Answers the most annoying question: How do we carry it around?
Hiplok is not only known for their trustworthy and aesthetically designed locks, they are also often called the 'most practical lock manufacturer'. Based on customer reviews, the Hiplok Original's most loved feature is its wearability, making one almost forget that it is around the waist. It also features a removable, washable sleeve which protects the frame from scratches.
Our recommendation
Designed for riders who don't want to carry a bag just for their lock, who are not satisfied with weak and awkward frame mounts and who don't want to drag a heavy metal object on their lightly built bike. We recommend to Original not only for quick errands in town, but also for longer periods of storage.
Unique keys with a complex lock
All Hiplok locks feature a complex locking mechanism and ‘Sidewinder’ laser-cut keys which are incredibly difficult to duplicate. Each lock comes with a set of 3 keys and their unique ID number which you can register on Hiplok’s website. Should you lose all your keys, a new set can be remanufactured and shipped based on your registration.
How secure? Awarded Silver Security Level by Sold Secure.
The 13 mm hardened steel shackle is well above the industry average. Rated Silver by Sold Secure, it provides resistance against an extensive tool list (each tool being used multiple times) for a minimum of 3 minutes, resulting in a great value for its price. It is recommended to lock not only most components on the bike, but that the chain does not reach the ground so body weight can not be used with a bolt cutter.
Weight: 1,8 kg
Such a weight it neither heavy nor light, but considering its security rating, 1,8 kg is considered a great number. Strapped around the waist, it is barely noticeable.
Is it theft-proof?
No one will ever promise that, anything can be cut with the appropriate tool, and as long as time and noise are not considered. Our aim is to make theft look very difficult, noisy and obvious. The Hiplok Original is going to make theft very difficult indeed.
Locking length: 85cm
Among Hiplok’s chain locks, the Original is the most popular due to is length and security rating. Featuring a patented wearable design, it allows the rider to adjust it to fit their waist between 71 – 112 cm without locking it to them. Should you wish to lock multiple bikes together, we recommend you check out Hiplok’s longer chain locks.
Are you looking for extra protection? Make your bolts secure with Hexlox.
Protection all over your bike: saddle, seat clamp, front and rear wheels, fork, stem, just to name a few components commonly stolen. Hexlox is a small magnetic piece mechanically paired with its own key. Insert the Hexlox into the bolt head of the component you wish to secure, making it impossible for anyone with only a regular hex wrench to remove it.
What do we have against frame mounted locks?
Frame mounts that are often included with a bike lock are awkward and ill-fitted. It is difficult to create one that universally fits all frame designs out there, one that is strong enough to keep in place a heavy, metal piece so far from the bike’s center of gravity, one that prevents the lock rattling on various road surfaces. Instead of a large, heavy, often noisy addition to your bike, Hiplok offers its wearable locks as an alternative solution. At BoodaBike, we use quality components to build our bikes as light as possible with a clean and simple design – and we wear our locks on our belts!
