Flexibly Compact Bicycle Locks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Z Lok' Brings Sturdy Malleability To the Zip Tie Lock

— October 18, 2019 — Tech
Most cycling enthusiasts will attest to being victims of unyielding paranoia due to the ever-present threat of their precious bicycles being stolen, while those who invest in sturdy bicycle locks have to compromise on comfort due to having to lug their lock around.

Thankfully, Hiplok has introduced a solution that kills two birds with one stone in the form of the Z Lok, an innovative and re-usable zip tie bicycle lock that offers the unmatched compactness and simplicity of a traditional zip tie with the kind of secure and hardy protection that's better associated with conventional bicycle locks.

The Z Lok is incredibly easy to deploy due to the fact that it's fully malleable and uses a secure but comfortable cinching mechanism to stay clamped together. This also makes it flexible in its application as it can be used as a back-up, for short-duration security or indeed to secure specific accessories within your bike.

Available in red, orange, cyan and black color options and costing as little as $11.99, the Hiplok Z Lok is a mandatory addition to the security armory of any enthusiastic cyclist.

3. Colorful and Affordable Locks - With options in multiple colors and a price as low as $11.99, the Hiplok Z Lok provides an affordable and customizable security option for cyclists.
