Every cyclist dreads the moment they come back to where they locked up their bike—only to find it missing. For Brandon, a cyclist in downtown Toronto, Ontario, that fear could have become a reality. But thanks to the LITELOK X1, the Xfixie Liberté bike is still safely in Brandon’s hands.
"LITELOK recently saved my bike from an angle grinder attack"
On the morning of Thursday, April 10, around 6AM, Brandon had parked his $1000 bike on a city sidewalk using a standard bike parking apparatus. No extra chains, no secondary locks—just the LITELOK X1. He left it there while heading into the gym, like he had many times before.
When Brandon returned, something was different.
"I left my bike parked on the sidewalk to go to the gym and when I came out, I noticed thieves attempted to steal my bike. There were 2 attempts to cut the lock using an angle grinder and neither cut was successful thanks to the Litelok."
Despite two separate attempts to grind through the LITELOK X1, the lock held strong. No stolen bike. Just visible signs of a failed theft and one very relieved rider.
"I am actually a proud Litelok user!"
In a world where determined thieves are becoming more aggressive and well-equipped, having gear that goes the extra mile matters.
