Litelok

DMC are using these. Gold standard approved. Light and very strong.

I might get one. There'll be useful for traveling. You can pack it away and they're lighter than most locks.

They are incredibly easy to cut BUT they've very portable. I'd use it when out and about but I wouldn't want it as my main protection

Big wire cutters, I saw one video where the Litelok cut like cheese, another where it couldn't be cut.

The litelok gold is the pushbike version AFAIK.

That video is 2 years old. They didn't do the Motorcycle version then.

It was just a suggestion. Looked like a good product to take with your when you're touring.

That first video is nearly 3 years old. The lock has been uprated since then. Like kwacky's ays its not something for home use but it does seem useful whilst out on tour or out for a long day.

At the end of the first video he does give credit to Litelok for contacting him to ask how he cut it so easily so the newer version is probably a result of that and some further development.

I would trust it for an out and about lock but haven't bought one as yet,

It's useful if you've stopped at the shops.

The core moto one worries me because that type of mechanism can't withstand much separation force. Essentially if they can start the bike and accelerate at speed it will likely fail.

I'd definitely suggest watching some of LPLs videos though.. he's a genius
