Hiplok expands 1000 Series with new D-lock and ground anchors <\/p>

Hiplok pioneered the use of Ferosafe, a graphene composite material, on its D1000 D-lock, which proved to be one of the toughest locks our sister publication Cycling Plus<\/em> has tested.<\/p>\n

The British brand has now announced the expansion of the 1000 series to include a new lock and ground anchors that are claimed to resist angle grinders better than other materials commonly found in the best bike locks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hiplok says the new lock and ground anchor can secure your bike, electric bike<\/a> or even your motorbike in place.<\/p>\n

The additions to the Hiplok 1000 Series launched on Kickstarter on 8 November with introductory discounts for the first backers. Expected delivery for pre-orders is spring 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ultimate security system\u201d<\/h2>\n

Hiplok\u2019s co-founder, Ben Smith, tells BikeRadar angle grinders are becoming a common tool used by bike thieves, so the brand has aimed to create \u201cthe ultimate security system for home and away\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Ferosafe material used in the expanded 1000 series is a graphene composite that\u2019s welded to the metal core of a lock shackle and casing.<\/p>\n

Ferosafe is said to resist high-power angle grinders and drills at a much lower thickness (and therefore weight) than traditional hardened metals, making it ideal for bike locks that need to be transported.<\/p>\n

Materials such as Ferosafe and Barronium are used by fellow UK lock maker Litelok<\/a> to add greater cutting resistance.<\/p>\n

Alongside the DXF lock<\/a> we reviewed in 2021, Hiplok\u2019s expanded range now includes a larger-sized D-lock, the DX1000.<\/p>\n

Cycling Plus<\/em>\u2019 only criticism of the D1000 was its compact dimensions made it tricky to fit on ebikes and with some suspension designs.<\/p>\n

The new DX1000 expands the size to 290x180x45mm, which should be large enough for locking electric mountain bikes<\/a> and e-cargo bikes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ground anchors<\/h2>\n

Hiplok has also released a pair of new ground anchors \u2013 the A1000 and AX1000.<\/span><\/figcaption> Warren Rossiter \/ Our Media<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Joining the new D-lock are two new ground anchors.<\/p>\n

The range-topping AX1000 is different from anchors we\u2019ve seen before.<\/p>\n

Smith says: \u201cI, like many riders, have expensive lightweight carbon bikes at home and it\u2019s always a precarious business trying to thread a heavyweight chain through the frame, where one slip could be catastrophic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat got us thinking about making a ground\/wall anchor that could do the job of a chain and also use our D1000 and DX1000.\u201d<\/p>\n

The AX1000 combines a two-piece reinforced base with eight anchor points that hold a 360-degree rotating arm that can also pivot 180 degrees.<\/p>\n

The 430mm-long arm has an eye at the end, designed to hold the D1000 and D1000x\u2019s base, though you could thread any lock, cable or chain through it.<\/p>\n

The position of the anchor can be adjusted to accommodate many different bike frames and folds flat when not in use. The arm and the base have a Ferosafe outer shell.<\/p>\n

The second ground anchor is the A1000. This is similar to typical ground anchors<\/a>, but like the AX1000 it uses a clamshell-like base design.<\/p>\n

The base enables the anchor section to rotate 360 degrees, making it more versatile than standard anchors.<\/p>\n

Like the AX1000, it is supplied with all of the necessary hardware to install it.<\/p>\n

Both the AX1000 and A1000 are built to be used either indoors or outside.<\/p>\n
