LockPickingLawyer cuts through a LiteLok flexible bike lock with cable cutters in about 16 seconds, one of several videos defeating the product.
Used in bike-lock discussions as evidence that the LiteLok is weak, and a reminder that LPL reviews are a trusted benchmark for lock security.

> Because the average bike price is going up it also becomes interesting to steal parts. A decent handlebar + shifters are easy to sell individually. That's an interesting point. Doesn't that make a folding full-size bike the only real solution? Something like Changebike DF-611MB: [LINK] > There are a few new lock types which are supposed to work better against angle grinders like Tex-lock or LitLok. After a quick search... Tex-lock cut in 32 seconds: [LINK] LitLok cut in 16 seconds: [VIDEO]
The kevlar fibers don't really work in practice. Turns out you can just use a pair of shears or a boltcutter. Examples: [LINK] [VIDEO]
This is the same company that creates the touted highly secure LiteLok Gold that LPL cuts in 16s. [VIDEO] I'm skeptical of any bike lock's security that is not reviewed by LPL.
