Bike theft stats are the kind of data I don't enjoy digging into. The last national tally reported roughly 150,000 bikes stolen in the U.S. in one year, totaling around $148 million in losses, but that's only what gets reported. Some studies into the matter estimate the real number of stolen bikes is several times higher. It's a bleak reminder that a good lock isn't optional; it's the barrier between you and becoming part of an unfortunate statistic.

So, can these locks be cut? Yes, they can be cut with an angle grinder, and videos demonstrate just that. However, these videos also show that it takes significantly longer to cut through a Litelok X1 or X3 than another comparable lock. For example, the video below shows a competitor's lock cut through with an angle grinder in 15 seconds. An attempt to cut through the Litelok X3 takes 25 minutes, several cut-off wheels, and is ultimately unsuccessful.
