“Loop chain light enough to carry and have confidence regarding the bike's security especially by pairing it with two DX1000 locks. Very reasonable price however, would be nice to have the slightly thicker loop chain for the DX1000 though.”
Thanks for leaving us a review, we're happy to hear you're finding the X CHAIN reliable and that it's working well with your DX1000 locks! We also appreciate your feedback on the loop thickness and will take it into consideration for future versions.
“It seems pretty secure but is way lighter than the XL Chain(possibly light enough to carry if needed?). I like the chain link shapes at the ends to allow for multiple options for lock up. I use it with a U-lock and the XL for extra security locking bikes to my car's rack. It's well made and the fabric wrap seems well made and is tough.”
“I ride a R+M Load4 75, and it is difficult to find a serious lock that will work with it. The combination of the DX1000 through the rear triangle and wheel along with the X chain gives me peace of mind that my bike won’t easily sprout legs and wander off. Without this chain, you either have to use a monstrously heavy motorcycle chain or alter the rubber sheath to fit a smaller chain on.”
“The Hiplock D1000X is a serious piece of kit. It has presence and heft. To be honest I don’t know how long it will take to surrender to an angle grinder. A determined thief will take your bike eventually I feel.
But it’s very solid. Well made and gives me a feeling of security especially when used with a decent chain and attached to a pistol or another bike.”
“The two large end-loops mean it's extremely easy to get any u-lock through it without any forethought: just grab either end, push the other end through, and whatever loop is at the free end of the chain is available to put your u-lock through (and pretty much any u-lock will fit through it). The chain folds up fairly small, given it's Sold Secure Gold, so it's probably attained the upper limit of usability of a portable, secure chain. Great design.”
