#RAD RUNNER BIKES UPDATE#

The Litelok just feels like it has a better balance between security, usability and price. It’s also a lot heaver than the Litelok X1, it doesn’t come with a frame mount for easy transport, and it’s significantly smaller, which means it may not be suitable for many cyclists. And it’s undoubtedly the strongest bike lock on the market at the moment.īut it’s eye-wateringly expensive. So why isn’t the Hiplok D1000 my top pick this year? Well, it’s a great lock. And it’s not as secure as the Hiplok D1000, which took nearly 2.5 times as long to cut once in my tests. My Litelok X1 was initially tricky to lock (although this was quickly fixed with an easy DIY hack). So locks like the Litelok X1 and the Hiplok D1000, which can resist such attacks, are very much needed.

Up until now, no bike lock could withstand more than a minute against an angle grinder. Why? Because the Litelok X1 is one of the only bike locks that offers any kind of protection against thieves wielding cordless angle grinders!Īngle grinder attacks have become depressingly common in recent years, and in some towns and cities it feels like they’re the most common method of stealing the bikes that aren’t secured with flimsy cable locks. The best all round bike lock in 2023 is the Litelok X1. With that in mind, I recommend 6 of the best bike locks below, based on their security level and my user tests.īut if none of them seem quite right for you, don’t worry! After these picks, I’ll show you the three simple steps (including a quick quiz to determine your risk level), that will guarantee you find the perfect bike lock for your needs. And I've been testing bike locks and writing about bicycle security since 2015, so I know what I'm talking about! Usability is something that’s often overlooked when it comes to testing and reviewing bike locks.īut I'd say that this balance between strength and practicality is essential. The secret to success is choosing a lock that’s both secure enough to protect your bike and easy enough to use on a daily basis. And the wrong decision can have disastrous consequences! Ready to go find the fun? The RadRunner 2 is in stock now and ready to ship.Finding the best lock for your bicycle can be tricky.
