These days, cyclists turn to their smartphones to support their trips, whether commuting, touring, or training. From navigation and music to tracking speed and elevation, your phone is more than just a communication device; it's a cycling companion. That’s why a bicycle phone mount is so important. Yet, not every mount is built the same. Picking the right car service can mean either a pleasant journey or a terrible one.
We understand what it takes to ride in today’s world at GRxplore. We work to deliver phone mounts that meet high standards, are built for use, and fit any cyclist. Whether you're a daily commuter, weekend warrior, or adventure seeker, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know to choose the perfect bicycle phone mount.
Why You Need a Quality Bicycle Phone Mount
Let’s first see why having a good phone mount is so necessary before we discuss choosing one.
● Safety comes from a secure mount because your phone is easy to grab without losing control of the bike.
● If you are on your bike or driving through town, a mounted phone makes it possible to get directions from your GPS without texting or scrolling.
● There are several apps available for cyclists to follow how far they’ve ridden, their pace, the hills they’ve tackled, and their heart rate. Good data results come from a mount that is stable during the experiment.
● With a good mount, you can charge, look at your phone, or interact with it all while you ride.
Picking between all the available brands is very difficult. We’ll take a look at what top-quality phone mounts for bikes should have.
Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Bicycle Phone Mount
1. Mounting Location
The initial thing you’ll want to figure out is how you’ll place your phone on your bike. Places you might find them are:
● Handlebars
● Stem
● Fork
● Seat Post
● Mirror Stems (for scooters and motorcycles)
For scooter and motorcycle riders, we offer Slip-On Stems as a great option. There are positives and negatives at each location. A good example is that handlebar mounts give quick access but might take away from the grip, while with stem mounts, you usually need to buy accessories for a better view.
Flexibility is built into all the mounts we design at GRxplore. Which setup you use doesn’t matter, since we have versions for both kinds of bike mounts.
2. Phone Size and Compatibility
There isn’t a universal mount that will fit all smartphones. Your mount should match both your phone’s shape and whatever case you have on it. There are mounts that let you adjust the clamps and some that don’t allow for any adjustments.
We designed our GRxplore universal mounts to fit all but the biggest and largest smartphones, for example, the iPhone 15 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Specific cutting patterns for particular devices are available through us.
3. Durability and Build Quality
Because a bike deals with bumps, shakes, and weather, it’s important that it is strong and built to last. When possible, look for bicycle mounts built from solid aluminum or plastic.
All the GRxplore mounts are built from billet aluminum, making them easy to carry and tough. A Case-Mate case is designed to deal with heavy riding while keeping your device well protected.
4. Ease of Installation
A quality mount should allow you to install it quickly and release it quickly. Quick tools or no hardware features allow you to install the bed fast and easily.
The majority of our mounts have simple clamps and detailed instructions. You can plan or unplan your bikes quickly, meaning it’s easy to use your phone safely when not cycling or keep it safe at home.
5. Angle Adjustment
The ability to adjust the viewing angle helps every user stay comfortable and safe. If the mount can rotate or tilt in any direction, you’ll always see clearly, no matter how you’re riding.
The multi-axis setup on GRxplore mounts makes it possible to swing your phone to fit any position, up or down.
6. Water and Weather Resistance
If your bike trips take you through rain or dust, go for a mount that keeps rain and corrosion away. All mounts from GRxplore have been treated to shield them from corrosion and will withstand all outdoor conditions.
Types of Bicycle Phone Mounts: Which One Is Right for You?
Bicycle phone mounts come in several different designs. I’ve included the main examples in this list:
1. Handlebar Mounts
Perfect for your typical bike and your mountain bike, too. The mounts are fitted right to the handlebars and ensure great stability.
Pros :
● Easy to install
● Good visibility
● Stable even on rough terrain
Cons :
● May take up grip space
● Not suitable for very narrow bars
2. Stem Mounts
These fit the front stem of the bicycle and are perfect for riders who want their handlebar to look uncluttered.
Pros :
● Central positioning
● Minimal interference with controls
Cons :
● May require additional hardware
● Less flexible positioning
3. Fork Mounts
This sort of fitting works best with front suspension systems or wider forks. Grasp-type handguards are chosen by many adventure motorcycle riders.
Pros :
● Great for mountain biking
● Keeps handlebars free
Cons :
● Limited compatibility
● Can affect aerodynamics
4. Mirror Stem Mounts
The pocket face is intended for use on small vehicles, where space is tight.
Pros :
● Compact design
● Utilizes existing mirror stems
Cons :
● Not suitable for regular bicycles

At GRxplore, we supply mounts on our handlebars as well as on the mirror stems, helping you pick which type suits your car and personal taste.
