BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Hiplok D1000 / DX1000. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

6 reasons to buy

  • This lock comes in two versions: the D1000 (6.1” x 3.6” inner dimensions) and the larger DX1000 (8.07” x 4.41”).
  • Multiple tests show both that locks are highly resistant to angle grinder attacks, earning them Sold Secure’s highest Diamond rating.
  • Owners say opening the locking mechanism is smooth, and two experts note that the rubber keyhole cover is easy to remove with gloves on.
  • Hiplock sells a lock-carrying pouch that can be mounted to the bike or attached to the rider’s belt.
  • Owners praise the lock’s protective rubber coating.
  • Hiplok provides a 10-year warranty for both the D1000 and DX1000.

4 reasons not to buy

  • Experts say closing the smaller D1000 requires the bike to be parked “just right.”
  • These locks are very heavy.
  • Experts are disappointed that Hiplok doesn’t include a frame mount at this price, and a carry pouch costs extra.
  • Mounting the carry pouch to the handlebars of a light road bike negatively impacts steering, and mounting it to the frame causes the rider to brush the pouch with their knees.

Bottom line

Hiplok’s D1000 and DX1000 are heavy-duty U-locks designed to resist angle grinders. The DX1000 is the larger version. In testing by experts and Sold Secure, a third-party tester, these locks demonstrate high resistance to cutting by angle grinders. Hiplock provides a 10-year warranty. Unfortunately, these locks are very heavy, and the optional transport pouch causes issues for many owners. Some find the D1000 too small. Though the D1000 and DX1000 are cumbersome to carry and expensive, they offer industry-leading protection against cutting attacks.

Hiplok D1000 Review: The Original Angle Grinder Beater

But for those with very expensive bikes, which get left in very high-risk circumstances (for long periods, in busy areas), the Hiplok D1000 [will] provide the sort of peace of mind that no other (immediately available) bike lock can.

Hiplok D1000 Bike Lock Review

The lock is heavier than we’d like to lug around, smaller than most competitors, and very expensive, but there’s no denying it’s the toughest-to-cut U-lock we’ve ever tested.
