I’m a big fan of Hiplok. I have a few of their combination Hiplok Z Loks. They are a brilliant little lock that offers a quick and easy way to lock your bike while running into the store. And their new lock looks to be just as clever. Introducing the new SWITCH 105.
The SWITCH 105 is a modular system that tackles the common challenge of carrying security on rides. It lets you seamlessly swap between mounting the lock on your bike frame or carrying it on your body by using the belt or bag clips.
The lock includes a bracket that can hold either the lock itself or your water bottle, making it particularly useful for cyclists who use their bikes for both commuting and leisure rides.
When extended, the lock offers a 105cm locking length, providing flexibility for securing your bike to a variety of anchor points. It folds down to a compact package for easier transport and storage.
The construction features hardened steel bars connected with steel rivets, and it carries a Sold Secure Pedal Cycle Bronze rating. It weighs in at 1.17kg (2.6 lbs), with the 4mm thick bars. So, the SWITCH 105 is a great attempt to blend security with portability.
What sets this lock apart is its versatility in carrying options. Whether you prefer to mount it on your frame like a traditional bottle cage, clip it to your bag for quick access, or attach it to your belt while walking, the SWITCH system adapts to different riding scenarios and personal preferences without requiring separate accessories.
What’s it Come With?
The complete kit includes the folding lock, mounting bracket, holster, plate for bottle cage attachment, and three coded replaceable keys. If you lose your keys, you can order replacements using the provided codes rather than replacing the entire lock. The system comes with installation hardware and offers a lifetime warranty when registered within 30 days of purchase.
