Best of its kind - Motorcycling and Powersports

I've tried all kinds of phone mounts on my bike but this one beats them all. Super easy to use (although it requires 2 hands), it's big enough that it doesn't weigh you down too much when using large phones, making it last a lot longer. I've been using it for over 1.5 years, at least 12 times. per week (just for comparison, the Finn mount lasted me for 2 months). After a year I noticed the first signs of wear, the upper middle part of the silicone "tape" began to tear, because I had to constantly stretch it, from the phone's notification panel - it seems like I have an old model you can in the photo with a straight top and bottom, and a new model has a bow (highlighted in green). But I'm not worried about it even if it eventually fails based on my experience with other silicone mounts. This type won't drop the phone. In fact, none of these sections will cause the phone to fall over (unless you're on a very bumpy road, of course). I don't like: 1) The phone is not centered on the steering wheel, it's offset forward which makes it rotate around the wheel on bumpy roads. 2) It wobbles a bit due to the swivel mechanism, but you can still read your workout data. I recommend this mount ̶a̶b̶s̶o̶l̶u̶t̶e̶l̶y̶ as the middle part no longer covers the screen, unfortunately they did this by shortening the middle vertical straps, this made it less stretchy and much more difficult to attach a large phone (Galaxy S10+). This will ultimately shorten its lifespan due to the extra stress, and at this point I no longer "absolutely" recommend this mount as I assume it won't last as long as the old model. They also shorten the strap that is held onto the handlebars.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Security
