UK outlet BikeSocial reviewed the Hiplok L1000 Link, a closed loop that lets riders join two or more D-locks together, for example when parking with friends. It weighs 1.17kg, costs £149.99, and already carries Sold Secure's Powered Cycle Diamond certification. Destruction testing found bolt croppers can't get purchase on it and, since there's no keyway, drilling is pointless; it uses the same diamond-coated steel core construction as Hiplok's D-locks like the DX1000.

Not a catchphrase, but products this unglamorous are exactly what I want judged by the weld and core material, not just looks. £149.99 for 1.17kg isn't nothing, but backing up the "drilling is pointless" verdict with actual destruction testing earns trust. Whether you can leave your bike locked for hours comes down to details like this.

This would be a game-changer parking with friends.

Powered Cycle Diamond is basically top-tier certification for this category.

I don't even own a D-lock yet — what should I get first?

"Drilling is pointless" is reassuring to read in a review like this.

1.17kg feels like a lot to carry around, honestly.

That's a pricey add-on if you're locking up more than one bike.
