I could have bought a D lock from a supermarket for £5 and if your bike cost £30 that might do but not when your bike costs 100 times more than that, and you have bought 2! We needed the best available. I am delighted with my purchase; a quality piece of kit which is apparent as soon as you take it out of the box. Substantial, very high quality, well engineered and with a fantastic Abloy lock. Also, the quality neoprene case is useful when carrying the lock. I have not had the…

This locker is as expected.

However the low cost plastic bag used to pack both boxes with the flexible mount is not adapated at all given the weight and the cost of it. From a company claiming you make high security products to prevent from thief, I would expect at least a rigid and secured box. Given the weight of the parcel, when I collected it, the poor plastic bag was worn , high suspicion it was made intentionnally open to check the content. I would at least expect the cost of tansport to be credited back.

My bike is worth more than my car. We are traditionally off-road riders and when I was invited on a special city adventure, I almost passed due to not wanting to leave my bike unattended. I did some research found Litelok reviews by third party testers and thought this is my only option. When the lock arrived I was impressed with the strength, design & functionality. It is not light, this is a given but there really isn't an option. Still working on how to attach it someplace on the Specialized Turbo Levo, had to ride with it in a pack. However, the lock is everything I expected and I am happy to have it.
