Lightweight motorcycle security specialists LiteLok have unveiled their latest product, the Core Moto. Rather than aiming to be impervious to attack, the LiteLok is intended to be as secure as possible while also being convenient to carry.
The new Core Moto uses a Boaflexicore Plus strap with multiple layered protection, braided outer sleeve, plant-based polymer shock absorbent layer, hardened aerospace grade steel exoskeleton and high-tensile steel core.
Bit of a mouthful but that means that it manages a Sold Secure Motorcycle Gold rating and meets the ‘Police Preferred Specification’ of Secured by Design. And if that’s not impressive enough, it also won a Red Dot Design Award 2021 for "perfectly meeting the requirements for a security lock that is simultaneously lightweight while offering the most effective protection possible against theft."
"On-the-go motorcycle security can be cumbersome and usually involves carrying a heavy chain to secure a bike," say LiteLok. "An alarming number of motorcyclists choose not to bother carrying a heavy chain and therefore don’t lock up their bikes when they are out and about on the road."
The unit’s inline locking mechanism is click-to-lock - meaning you only need the key to open it - while the hardened steel lock casings contain a pick-resistant disc detainer-style lock. The rivets are drill-resistant stainless steel and the lock has been tested to -40°C to make sure that it can withstand a freeze-style attack.
The Core Moto weighs just 2.5kg, which LiteLok say is 50% lighter than comparable chains and like their Moto 108 lock, it can be paired with another unit with the same key to extend the length or lock multiple bikes.
Pricing for the Core Moto starts at £149.99 and it’s available in two lengths and three colours.
