Fortified is an aluminum seat clamp with a special shape screw to prevent theft and a set of special tools. In addition, large screws are also provided to attach the seat to the seat post. According to the description of the site, the corresponding size has become "general size 4 sold at a motorcycle shop" including pipe diameters 31.8 mm and 28.6 mm.

Therefore, Fortified seat clamp is to use bolts with a special shape that looks like a screen instead of a general hexagon socket hole to enhance security.


The shape of the screw head appearing in the movie isTorx screw with anti tamperingIt looks like, but in reality it is said that about 30 types of screw heads of this shape are prepared. Furthermore, by distributing the shape as much as possible for each shipping place, it seems that ingenious efforts have been made not to bring screws having the same shape as close as possible.


It is Fortified 's characteristic to reduce the risk of theft occurrence by distributing threads of special shape with multiple types.


It is set as if to support such confidence, "Payback Policy" to compensate a part of it in case of theft victim.
