That leaves the handlebar mount, fork stem mount and mirror mount to choose from. The front mount is designed for bicycles, so don’t accidentally buy that one if you want to mount your phone to your motorbike. The first thing that you’ll need to figure out is what type of arm mount you’ll need for your motorcycle. Front mount vs handlebar mount vs fork stem mount vs mirror mount They are exceptionally popular bicycle mounts - you can even use them as a car mount. However, they’re not just for motorcyclists. Additionally, they offer a range of accessories such as the vibrational dampener, ball mount and wireless charging head. Quad Lock manufactures a large number of model-specific phone cases for most popular phone models such as Apple and Samsung. The kit comes in two main two parts: the mounting arm and the phone case. One of the most popular motorcycle phone mounts on the market is the universal Quad Lock kit. Therein lies the value of motorcycle phone mounts. Perhaps this whole situation could have been avoided if you kept your phone just a short glace away from your instrument cluster.
Then it hits you, you’re out of reception range. So you fumble your phone out of your leathers in all in a vain effort to open your go-to maps app. Suddenly, you decide to turn down that mysterious back road to see where it leads.īefore you know it, you’re in the middle of nowhere…you’ve lost your bearings and you don’t know where to turn. While out on your Sunday ride through your favourite mountain road, a whim of adventure overcomes your senses. Value for money: it’s a decent chunk of change cheaper compared to rivals Ram Mount & Rokform.Flexible: universal mount supports both landscape and horizontal phone orientation.Once you have the Quad Lock case, there are also mounts for your car, bicycle, belt, arm (for exercise), desk, wall or tripod, as well as a 1-inch ball adapter. The kit with a mirror mount is $69.90 or a fork mount is $89.90. A moto mount kit that includes the case, handlebar mount and waterproof “poncho” cover costs $79.90. The black-only case is available for a wide range of Apple iPhone, Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy models. The Quad Lock mount is light, compact and unobtrusive when not in use. To manipulate the phone’s screen (when stopped of course), you may need touchscreen-friendly gloves. Riding with my iPhone XS in the Quad Lock mount, it didn’t vibrate and when I used my hand to wiggle the phone it never budged. With a little practice, locking the phone into the mount and releasing it again became second nature, and once the phone is secure it can be rotated 90 degrees to change the screen’s orientation between vertical and horizontal. Installing the Quad Lock handlebar mount took only a few minutes using the provided hex wrench. To release it, just press down on the blue lever and rotate a few degrees until the phone pops out. Place the phone on the mount so the tabs fit into the cutouts, turn the phone a few degrees right or left until the tabs slide under the lock’s rim and it clicks into place. The lock’s rim has four cutouts that match the four outer tabs on the mount. On the back of the case is a slightly raised dual-stage lock that Quad Lock says is strong enough to lift 160 pounds. It starts with the Quad Lock smartphone case, which is made of tough, smooth-yet-grippy polycarbonate with a shock-absorbing edge-to-edge shell. Quad Lock is an Australian company that has designed a simple yet rather ingenious mounting system. That happened to one of our staffers a few years ago, and I’ve been wary of smartphone mounts ever since. The cradle is a critical part of the design because having a phone come loose and bounce down the freeway at 70 mph is heart wrenching, not to mention expensive and inconvenient. There’s a wide variety of mounting systems, most of which attach to the motorcycle’s handlebar, as well as a wide variety of phone cradles. Mounts are like mousetraps - everybody has tried to build a better one.
