Product news: With the Hiplok DXF, the British bicycle lock manufacturer is launching a high-security U-lock with a frame mount. For this purpose, the company combines the DX U-lock, which is already in the range, with a newly developed holder that can be screwed directly to the mounting points of the bottle holder.
The Hiplok DXF combines the award-winning DX U-lock with a new frame mount for quickly attaching the lock to the bike. The company's own "CLIP+RIDE" system used for this is not only intended to guarantee the user a rattle-free and reliable recording of the DX U-lock, but also quick access. Mounting the holder on the bike is also very uncomplicated. The mount bolts directly to the bottle cage mounting points with two screws. With this, the British manufacturer bypasses one of the main problems with existing D-Lock mounts, which are difficult to install and can become loose while driving.
“We're always looking for ways to address the practical challenges of deploying the strongest bike security products. Our goal is to create the best frame mount U-lock that is easiest to install and use. I think we've achieved that with the DXF.” – Ben Smith, co-founder of Hiplok
The Sold Secure Gold Bicycle certified DX lock for securing the bike against theft has a 14 mm shackle made of hardened steel and a double locking mechanism. According to the information, the lock and bracket together weigh around 1160 grams, 1000 grams of which are for the lock. The Hiplok DXF high-security U-lock with frame bracket is available at a price of EUR 89,90 and is sold by Sports Nut GmbH.
