Remains to be seen how this performs versus the Litelok I also have as I haven’t been attacked yet, but the angle grinder tests are promising and this gives me peace of mind.
It’s also a fair bit lighter as it relies on its rock diamond coating to combat diamond discs. My only complaint for now would be size, locking diameter. As it feels a bit smaller than a regular D lock. Good enough for the back tire but on my case too short for a front tire lock to my frame. YMMV. Would recommend measuring for your needs.
If it was a lot longer than the Litelok and dx1000, it’s competition, it would be more useful as a bicycle lock also taking advantage of its weight. Over time I did buy another so I could interlock them both but I’m in a high risk city of Toronto, otherwise I don’t think you need to go that far. Relative to the cost of my bike I feel it’s good value for the protection it offers. In the ever escalating battle between thieves and cyclists you can’t afford to use unprotected regular D locks anymore. Also as a rule of thumb always good to have one lock more than the bike next to you!
