The weapon of choice for the professional bicycle (and motorcycle) thief is the angle grinder – a motorized hand tool that can cut through any lock, no matter how big, how heavy, or how expensive. To date, this fundamental problem has been largely ignored by the security industry as it has seemed too difficult to solve.
That has changed with the release of the Hiplok D1000, a lightweight, mobile lock that can withstand severe, sustained angle grinder attack.
The reason for the D1000’s incredible resistance against motorized attack is a material called Ferosafe, a composite graphene material that effectively resists high-power angle grinders due to its unique chemical and physical properties.
The application of Ferosafe within the D1000’s patent-pending design results in a lightweight, mobile bicycle lock that can be used in the same way as any other classic ‘U Lock’ products, but with anti-cut properties that are unrivalled.
Ferosafe is a graphene-reinforced ceramic composite - a high-performing, patented, material that has been specifically designed to disintegrate angle grinder cutting wheels and carbide-tipped drills with its unique combination of material properties. Created in an advanced high-temperature fusion process, the manufacture of Ferosafe is very precisely controlled while also being very energy efficient, achieving a low carbon footprint.

At DASH, we've created a Cycle to Work enabled storefront which allows you to browse and order a range of items, all whilst benefitting from savings of 28-47%. The cost of items you order is split into 12 months and deducted from your gross (or pre-tax) salary, allowing you to save on income tax and national insurance contributions, which is called salary sacrifice. After 12 months, you'll be able to continue using your items at no extra cost.
We have a range of items, from bikes and e-bikes, to accessories (such as helmets and locks), bike parts and tools, clothing (including jackets, shorts, shoes, and everything in between), even pre-owned bikes. We work with a range of brands so there's sure to be something you like in stock.
Since we are a Cycle to Work scheme ourselves, we cannot accept vouchers from other scheme providers. If you would like to use DASH and already have a voucher, it might be worth speaking to your employer to see if they are able to refund it.
