Hiplok Z Combo to debut at Sea Otter

  • Ron 

Innovative bicycle security brand Hiplok have again expanded their award winning security line-up and are returning to the Sea Otter Classic for a stateside launch. The spring focus will be on the Z LOK COMBO, an extension of the ground breaking, multi-purpose Z LOK, a reusable zip-like tie introduced exactly a year ago in Monterey. Two additional featured products, introduced last year but just now funneling into distribution channels, are the E-DX and the AIRLOK.

The new Hiplok Z LOK COMBO features a combination lock system, extended length and 8mm wide reinforced steel core, providing another level of security within the Z LOK security tie line up. With a high quality metal resettable 3 digit combination lock integrated in to the ultra-lightweight design and adjustable locking circumference, the Z LOK COMBO is the ideal café lock as well as providing added protection for accessories, outdoor equipment and luggage. The Z COMBO retails for $24.99 and comes in black, teal or yellow.

The E-DX, retailing for $145 and designed with the growing number of E-bikes and utility bikes in mind, is a maximum security chain noose and D lock. Its 10mm hardened premium steel chain has noose ends, allowing it to loop through itself, providing the bigger locking circumference required for larger and bulkier bikes. Secured with the maximum strength Hiplok DX U-lock, which features a 14mm steel shackle and anti-rotation locking tabs, the E-DX provides the strength needed for ultimate peace of mind. One Z LOK is included for securing accessories and can also be used to attach the chain to the bike frame in transit.

The Z LOK as well as the innovative high security wall-mounted bike hanger, the AIRLOK, were recipients of the Design & innovation Award, the benchmark achievement for the bike-industry’s highest performing products.  Both received this accolade for their genuine innovation in combining groundbreaking design with rider practicality. Said co-founder Ben Smith, “Our goal at Hiplok has always been to create quality, innovative products that function without hindering the thrill of the ride, so to win this award is a testament to our philosophy of putting practical design at the heart of what we do.”

AIRLOK  – the world’s first high security storage hanger, with a hardened steel core and steel and locking pin – has a maximum Gold Sold Secure rating. Its slim line triangular shape offers elegant, practical and secure storage for a range of bike types. The judge’s verdict on the $179 AIRLOK was, “Surely the most aesthetically pleasing way to secure your bike.”
