Quality locks don't come cheap but the Diamond-rated Litelok X1 is now on offer for Cyber Monday - hurry, this deal will expire soon!

Bicycle theft is a problem that doesn’t seem to be going away. I’m genuinely reluctant to lock up my bike but at times it’s necessary. My preference is to combine one of the best U-locks with an additional cable for added security. And when it comes to decent U-locks Litelok’s X1 is about as good as it gets.

Unsurprisingly this high-security lock doesn’t come cheap; any lock that achieves Sold Secure’s highest Diamond rating typically comes with a three-digit price tag. But for Cyber Monday Litelok has reduced the cost of the X1 by $15, plus it's also giving you a Tactical Mount to carry the lock for free. With a retail cost of $24.99 that makes for a solid $40 saving.

The deal is also offered in the UK. Here you’re saving £10 plus a free mount priced £19.99. Again, it's a reasonable saving on a quality product. I've also added a couple of other options too, should the X1 not be the right lock for you.

It looks like these deals will only be around for the remainder of the day, so it's worth acting now if you're shopping for a good-quality lock.
