We think it’s the safer option, but we get it. If you’re looking for a solid bang for your buck, the Roam universal phone mount for motorcycle is the best cheap and budget friendly motorcycle phone mount for you.ĭespite the RAM mount’s quality and appeal, some people just can’t justify spending roughly $50 on a phone mount (even though phones are 10 times the cost!).

We know the technical details can be a bit confusing without visuals, so to give you a better example of how all this stuff works, check out the detailed video review below from Lemmy at RevZilla. As if that’s not enough, there’s also a rubberized safety tether that wraps over each corner of your smartphone for ultimate stability and safety. RAM’s system uses a spring-loaded grip with four points of contact, capable of strong-holding phones up to 3.25” wide (for reference, an iPhone 7 is 2.6” wide and an iPhone 7 Plus is 3.1” wide). Other mounts are designed like vice grips – there are two points of contact on either side, and you tighten down each side until it grips your device. This is another area where RAM’s mount has set the bar high. Once you’ve secured the ball base to your handlebars, the top part of the mount pops right on with ease, and then it’s ready for you to secure your phone. The rubberized design is a huge benefit because it absorbs impact (in case you’re on a rough road or you accidentally hit the mount), keeping it stable no matter what your conditions are. The ball base secures to your handlebars using a U-bolt for better stability, and on top of that, it’s rubberized. With the RAM mount, there are two key pieces: the ball base (which attaches to your bike) and the mount itself (which holds your phone).

Most mounting accessories are all one piece, and they use some sort of twist clamp to attach to your handlebars. To start, RAM uses a two-piece ball-and-socket design.
