£75 for your old alarm when you upgrade to TrakKING

Motorcycle security expert Datatool has announced an exciting new upgrade program.

For a limited time this summer, when motorcyclists trade in ANY Thatcham approved alarm (not just a Datatool) and upgrade to a Datatool TrakKING GPS/GSM system, Datatool will give them a £75 credit towards their TrakKING annual subscription. This is an amazing 12 months cover for the price of 3, equivalent to just £2 per month!

The process is simple. From now until 1st September 2014 any owners visiting their Datatool dealer to have an old Thatcham approved alarm removed and replaced with a brand new, state-of-the-art Datatool TrakKING GPS/GSM system will be provided with a claim form to fill in and send to Datatool, who will be in contact to activate the subscription at the discounted rate. The £75 credit can be applied to either a one or three year subscription making the first year just £24 (with subsequent years charged at the prevailing rate, currently standard rate of £99 per annum).

The Datatool TrakKING GPS/GSM system offers the very latest in security technology, constantly monitoring a motorcycle, scooter or quad for unauthorised movement. Owners are initially alerted by SMS text message whilst Datatool’s 24/7/365 staffed call centre works with the Police for a swift recovery.

Dave Plummer, Datatool Brand Manager: “We recognise that as technology moves on, we need to make sure our customers are in a position to take advantage of it. There are many older bikes being ridden or sold with 10 or 15 year old alarms still fitted but over the years this technology has been super seeded with more efficient, effective and most importantly more reliable products. Datatool TrakKING is a security solution, which offers multiple benefits in addition to those provided by an alarm and will greatly increase the chances of recovery of your bike should the worst occur.”

Stay Grounded with XENA

XENA has updated its popular XGA Ground Anchor for 2014, so it’s now even easier and quicker to install.

The XGA requires just one bolt to fix it in place – no drilling multiple holes or lining up fiddly templates – yet is just as strong as anchors using a multi-bolt fitting. It is so tough that it has been awarded the Gold Standard by SoldSecure*, the highest grade possible.

Fitting could not be simpler. Simply drill the hole, assemble the anchor, push the bolt into the drilled hole and then turn the anchor until the unique torsion-controlled bolt holder within the device ‘clicks’, indicating that the unit is correctly installed. No spanners required!

It can be fixed to a wall or floor, inside or outside, and has a ‘fold flat’ design so it won’t get in the way when not in use. The low profile means it can also be ridden over easily, so it can be installed in narrow passageways or in a garage floor.

The XGA’s base rotates freely through 360 degrees, so chains and locks can be passed through the shackle easily, without having to manoeuvre the motorcycle into position. The swivel design also makes it incredibly difficult to get a purchase with a cutter or levering device. Combined with the extra thick shackle, it will resist the most determined of thieves.

The Xena XGA costs just £50 (including VAT) and is ideal for securing motorcycles, trailers, quad bikes and more.

Datatool TraKKING – Lower Price Means Affordable Peace of Mind

Everyone who buys a new or used motorcycle, scooter or quad now has easier access to the peace of mind provided by the Datatool TrakKING GPS/GSM tracking system.

Datatool used the recent Motorcycle Trade Expo to announce a recommended retail price realignment to just £179.00 + installation, making Datatool TrakKING the most cost-effective tracking system on the market.

Datatool TrakKING constantly monitors your bike for unauthorised movement, alerting you initially by (optional) SMS text message and then alerting our 24/7/365 staffed call centre who will contact you to advise that a potential theft is in progress.

The annual subscription, now reduced to just £99.00 per year, includes an initial quantity of text alerts per month as well the access to our highly trained staff at our Secure Operating Centre, who will work directly with the Police to assist in recovering your vehicle should the worst happen. If you choose the 3 year subscription option, you can be protecting your transport for as little as 26p per day.

Datatool TrakKING is approved by the Thatcham Research Centre, the UK insurance industry approvals body, which means you should qualify for an insurance discount (subject to insurers’ terms and conditions) for having the unit installed at one of our authorised installers.

Datatool TrakKING is available to use on any motorcycle, quad or scooter fitted with a battery, whether road or off-road, yet has a virtually zero current draw so won’t drain the battery.

Datatool also recommends the use of visual physical security deterrents such as the Datatool Python lock & chain and a Datatool Fortress ground anchor for added home security or the Datatool Croc Lock when on the move.

Croc Lock

Motorcycle security should be at the forefront of every riders mind, not just overnight at home but whilst out and about, too. Datatool has the answer for portable security on the go with Croc Lock.

Simple to use and highly visible, the Croc Lock is the must-have theft deterrent for scooters, motorcycles and ATVs. Croc Lock works by locking the front brake lever to the handlebar, preventing the motorcycle or ATV from being pushed away.

Available in vibrant yellow, orange or black, Croc Lock is more visible than a standard disc lock, easier to install and impossible to forget!

With an RRP of just £29.95, Croc Lock is an affordable solution offering secure peace of mind to the motorcyclist on the move.
