Tougest Bike Locks to Protect Your Ride 

All Hiploks are currently on sale till the 27th of May - 25% off. jo.my/hiplok

I've destruction tested the Hiplok D1000, the new - much larger - DX1000, the Litelok X1 and X3, the Abus Granit Super Extreme 2500 and the SkunkLock Carbon. I won't post the link here, but shout if you'd like it. Cheers, John

Hiplok has the DX1000, same design as the D1000, but significantly larger. The DX1000 size is very similar to the Skunklock is more expensive. The DX1000 cost $50 more than the D1000. I don't carry my locks on my commuter bike so weight isn't important. I leave my locks on the bike stand where I lock it every workday. I use a large chain lock, two U-locks and one cable lock. Even with the power tools it will take a significant amount of time to cut all the locks.

Abus recently released the GRANIT SUPER EXTREME 2500. It appears to be their response to the current generation of angle grinder resistant bike/motorcycle locks. As of today, I have not seen anyone put this new lock to the angle grinder test.

The moment when you buy a lock that is heavier than your bicycle. When you leave your bike on a public place with a lot of people you don't need the best lock. Nobody turns up with a grinder when the bicycle is placed in front of a restaurnt full of people even if the grinder needs only 30 seconds to cut through. People here in Switzerland would call he police or even talk to the guy/girl. That happened to me when I had to cut off my bike because the key had broken off.

I use a U lock plus a brake disk lock with an alarm.

Kryptonite were the go to for bicycle security but where is their grinder resistant lock?

Carbon does not give of a smell. Thats their other lock. Carbon is angle grinder resistant..

I use the Abus Bordo 6500k. Good enough for me for the last 3 years.

Can you do a review on the SeatyLock Mason 300, please

Lpl used his specialty tool on the skunk lock and picked it in about 30 seconds

D1000 is really cool but so expensive and heavy...

I use Abus chain lock, extreme X plus 12 mm. the higest secure lock (20 out of 20) in Europe, weight almost 4 kg.

It does not help to have a bomb proof lock if it is locked to something that is easy to cut. One time I saw a box car parking outside a local train station (with lots of surveillance cameras around, they did not care) and two guys coming out with angle grinders and cutting both ends of a bike rack and just lifting the whole rack with all the bikes attached into the back of the box car, and driving off.

What about the Abus locks? I've got multiple of them. When I go camping and have to store my bike outside I normally use a minimum of 5 locks, all top grade ABUS locks 2 chains and 3 U locks. always unto something solid. It even deters me as the owner with keys in hand to unlock the bike. It is a game to lock it as best as possible too.

Lockpickinglawyer did do a video of picking the skunk lock

Don't think the skunklock "carbon" has any gas.

The D1000 uses a pin tumbler lock, making it the easiest to pick. Looks like the others at least use disc tumblers.

Have to lock it to something substantial

A lot of riders like the disc lock with motion alarm. I haven't tried it. I prefer to use a more light duty approach, assuming a dedicated and professional thief is going to get by whatever 300 dollar lock system I could use. A lighter and easier to use system like handgrip locks should deter the "not so serious" thief. Insurance companies charge high rates to cover the replacement value of a stolen bike, so as long as you can prove you made some attempt to secure it, you shouldn't have any issues with a claim.

I take off wheels& put in shopping cart when i can.

Looking at the product page for the SkunkLock Carbon, they don't say anything about giving off a smell like their chemical locks. You may want to change or add a disclaimer to you video.

I have a LITELOK X1...Also,in your intro you said the cutting time for the FORGETABOUTIT was around 2 minutes...You should of said 10 SECONDS !!!!! Ha!

How about Abus Super Extreme?

Soon enough thieves will catch on and just cut whatever the bike is locked to instead of trying to cut these grinder resistant bike locks.

BACKPACK END ALL: Bakpacks arent subjective they have a resounding epicenter 1st & subjective that comes 2nd. In other words all backpacks in thworld should start with this.

