What’s the best bike phone mount?
If you’re looking for a way to securely mount your smartphone to your bike’s handlebars or bike stem, there are a lot of products to choose from. Many of the more affordable options are universal mounts designed to accommodate any smartphone, whether it’s an Android device or an iPhone. They have a clamping mechanism or even bands to keep your phone in place on the mount.
Pricier, and arguably better, bike phone mounts involve a mount and a case that’s designed to fit your particular smartphone, with support for iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and sometimes Google Pixel phones. That case then snaps or twists onto the mount and locks the case to the mount. Alternatively, most companies that offer a case that locks into a mount also sell an adapter that sticks onto the back of your phone or case. The adapter adheres with adhesive, which is not quite the same as having the locking mechanism built into the case itself.
They’re pricey, but I’m personally a fan of Rokform’s tough cases and bike mounts, which is why they’re at the top of this list. CNET’s e-bike and scooter reviewer Joe Kaminsky likes QuadLock bike mounts, meanwhile, which also require a case or an adapter to use. If you can’t afford those, more affordable bike phone mounts are available. Â
