- A quick unboxing look at the Litelok X1. This D-lock has a secret compound, Barronium fused to the steel core. This is designed to increase the amount of time a thief has to spend cutting through your lock with an angle grinder.
Check out our preview on the link below. We'll put up a review soon.

You know how to set up the twist and go mount? kinda stumped
Hi, take a look at;
support.litelok.com/kb/litelok-x/how-to-use-the-x1-twist-and-go-mount
they have videos detailing how it works. Good luck!
In case anyone comes across this comment later: If you pause the second video in the link that was posted at 12 seconds you can kind of see how they are attached. But the trick seems to be that _only_ the two loose straps are attached through the holes, while the thing with two straps on it is supposed to sit completely on the outside (and those two straps shouldn't go through the holes at all, in any way), back-to-back with the main part.
Hello,
Do you find the code etched on your key shaft for register ?
Thanks
HI, I haven't looked, but I will and will ley you know what I find!
Yes, it's etched onto the metal shaft of the key. Mine is a 7 character code
Thanks @@Cycletechreview 😀
Looking at purchasing this lock, how is the locking mechanism holding up? Is it still smooth or is the key getting jammed? Thanks
Hi James,
it's still going well. Although it is only being used in my mostly dry garage now. All my bikes are chain locked together at all times, so the lock is constantly being used, at least once a day and no jams.
You do have to make sure you fully insert the key and that the shackle is fully in place, if it isn't sometimes the key will only half turn, but making sure the shackle is all the way in solves the problem.

It seems to be a solid lock, but unfortunately it rattles very loudly within its holder when riding over bumpy ground.
I sent this video (ua-cam.com/video/YGSPQXZ_t8Q/v-deo.html) to the Liteok-Support and they said, that this is a normal behavior and they will not exchange it:
"Our engineer has assured us that there is some movement built into the product itself which is required for smooth operation of the lock, and to ensure it securely locks every time. This appears as an audible noise in every D-Lock..."
So I send the lock back and bought an ABUS!
Can imagine the rattle is annoying, but abus doesnt have any good locks. Nothing that even remotely stands up to an anglegrinder. They probably have no interest in it either, people have to keep buying their expensive locks that can be cut through in 15 sec. Maybe the coming of the three only proper locks (D1000, x1 and x3 will finally make them produce a safe lock. That goes for all the other companies too of course. With all their resources they never managed to build a proper anglegrinder resistant lock? That's either incompetance, laziness or done on purpose.
Disc detainer lock can be picked easy. I would of got the one with abloy sentry disc lock.
This lock? abolute nonsense.
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I can see this taking more time to cut through granted, with a decent angle grinder, than for a Kryptonite with a 16mm. Apples to apples though, same conditions, perhaps this would take 4-8 minutes compared to the Krypto being a percentage less, maybe 3-5 minutes. The thing is assuming $180 for this compared to $65 for what I paid for a New York Kryptonite, it's kind of hard to rationalize that for the degree of improvement.
Hi @derekjolly3680 ! I haven't attempted to cut my one yet as I'm still using it! However after some googling I came across a motorcycle site that had tested it to destruction. He found that a 240v portable disc-cutter didn't have enough torque and kept jamming. A mains powered one did, after one and a half discs. Link to the article below. Hope that's of some use?

It's really sick what can be done to them with these power tools. This new one you showed with the compound around it is interesting to me. But part of my thinking is that the people who have more of a need for the extra resistance with those shackles would be the bike owners who keep them locked outside overnight more than anyone else. The thieves are going to need to have a fair amount of dark and privacy with the expectation of people in bed. I'd like to think that that isn't what most of us do. The bikes are either garaged or kept inside an apartment. I also think that one could assume a large degree of variation regarding what kind of an angle grinder the guy has, how much power, the battery, how worn his blades are, his skill at it, etc. No question though, that is an impressive lock!
