RAM Mounts Handlebar U-Bolt Double Ball Mount - Durable Handlebar

In this review of the RAM Mounts Handlebar U-Bolt Double Ball Mount with Medium Arm, the bottom line is simple: this is a rugged, no-nonsense handlebar mounting solution for riders who need rock-solid support for GPS units and other devices. It is aimed at cyclists and motorcyclists who want a compact mount that holds gear securely at highway speeds and on rough trails. The single biggest reason to buy is the mount's combination of a zinc-coated U-bolt base and powder-coated, marine-grade aluminum construction that delivers reliable durability and near-infinite adjustment with RAM ball and socket technology.

Key Features

• Zinc-coated U-bolt base: fits rails from.5 in to 1.25 in in diameter so it installs on most bicycle and motorcycle handlebars without modification.
• Medium double socket arm: provides a stable medium-length reach that balances adjustability and compactness for device placement.
• Diamond adapter ball base: connects to a wide variety of device holders so you can use the same mount with different GPS or phone cradles.
• Marine-grade aluminum: powder-coated construction resists corrosion and stands up to demanding riding conditions and weather exposure.
• Ball and socket technology: allows near-infinite adjustability so the device can be positioned for optimal viewing and reduced glare.
• Lifetime warranty: gives long-term peace of mind for an investment that will be used on daily commutes or off-road trips.

Who It's For

This mount is best for riders who need a compact, heavy-duty solution to hold a GPS or device securely on handlebars ranging from.5 in to 1.25 in in diameter. It particularly suits motorcyclists who ride at speed and mountain bikers who encounter rough trails, since customers report it stays put under vibration and impact.

Riders who want a lightweight plastic or ultra-minimal mount to reduce weight or those with nonstandard handlebar arrangements that exceed the specified diameter range should look elsewhere. Also, those who need integrated quick-release features not mentioned in the product description may prefer a different style of mounting system.

Pros & Cons

Cons

• Not the lightest option available, so minimalists may find it heavier than some plastic mounts.
• Fixed medium arm length may not suit riders who need very long reach or extremely compact mounting in one specific setup.
