Doesn’t matter, if someone has the time to bring an angle grinder, you damn sure know they are also bringing along a few spare blades. If your bike is locked up overnight, it’ll take 5 minutes to cut though, done.
If you want more fun, how about a series of videos starring your tool guy attempting to cut through everyday objects. I bet a sock will give him more trouble both with the croppers a well as the grinder.
If you aren’t fastening the bike to something then you might as well use a disc lock - it’s far more portable and just as difficult to remove. If you do have something solid to attach it to where it gets left daily, then a top box and a big fat chain does the job.
Until you realize they actually cut the brake disk. Not common I think but it does happen. Maybe more so with motorcycles though. Always attach your bike to something solid and use more than 1 lock. Using a disk brake in combination with a proper chain is good.
I Have an nice little disc break lock and its great on the go, but they will just cut through the disc itself bypassing the system entirely. abus granit 68 victory x-plus That is the disc break lock I use and it actually saved my mt07 last week. Amazinf design. But I noticed they couldn't effectively cut the lock as it independently spins in at least 3 places and has very awkward angles. So they just attacked my disc. For out and around town i would recommend that product though brilliant peoce of engineering.
As someone who had his ‘blade stolen last year (and has just bought a ‘new’ 1996 one) I think I’ll get one of these. Had an Almax series 3 on my bike that they angle grinded off
Hi Amo, I am very sorry to hear that your bike got stolen, I can definitely relate to this situation! We have a great range of lock and chains that can be found on our site: www.urbanrider.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=litelok - Iza
I doubt this is any more grinder resistant than an almax III chain, sadly. More likely it's less. Litelok X1 or especially X3 however are significantly more grinder resistant, reaching motorcycle diamond. And much lighter!
Sorry but looks like first angle grinder disk was destroyed not thank to the chain but due to not very good handling of the user. But i should say that this scenario is more closer to real world thief user. Because they will hurry and will be nervous and may lack of experience with tools as shown in video.
Looks fairly easy to cut with a anglegrinder. You want something much more solid, you would want chains from Protector or Almax chains, they are the best there is.
Why dont manufacturers coat chains or u locks with a soft metal such as aluminium, the metal will fill the pores of your grinding wheel and it will be unusable.
Below are some research videos for those that care. Though the locks in the videos below are different than what Urban Rider has here, and specifically in the LockPickingLawyer video. The founder reached out to The LockPickingLawyer and asked how he clip a Litelok so easily (which I feel is a positive sign of the company as a whole). If I were to guess, The LockPickingLawyer gave is feedback to Litelok and they got to work to create something more secure while keeping their design DNA and released what we see here in the Urban Rider video. It is really nice to see Litelok improve their locks after the first set of youtube videos (like the ones below) handing them a possibly bad rap.

Can anyone point to a video test of the bicycle size Litelok? I can't find anything on that at all. Rod Stieger with the tattoos did a good job with that grinder.
lockpickinglawyer got through the bicycle litelok gold in 16 seconds by using the proper type of cable cutters. Almost all their promo tests use either bolt cutters, or cable cutters only rated for copper wire.
That was the old version of it. I also saw that one. They have a much improved version of it now called Litelok Core Plus, just a little smaller than the motorcycle one in the video.
You don't say how many discs you used + by poor handling you broke some if not all of the discs anyway. So - would someone handling the angle grinder properly just cut through with one disc?
Put the lock on the bike, at least 12 in. off the ground. These vids showing the lock on the wheel leveraged against the ground are unrealistic clickbaiting.
I had a SHITElok core and cctv footage of 2 scrotes going through it in 30 sec with a bolt cutters and lifting my t7 so have even less faith now in the sold secure rating which is clearly a bullshit standard
Hey the guy cutting the lock off....Skip to 6:19 Slow the video down to .25 in the settings and watch what he does. He makes one cut then the disk jumps and he makes a second cut then he lifts his arm up to break the grinding wheel........What a sham this is
@@joelhooton2215 What was the point of conducting the test when A : They make two cuts and mess it up and B : they snap the disk in the process making the lock look as if it's lasted twice the survival time and thats my point... At least do it correctly

The Litelok U lock is even harder to cut! You need like 2 blades to cut off! Hiploc is the same! Best on the market.

D-lock much better as you can't bend it afterwards, which may force the thieves to cut twice
Ive got 3 chains, 3 disc locks (1 alarmed), brake lock (alarmed), tracker, and the x1 litelock d lock.
I did the "same"... 2 chains, 1 U , x2 bloc disk alarm, x2 Tracker , 1 techno globe alarm on my Ducat 🤞✌️

Not particularly portable though!
Are protector or Almax chains even better than Kryptonite NY Fahgeddaboutit chains or about equal?
Urban store Should bring to the store litelok x3 👐
Can you try a LITELOK CORE PLUS - Diamond standard
Also remember that if this lock is elevated and can’t be pinned to the ground with a foot, it becomes even more difficult to angle grind.
Hi
How many discs did it take to get through it and how long?
Cheers
The tool needed for this may be steel wire/cable cutters? I think bolt cutters were the wrong tool for testing
Should've used battery powered angle grinder to do the test.. just like what bike thieves would use.
I at least like to know if i get locked away from my bike that i can find a way to open it. an unbreakable lock would a horrible idea
Why dont manufacturers coat chains or u locks with a soft metal such as aluminium, the metal will fill the pores of your grinding wheel and it will be unusable.
Test the skunklok carbon plz. I don't see tests besides in house company test.
How many blades broke before yall were abke to cut through it?
I know from experience that high end tool steel is incredibly hard to grind. Surely the locks could be make with actu tungsten steel or something
Tool steel will cut similarly to ordinary [low carbon] steel - just have a good stream of sparks.
I have a disc lock with an alarm an Oxford screamer, if this had an alarm built in...would they even try to grind it?

Its very uncommon for bike security to be attacked by lock picking- its nearly always angle grinders.

Thieves will just have more than one angle grinder on them, only disadvantage is noise i guess
Show us the lock picking!!!
How long did it take to grind through it?
who ever is using the grinder, please stop put the grinder away and never touch a grinder again, your going to hurt yourself or someone around you
never shown the time it took to destroy this lock with a grinder, also need to use a battery grinder as thats what scummy low life thieves would use.

Yes, but how many people actually keep their chains at least 12 inches off of the ground?
They would just cut through the wheel and leave the lock.... 🤦🏾♂️
Dare you to send it to the lock picking lawyer.
A much better option than a heavy chain.

I'm sorry but you are using the wrong disk in your angle grinder 😞
Check out this clip in RUclips 😞
Almax series V Extreme CUT with a grinder

please use real world thief tools: battery tools !
I once saw a 'youth' in a hoody walk past a policeman in Hackney who did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, oh dear, guard things yourself.
Is it illegal to wear a "hoody" where you live?
How dare someone wear a hoodie...
