An implausibly well-equipped thief might then turn to cable cutters, but the sheer size of the cable bundle inside still makes this an impractical attack method. This can be cut quite easily with bolt croppers, but then the dense cable inside defeats even the 42” tool. The new Litelok Core Moto can’t be defeated with cable cutters due to its steel outer shell. The equipment needed for this isn’t commonly a feature of UK thefts, but it was still a potential vulnerability and I do use these tools in my attack testing. Litelok was keen to highlight the original model’s resistance to a bolt-cropper attack being a cable-based design this was no surprise as croppers just squash the strands, rather than shearing them, but click-hungry social-media channels were quick to highlight a potential weakness in the original Litelok in that specialist, heavy duty cable cutters could bite their way through it quietly. The Core Moto could be passed around the waist or slung over the shoulder, but shouldn’t be as it could cause injury during a crash it’s designed to roll up and be tucked in luggage or strapped to the rear seat. With a removable, washable neoprene sleeve and a rubber-covered body, your bike’s paintwork is well protected, while the locking pin comes with a rubber cover that snaps in place to avoid damaging anything it might hit. The Core Moto is secured with a 9.5mm pin that’s concealed in the body when snapped shut – a process that doesn’t require the keys to be inserted (three of which are supplied). The Missenden Flyer was sponsored by Litelok, and didn’t carry out any destructive testing during his video. At the time of writing (the first chance I had to get a lock), ‘ The Best Bike Lock ’ still only had a preview of the Core Moto on its site, not a full review. Quotes used in the Kickstarter campaign (which raised £210,568 from 1,516 backers) might have caused some confusion among potential buyers the Litelok Core is BICYCLE Diamond-approved, which does not include an angle-grinder test. A lack of understanding of the standards among some riders – compounded by sponsored influencer videos – can make the buying choice confusing.Īt £149.99 for the 1.25m version tested here, or £179.99 for a 1.5m model, the lock’s available with an orange, red or black sleeve. While the new Litelok Core Moto addresses the cable cutter issue, its certification to Sold Secure Motorcycle Gold doesn’t answer the question of whether it’s more resistant to an angle-grinder attack, as only Motorcycle Diamond-rated products are subjected to this level of testing. While the original design was vulnerable to a heavy-duty cable-cutter attack, this isn’t the most common tool in a UK thief’s arsenal a portable angle grinder is more likely to be used.
