Diamond-rated cycle lock up for grabs

As the cost of living crisis bites, and with no prospect of a decrease in cycle theft rates, it's more important than ever to protect your bike. We don't believe a lock can replace the need for a good cycle insurance policy, no matter its strength, but a new class of cycle lock recently entered the market. Sold Secure, the independent organisation that tests and grades locks, has added Diamond to its existing Gold, Silver and Bronze - ratings assigned based on their ability to resist attack by a thief.

Guy McCafferey the Sold Secure Lab manager told bikelockwiki.com: “Sold Secure Diamond Products offer attack resistance against a higher complete tool list (aimed at preventing the highest motivated attacks)”. For comparison, the Sold Secure Gold rating offers: “theft resistance against a higher selected tool list (aimed at preventing dedicated attacks).”

At 1098g, the Hiplok DX is one of lightest diamond-rated bike locks and its distinctive 'clip ride system' makes it easy to carry.

• Double Dead Lock

• Patented Clip + Ride System
• Diamond Sold Secure
• 3 X Coded Replaceable Keys
• Weight: 1098g
