How LITELOK Products Are Tested - Testing Overview
Testing
"How we test our products."
LITELOK locks are designed for high risk areas to protect every ride type: e-scooters, bikes, e-bikes, motor scooters and motorbikes.
Each lock is independently tested to withstand sustained attack from common theft tools including angle grinders, hammer and chisels, hacksaws, crowbars, cordless drills and bolt croppers, achieving Sold Secure Bicycle, Sold Secure Motorcycle and ART standards.
All products are manufactured to last, and rigorously tested during development and continuous improvement against corrosion, fatigue and long-term use to exceed industry standards.
LITELOK X
"At Litelok, we take pride in ensuring the utmost security and reliability of our products, exemplified by the rigorous testing procedures applied to both the Litelok X1 and Litelok X3. Through a comprehensive series of tests, encompassing durability assessments, strength evaluations, and real-world simulations, we strive to exceed industry standards and deliver unparalleled protection for cyclists and their valuables."

LITELOK Technology - The Innovation & Tech Behind Our Locks
Our Technology
"Made from tough stuff." Every LITELOK combines patented technologies with high quality components.
- Original, light and flexible products feature Boaflexicore® or Boaflexicore Plus®, creating flexible yet extremely strong bike and motorcycle locks.
- The latest technology is Barronium®, giving the LITELOK X range resistance to angle grinder attacks and other common methods of attack.
Barronium® (anti-angle-grinder technology)
Barronium® is a fused composite armour offering angle grinder resistance without adding extra weight. 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.
Used in the LITELOK X range, including LITELOK X1 and LITELOK X3.
