Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Hiplok DX1000 is the number two lock in our guide to the ten best bike locks, and at £299.99 it is the most expensive of the ten. Its 32 mm shackle is the thickest claimed anywhere in the group, against the 12 mm quoted on the £18.03 Combo U-lock — on the listing's own numbers that is 2.7 times the steel for 16.6 times the money. Hiplok grades it Sold Secure Powered Cycle Diamond, and the word to read there is 'powered': that is the motorbike and e-bike standard, not the pedal cycle grade carried by locks costing a fraction as much.
Two things inside the listing do not line up with each other. The fifth feature bullet is headed 'HIGH-VISIBILITY NEON YELLOW' and describes a bright finish acting as a visible deterrent, while the specification field lists Colour as 'All Black'. The same bullet's box contents are cut off mid-word — 'In the box: Hiplok DX1000, 3 coded repl' — so the advert never finishes telling you what arrives; the specification field separately states 3 x coded replaceable keys. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing and the customer reviews shown there. We have not cut, weighed or tested this lock ourselves.

Questions people ask
Is the Hiplok DX1000 Sold Secure Diamond rated?
The listing says Sold Secure Powered Cycle Diamond, independently tested to the highest powered cycle security standard. That is the powered cycle standard, which the advert says insurers recognise for bicycle, e-bike, cargo bike and motorbike cover.
What colour is the Hiplok DX1000?
The listing gives two answers. The fifth feature bullet is headed 'HIGH-VISIBILITY NEON YELLOW' and describes a bright finish, while the specification field lists Colour as 'All Black'.
How many keys come with it?
The specification field says '3 x coded replaceable keys', and the third bullet says 3 coded replaceable keys with a key code card. The box-contents bullet is cut off mid-word at 'In the box: Hiplok DX1000, 3 coded repl', so the listing never finishes that sentence.
Does it fit a motorbike?
Hiplok quotes a 205 mm x 112 mm internal locking area and says it fits most motorbike wheels. Reviewers report it fitting the wheel and tyre of a 2025 Honda PCX 125, and on a BMW R 1200 GS fitting only the front wheel, so measure before buying.
Is a carry bracket included?
No. The fourth bullet lists the carry options as a bicycle bracket or a motorbike lock sleeve, and both are marked 'sold separately'.
How heavy is the Hiplok DX1000?
The listing states 2.75 kg and describes hardened steel construction with a rubberised outer to protect paintwork. One reviewer calls it quite heavy and says that is understandable given how solid and sturdy it feels.
