“Good lock, very secure. I like the rubbery coating though this is only on the D shaped part, the base is hard plastic. It fits around my front tyre but not the back as I had hoped but that is fine. So far so good, good lock mechanism and I haven't been robbed so it's doing it's job. Hopefully I never get to see how it holds up to a grinder attack but plenty of reviews have reassured me that it should be good.”
“I was due to travel the same week i was last minute hunting for a premium lock, only to find everywhere had sold out of the Hiplock DX1000. I contacted Hiplock direct and expalained i was due to travel this coming week and needed a lock urgently, they to were out withstock due in 2/3 weeks, but the ldy i spoke to said, she would see if she could get me one of their waranty replacement stock (stock that is kept back for any warranty replacement locks) which is what they did and sent it out for next day delivery. They were first class as is the lock, very happy indeed.”
“A good lock for my triumph bonneville T100. It fits over the front wheel with room to spare and has a very easy mechanism for quick locking/unlocking. The Matt black colour looks very good but is not particularly noticeable as a deterrent to potential thieves. I was also disappointed that at this price point it did not come with any kind of a lock reminder as was suggested by the pictures on the website.”

“Using the lock is difficult everytime I use it, it appears to need to be compressed from both the U side of the lock and the locking piece, as well as having the key turned, not easy without a third hand! The locking part seems to be the weak point in an otherwise decent product, when the rain is hammering down and it takes you minutes and minutes to finally get the key to turn and the product locked, you actually think about not locking your bike and dealing with it later. This is a shortcut to getting your bike stolen! I have numerous locks some that are a 10th of the price, with good keys and easy to operate locks, its alarming how expensive this is, let down by seemingly a illsuited lock, I have already bent one of the slightly flimsy feeling keys in the lock trying to get the thing locked up. I would say avoid this lock unless you have a lot of time to get the lock in exactly the right position to close it.”
