Motorcycle theft keeps rising, and battery angle grinders made the job faster. Hiplok built the DX1000 lock at 380 dollars and the Mega chain at 230 dollars to slow thieves down.
Testers did not cut the lock themselves. Online videos show grinders failing against the ceramic composite shackle. French lock picking champion Nicolas Florent could not pick it. The lock comes with three coded keys and a 12 digit key code for replacements.
The Mega chain uses 22 mm hardened steel links. It carries a Diamond rating from Sold Secure. The chain weighs over 27 pounds and stretches 4.25 feet. It suits garage use or transport in a truck. The DX1000 weighs 6 pounds. Riders can carry it. The 4 by 7 inch opening fits most wheels. A protective sheath and coating prevent scratches.
The keyhole has a rubber cover and recessed cylinder. The lock engages with a solid feel.
Total cost runs 610 dollars for lock and chain. Add an anchor and the price passes 1100 dollars. For riders who value security, that cost may make sense.
My two cents…
Motorcycle theft is climbing, because of course it is. Thank the rise of battery angle grinders that chew through locks like Pac Man on a power pellet. Hiplok answered with the DX1000 at 380 dollars and the Mega chain at 230, basically saying, fine, let us see you try.Testers skipped the demo, but the internet did not. Videos show grinders choking on the ceramic composite shackle. Even French lock picking champ Nicolas Florent struck out. Three coded keys, a 12 digit code, details matter.The chain is a 27 pound steel beast with Diamond rating cred. Total tab hits 610 dollars, north of 1100 with anchor. Pricey. So is replacing your bike.
