Motorcycle Phone Mount Guide: Choosing The Right Setup For Your Bike

A good motorcycle phone mount can make riding more convenient, whether you're using your phone for navigation, music, communication, or simply keeping it within easy reach. But with so many mounting systems available, choosing the right one for your motorcycle can take a little thought.

The best option depends on your bike, your phone, and where you want the device positioned.

RAM Mounts – Maximum Flexibility

If you want a highly customisable solution, RAM Mounts are one of the most versatile options available.

RAM's modular system allows you to combine different bases, arms, and phone holders to create a setup that suits almost any motorcycle. Mounting options include handlebars, brake or clutch reservoirs, fork stems, mirror mounts, and many other locations.

One of the biggest advantages of RAM Mounts is that individual components can be changed or reused. If you change motorcycles or phones, you may only need to replace one part of the system rather than purchasing an entirely new mount.

Universal phone holders such as the popular RAM X-Grip are also useful for riders who want the flexibility to use different phones.

Model-Specific Phone Mounts

For riders who prefer a clean, integrated appearance, a model-specific motorcycle phone mount can be an excellent choice.

Evotech Performance produces precision-engineered mounts designed specifically for individual motorcycle models. Rather than using a generic handlebar clamp, these mounts utilise existing mounting points on the bike to position the phone neatly around the dashboard or cockpit.

Many Evotech Performance mounts are designed to work with Quad Lock phone systems, while other configurations and mounting options are also available.

The result is a very tidy installation that looks like it belongs on the motorcycle from the factory.

Where Should You Mount Your Phone?

Position is just as important as the mounting system itself. Ideally, your phone should be easy to glance at without significantly taking your eyes away from the road.

Common mounting locations include:

• Handlebars

• Fork stems

• Mirror mounting points

• Brake or clutch reservoirs

• Above or beside the instrument display

Always make sure the phone doesn't interfere with the controls, steering movement, instruments, or your view of the road.

Don't Forget Vibration Protection

Motorcycles can generate significant vibration, particularly through the handlebars. Some modern smartphones contain delicate camera stabilisation systems, so using a suitable vibration-dampening accessory may be worth considering where available.

Which Motorcycle Phone Mount Is Best?

There isn't one solution that suits every motorcycle.

If you want maximum flexibility and the ability to customise your setup, RAM Mounts are an excellent choice. If you prefer a streamlined, bike-specific installation, an Evotech Performance phone mount may be the better option.