To short to clamp it to anything ,rediculous

*BIKE SEATS END ALL:* "Turbo saddles wr king. Hard seats better." Not so fast: Best cushion ever made was humans muscle. Dogs foot under thin elastic skin. High thread count tire carcass deform waaay better over road reduce vibration transmitted 2bike/gigantic energy lost. Knobby tires will average 8mph on a 30 miler fireroads over a mt. Where slicks will average 12mph. Few people evr experience such LOWEST roll resistance tires. Parts that (actually) wrk = big money they keep u on endless tire shopping spree knobbie tread goose chase. Tire shall be slick period. Demons turn engineering in2 endless merry go round new&improve sucker bait. Yr engineers wr 2dumb2get it right th1st time? Ah i see. They deliberately engineer hidden demons. Keeps next new factory stocked. Try a plastic or carbon flexi carcass saddle mirrors Brooks with silicone gel over thin hard foam topped with elastic polished thin shiny leather or vynil shade net. Clear silicone = highest quality gel. 95% "gel" saddles corrupt deliberately compromised dry porous "gel." Not all silicones pure either. Just as days'v Noah 80% humans nephilem spirits = demons Satan place in human body with Hadron Collider hive mind cmouter cntrolled = yr corrupt goose chase merry go products they magicians cmpared2 u. Reptilian angels cntrol all demons. Your solar system used2b heaven. Satan: Jesus elder brother ruled creation u live in false reality he rule with cmputer. Can hack reality. People curse defective products those curses pwrful prayers if any1 rip u off simply send angel 2that cmpany. Seats shud be quick release like click in pedals. Just like when I designed brake lever shifter Dual Control 4Shimano overnight incinerated shifting wrldwide hasnt been improve evr or since. My Dual Control I built in garage 80g would last lifetime 10 parts counting washers. Shimano: Cost fortune heavy as a tank gadjillion teeny parts utterly impossible repair roadside. Gel: I had REAL gel seat, then every1 i got after was lousy corrupt "gels" bcuz gels WORKED. Asians: Predominantly Satans DIRECT DNA when he mate with Adams1st wife Lilith who had almond eyes. Asian culture admit: They descend from dragon (Jesus elder brother.) Who still serves Yahweh lol& puts all who reject Yahweh in h*ll. Burning his kids is a FOOD 2him. Theez Asians think he gonna bless thm. (Yahweh turn Halayel ("Satan") in2 humanoid scaled black snake with wings = now he cant mate anymore (Genesis 3:15.) = He why he preserve his bloodlines2 oppresses others. Satan putting all his biblical tare race in h*ll now. People'v become label humps specifications eliterate utterly disgustingly imbecile its terrifying they want chocolates& flowers advertising. Whatever caters 2their dillusional version of reality gut feel like Ed Van Halen did with his 1st Tesco Del Rey bells& priddy looking whistles guitar like we ALL do when day1 batsht novices. Ed had a brain& a good1 he learned = Ed built his own guitar. He knew better Satans a$$holes designed them ones on th shelvz. Get back 2square1. A Bicycle: Point A point B straighline carry sduff. Just as MUCH sduff as possible. Period. = Must be STRONG STRONG STRONG perfect ONLY handling. = NOT a$$up bent way over2narrow bars whippy spaghetti tube flexi frame. Handling: Low CG wide stable triangulation bars not thdiametric opposite = 10speed "road" bikes with deadly teeny tiny itsy bitsy yellow polkadot 160psi tires rolling under horrificaly crippling dangerous ergonomics narrow bars& sphaghetti flexi frame members. ALL road (motorcycles( shud look like a SUPERMOTO = epicenter motorcyle. *& bicycles MT. BIKE ONLY. Back in thday Lucifers kids used racing& hero appeal glorify/decieve shthed idiots in2 humping worst piece of cycling engineering evr worshipped that killed crippled millions while crippling ergonomics = road bikes. Satan HATES bicycles cuz they free energy deletes his money so he glorified idionic 10 speed. Perverted Mt. Bike racerboy concept however made bikes handle be durable light& STRONG. Big thank u 2them. People are idiots cant connect dots 4got thquestion manufactures quick2hump theez clowns made gut feel racerboys they president. I am not a race I'm a worldleader&bicycle = point&shoot carry sduff on safest ergonomicaly PERFECT bike built2last a lifetime. Motocross/supwrmoto bike = perfect riding position. Modern Turbo saddles: Best saddles of our modern era. Very thin hence highly elastic leather over foam FIRM foam. Leather is great. But when used wearing SILICONE gel shorts u could go 3 centuries on that hard little Turbo. Gel done correctly is king not Brooks rawhide Cow skin: Varies in quality4godsakes just use a piece of any# STABLE gadgillion choices u have in plastic. All a Brooks saddle is is a piece of rawhide engineered 2mimic plastic. "Oh but it conforms sooo perfectly 2 yr own anatomy" lol so does plastic minute u sit on it = what a car tire doing a gadgillion times a mile whole Brooks cult snobbery thing a liddle batsht looney somem1 ask "Do Brooks saddle get heavier in thrain?" Ofcourse they do they a 3/16 " leather sponge. Even if u treat top, water gonna splash up from bottom soak yo a$$ &that sponge of a seat. When i leave leather glove in rain = bad it begin digest th leather = tear easier. Brooks state: "No, Brooks saddles should not get heavier rain because they should not be ridden when wet. However, if Brooks saddle does get wet, it can be allowed to air dry naturally will be fine. Riding Brooks saddle during heavy showers or storing direct sunlight or heat for long periods can damage the leather. Likewise, the material we use will not be affected by rain. Cambium saddles are also available in a carved version for riders who seek to reduce pressure on the perineum or desire a more flexible saddle." Again put some silica gel over thin flexy durable plastic topped with 5mm glued on dense memory foam cover. Use 2 - 3 layers durable material say 2mm uv stable vynil shade net u will have th overwhelming epicenter of all saddles. There always1 in every crowd: Any1 saying "it doesnt wrk!" in comments = same "always subjective" person sdarting an alternate reality company with a few thousand people always willing2 5star Amazon review lunacy.

People are idiots - focusing on toughness, thickness, weight of material! All of these are easily lock-picked!

$300 for a lock is ridiculous when i only paid $550 for the Ebike
