Scan the QR code on the tag — it fills this in and checks automatically.
Where to look
One tag, one code.
On a hangtag, on one binding
The QR code hangs on a tag attached to one of the two bindings — that tag is the authenticity marker. The binding itself carries no laser-etched code.
Scan it
Point a phone camera at the QR code to open this check automatically. There’s no printed number on the binding — scanning is the way to check.
Why it matters
Counterfeits cut corners where it counts.
FASTEC copies turn up in grey-market channels. They look close, but the parts that keep you on the board aren’t the ones to save money on.
Real materials
Fakes use substandard plastics and hardware that fatigue and fail in cold and load — exactly the conditions a binding exists for.
Real safety
A binding is safety equipment. A genuine FASTEC is built and tested to hold; a counterfeit carries none of that assurance.
Real support
Verified bindings are covered by the licensed brand behind them — with parts, setup help, and warranty. Fakes are on their own.
Verify FAQ
Questions about authenticity
How do I check that my binding is genuine?
Scan the QR tag on your binding — it opens our Verify page and checks automatically against the real authenticity register. Takes a second.
Where do I find the QR code?
On a hangtag with the QR code, attached to one of the two bindings. The binding itself carries no laser marking — just scan the tag.
What happens if the serial number isn’t found?
That can mean the pasted code has a typo, a binding from a brand that doesn’t carry QR tags yet, or a counterfeit. Use the contact link under the result if you bought it as genuine FASTEC and something feels off.
Which bindings carry the QR code?
QR authentication is live for SP Bindings, the system’s reference implementation. Other licensed brands will add QR tags to their lines over time — a binding without one yet isn’t automatically suspect.
Why does verification matter?
FASTEC counterfeits exist, mostly in grey-market channels, and typically use substandard materials. Verifying protects riders, retailers, and the licensed brands building with the system.
