- A bike lock is one of the most important pieces of cycling equipment, capable of not just securing your ride but also of deterring theft.
- The Hiplok Z-Lok offers an intuitive bike lock solution that allows you to quickly and easily lock your bike where a heavier duty lock might be excessive.
- The Z-Lok features an easy-close locking mechanism similar to that of a zip tie, and is built with a steel core to prevent anyone from being able to slash through it.
- Though it's not recommended for daily use, it works well for quick pit stops along your ride or for when you need to quickly lock up your bike in a pinch.
