What to look for in a phone mount

Fits your phone

Check the phone sizes a mount takes, and whether it works with your phone in its case. Clamp mounts adjust to most phones, while case mounts have a set size limit.

A secure hold

Bumps, kerbs and gravel all test a mount. Screw-on and lockable clamps hold firm on rougher rides, and a quick shake before you set off tells you a lot.

Weather protection

An open clamp leaves your phone exposed to showers. A water-resistant case adds a layer of protection while keeping the screen usable.

Where it sits

Most mounts clamp to the handlebar, close to the stem, so the screen is easy to glance at. If you already run a Garmin or Wahoo-style out-front mount, a quarter-turn adapter lets your phone share it.

Who it's for

Commuters

Keep turn-by-turn directions in view on unfamiliar routes without stopping to check your pocket.

Weekend explorers

Follow a planned route on rides out of town, and track your ride as you go.

Delivery and city riders

A secure mount keeps your phone handy for maps and messages when you're stopped.

Get the most from your mount

  • Check the clamp is tight before each ride, as screws can loosen over time.
  • Set your route before you roll so you aren't tapping the screen while moving.
  • Wipe grit from clamps and case seals after wet or dusty rides.
  • Carry a small power bank on long rides, since maps use plenty of battery.

Frequently asked questions

Is it legal to use a phone mount on my bike in Australia?

Rules on phone use while riding differ between states and territories. In general, a phone secured in a mount for navigation is treated differently from holding it in your hand, but touching the screen while moving may still be restricted. Check your state's road rules, and set up your route before you start.

Will a bike phone mount fit my phone?

Most clamp-style mounts adjust to a wide range of phones, and many work with a slim case left on. Case-style mounts have a maximum phone size, so compare it with your phone before you buy. If your phone has a bulky case, a clamp mount is usually the easier fit.

Can vibration from riding damage my phone?

Some phone makers advise care with mounts on vehicles that vibrate heavily, as strong, constant vibration can affect camera parts. Bikes are usually gentler, but on rough trails it's worth checking your phone maker's guidance. A firmly fitted mount that doesn't rattle helps too.

Should I use a phone mount or a cycle computer?

A phone mount gives you full maps and apps on a screen you already own. A simple wireless cycle computer shows speed, distance and time without draining your phone, which is handy on long rides. Plenty of riders use both, with the phone for navigation and the computer for ride data.

Can I ride in the rain with my phone mounted?

An open clamp leaves your phone exposed, so check your phone's own water resistance before riding in showers. A water-resistant case mount adds a layer of protection. In heavy rain, it's safest to pop your phone away and check directions when you stop.
