Litelok X3 bike lock review: an exceptionally well-rounded angle grinder-resistant lock that perfectly balances weight, reach and security

Litelok X3 locking a Fazua e-bike to a bike rack.

The Litelok X3 is an angle grinder-resistant lock with an enviable pedigree. The brand was a pioneer of this technology, launching the X1, our outgoing best bike lock, just over two years ago. From its inception, the X1 prompted a significant revolution in bicycle lock technology, a drive towards enhanced security that Onguard, Abus, and Hiplock have also adopted. The result was a collection of new products that we at Cycling Weekly have been excited to test rigorously.

Two years on, the Litelok X1's five-time resistance to angle grinders is no longer as competitive as it was. Enter the Litelok X3, which boasts a claimed twenty times more resistance than the best-selling U-locks and is rated Sold Secure Diamond for bicycles and e-bikes.
