Your dirt bike is expensive and easy to steal (no suitable mechanical lock). A GPS tracker is the only real answer.

01The specific problem with dirt bikes
A motocross bike has no lockable steering head and no ignition lock. You can't fit a conventional D-lock. It weighs around a hundred kilos: two people can lift it into a van in seconds.
Motocross and enduro bikes are prime targets for thieves: high value, easy to break for parts, no suitable mechanical lock. The most targeted models are the most common ones: KTM SX/EXC, Yamaha YZ/WR, Husqvarna FC/FE, Honda CRF.
02Why a GPS tracker is the answer
Discreet and well protected
The box mounts out of sight on the bike, shielded from prying eyes, spray and mud: IP68 waterproof, it shrugs off rain, mud and splashes.
Battery life built for off-road
Off-road, HOROTAG GPS reaches up to 5 years and ULTIMATE GPS up to 8 years. That is not a range ranking: the ULTIMATE takes thirty times more fixes, so it lasts less than a HOROTAG GPS as soon as you ride a lot (raids, high mileage, daily urban use). Either way, no recharging every fortnight like consumer trackers.
Anti-theft + maintenance logbook
Unlike pure trackers (GeoRide, Monimoto), HOROTAG boxes also keep the bike's sealed maintenance logbook: servicing, hours, PDF resale certificate. That's 2 products in 1. The logbook is sealed server-side on all three products; the hour meter itself is only certified on HOROTAG RUUVI.
03The theft scenario with a HOROTAG tracker
1. The thief loads your bike into a van 2. The box detects the movement and reports its position 3. You get a push alert: "your bike moved without you" 4. You answer the alert: "that's normal", "I'm checking" or "it's a theft" 5. Once theft is confirmed, you switch to close tracking (a position every 30 min while moving on HOROTAG GPS, every 10 min on HOROTAG ULTIMATE GPS) and hand the police the PDF theft report (position, history, timestamps)
And to avoid false alarms: trust zones (home, garage, practice ground) and "I'm riding" mode, which mutes alerts for the duration of your session.
04Which box for a dirt bike?
- HOROTAG GPS (€299): the essential GPS anti-theft, dirt bikes included. Spaced positions to last, hours estimated from your trips.
- HOROTAG ULTIMATE GPS (€399): detailed track of every session, alert when the bike sets off, anti-theft, ultra-rugged casing, up to 8 years of battery life depending on riding profile. Hours estimated from your trips.
- HOROTAG RUUVI (€129): not a tracker: the automatic hour meter, to add if you also want engine wear tracked on its own.
No subscription in any case. 4G IoT SIM included for 10 years on both trackers.
The most detailed GPS tracking: HOROTAG ULTIMATE GPS.
A detailed track of every ride, thirty times more fixes than the GPS, an alert when the bike sets off, an ultra-rugged unit. Hours and kilometres estimated from trips, adjustable. €399, 4G IoT SIM included, no subscription.
