One Permanent Forensic Identity.
Every VIN Chip system combines multiple security and identification technologies to create a unique forensic identity permanently linked to your motorcycle and its registered keeper.
DeterTech’s SmartWater® Technology
A unique forensic liquid assigns your motorcycle its own identification code, linked to the registered keeper. Invisible under normal light and visible under UV light, it enables rapid ownership verification.
UHF RFID Chip
An encrypted UHF RFID chip permanently linked to your motorcycle. Requiring no batteries or power source, it can be detected by long-range scanners used by police forces across the UK.
Microdot Technology
Thousands of laser-etched microdots carrying your unique VIN or ANC are applied across key components, making complete removal virtually impossible.
QR-Coded ID Labels
Tamper-evident labels display the motorcycle's VIN or ANC alongside a QR code for instant database verification and 24/7 registered keeper checks.
Secure Database Registration
Your motorcycle and registered keeper details are securely linked within the CRiS (Central Registration & Identification Scheme) database, connecting every layer of protection back to you.
