Below are the pros and cons of the Ram Mounts X-Grip:

We enjoyed using the Ram Mount and found its minimalist design was deceivingly strong. Installing this mount was easy thanks to its straightforward clamp design. This mount is better suited for tubular handlebars that are not very thick.

Thanks to its spring-loaded arms with rubber tips, our phone sat tightly in the mount with no risk of swaying. Our team found that this mount works better with large phones. Because this mount is made of powder-coated marine-grade aluminum and stainless steel components, its rock-solid durability was the best of any mount we tested.

Many reviewers claim that this mount held their phone in a stable condition even at high speeds. They also say the X-Grip mount’s handlebar clamp took little time and effort to install and needed few readjustments, if any.

Some customers, however, say their mounts kept slipping after multiple rides. There are also reviewers who found the rubber sling to be weaker than expected.

• Cost: Around $70
• Amazon review score: 4.6 out of 5.0 (approx. 500 reviews)
• What’s in the box: The Rokform Pro Series mount is included in the box with a few other bits and bobs. Included in the box is also an installation wrench, three rubber inserts, and a detachable lanyard. It should be noted that the Rockford Pro Series phone case isn’t included in the box, as it is sold separately.
• Low-profile design
• 75-degree vertical pivot
• 360-degree rotation
• Dual-retention magnet

The Rokform Pro Series mount has a universal fit thanks to its small, medium, and large rubber bar mount adapters that work with most handlebars. It’s constructed of military-grade aluminum and has stainless steel hardware so it can handle daily use.

When paired with the Rokform Pro Series phone case, this duo reaches its full potential. Rokform’s ultra-tough polycarbonate shell case fits perfectly into the mount’s twist-lock to create a secure upright fit that allows riders to view their phone. On the back of the case is a magnetic mount for hands-free mounting, as well. Below are the pros and cons of the Rokform Pro Series:

Our product review team had little trouble installing the Pro Series mount to our motorcycle, plus our phone snapped into the case relatively easily. We were surprised by how tightly the case and mount click together, particularly because of the dual-retention magnet on this mount.

It took us a few tries to determine the best rubber adapter that worked best for our bike’s handlebars. Once we found it, this mount locked on and showed no signs of slipping. The quality of the mount’s materials was high and we found that the case could withstand short drops and dings.

Despite the Rokform Pro Series Mount having such high ratings, many of the most liked reviews are negative. These reviews say using this mount with the Rokform Pro Series case damaged their phone’s camera beyond repair. However, we would like to note that we did not experience any damage to our phone’s camera during testing. More positive reviewers claim the Pro Series mount clamped on easily to their bikes and did not damage their phone’s camera.

• Cost: Around $60
• Amazon review score: 4.7 out of 5.0 (approx. 2,900 reviews)
• What’s in the box: Not much outside of the Tackform Enduro Series mount itself is included in the box. An installation wrench, three rubber inserts, and a rubber sling are the only other accessories that customers can expect to find within the packaging.
• Heavy-duty, spring-loaded grip
• Omni-directional phone positioning
• Black anodized finish
• iPhone and Galaxy compatible

The Tackform mount lets riders choose between a vertical or landscape view of their phone thanks to its ball socket mount. Its dual-opening clip makes one-hand access to your phone easy. Riders can also use the Tackform’s optional silicone sling to enhance their phone’s stability off-road using this mounting system.

Below are the pros and cons of the Tackform Enduro Series:

Installing this mount was difficult, especially when trying to use one of the rubber inserts on our handlebars. The Enduro Series mount’s materials were scratch-resistant and we appreciated their lightweight feel.

Once installed, this mount showed no signs of coming off or readjusting itself. The spring-loaded quick-grip system held our phone securely in place, but we were still able to access it easily.

Many positive reviews came from customers who own multiple motorcycles, who say that the rubber handlebar adapters came in handy for switching their mount between bikes. Some reviewers even claim this mount prevented their phone from getting damaged when they got in motorcycle accidents.

Reviewers who left poor reviews claim this mount is a poor vibration dampener, which makes their phones difficult to read when traveling at high speeds.

• Cost: Around $35
• Amazon review score: 4.3 out of 5.0 (approx. 3,700 reviews)
• What’s in the box: Besides the iMESTOU mount, customers can expect to receive a rubber sling, a spare fuse, and zip ties included in the box.
• Interchangeable as a rearview mirror or handlebar mount
• Three-way waterproof power switch
• 360-degree rotation
• External USB 3.0 port
• Over-voltage protection

The iMESTOU mount has a wireless 15.0-volt charger that charges most smartphones. Its four locking arms fasten the phone down at its corners, but it can be easily removed with a click of the side buttons. This mount also has a USB 3.0 port for wired charging to other externally-linked devices.

You can see how the iMESTOU phone mount performed in each of our testing categories below:

Below are the pros and cons of the iMESTOU Mount:

Installing this mount was relatively straightforward and took no extra effort by our product team. Our phone fit into the locking arms, but it didn’t fit very well and left spare room to wobble.

The iMESTOU phone holder is primarily made out of plastic with a few rubber pieces. This makes it more prone to breaking and less waterproof than mounts made of stronger metals such as aluminum or steel. We also had a difficult time getting the charging switch to function properly because of its waterproof casing that interferes with its functionality.

A common positive remark that customers left for the iMESTOU mount is that it’s compatible with more phone types compared to other mounts. There are also reviews that speak highly of this mount’s four-arm lock system, saying their phones feel securely fastened.

The inability to use the wired and wireless charging features simultaneously was an often-cited issue with this mount.

• Cost: Around $10
• Amazon review score: 4.3 out of 5.0 (approx. 60,000 reviews)
• What’s in the box: Included in the box are the Roam mount, a silicone sling, and an installation wrench.
• 360-degree rotation
• Clip-on mount system
• iPhone and Galaxy compatible
• Universal mount for motorcycles, scooters, bikes, and more

The Roam Bike Mount is designed for motorcycles but can also double as a scooter or bike phone mount. It relies on its clip system and silicone net to hold your phone in place. Made mostly of plastic materials, the Bike Mount is built to be durable and withstand most inclement weather.

You can see how the Roam Bike Mount performed in each category below:

Below are the pros and cons of the Roam Bike Mount:

Installing the Bike Mount required multiple attempts, partly due to its poor instructions and the locking mechanism on the device refused to lock properly. It also didn’t feel very secure on our motorcycle’s handlebars even after we retightened it multiple times.

This mount took up a lot of room on our handlebars, leaving little space for other attachments. The Bike Mount felt especially clunky, too, which left us fumbling to access our phones.

Many customers say that this mount has a high-quality silicone sling. Some customers complain that it is not compatible with sportbikes that have clip-on handlebars. They were also quick to criticize this mount’s plastic materials, saying they did not stop excessive vibration and broke easily when being readjusted.
