Redefining Security for Riders
Hiplok’s story began in 2009 with a frustrating moment that every cyclist fears – co-founder John’s bike was stolen because he didn’t have a lock with him. Determined to solve the problem, John and fellow founder Ben set out to create a lock that was both strong and easy to carry.
The Birth of the Wearable Lock
In 2011, Hiplok launched the ORIGINAL – the world’s first wearable chain lock. This breakthrough redefined bike security by combining maximum protection with unmatched portability, sparking a new approach to how cyclists protect their bikes.
Global Recognition and Continued Innovation
The momentum continued in 2013 with the Eurobike Design Award for the Hiplok LITE, a bestseller in bike shops worldwide. In 2014, the brand unveiled the first wearable D lock with the patented CLIP + RIDE system, removing the need for bulky brackets. By 2016, Hiplok had introduced AIRLOK, the world’s first maximum-security wall-mounted bike hanger, successfully funded through crowdfunding.
Pushing the Limits of Lightweight Security
In 2017, the Z LOK arrived – the lightest and most versatile tie-lock ever made, selling over a million units globally. The following year, the Hiplok HOME chain earned praise for outperforming some of the market’s toughest competitors in destruction tests.
Raising the Bar in Anti-Theft Technology
By 2019, the DX lock, featuring the CLIP + RIDE system, made the cover of Bicycling Magazine’s Gear of the Year. In 2021, Hiplok introduced the D1000 – the world’s first portable, anti-angle grinder D lock – a true game-changer for theft prevention.
The 1000 Series and Global Recognition
In 2024, Hiplok launched the 1000 Series, designed for motorcycles and larger e-bikes, earning the prestigious Design & Innovation Award. The same year, Hiplok was named BikeBiz Brand of the Year, celebrating its innovation, quality, and rider-focused design.
