Which phone holder should you choose for your motorcycle?

Which motorcycle phone holder should you choose? It all comes down to one point: the available space on your cockpit. A clear tubular handlebar accepts the simplest mounting. A sportbike bracelet handlebar, a maxi scooter dashboard or a cockpit loaded with controls each require a different attachment. This guide leads you to the right mounting, then to your model's page.

Which mounting for which motorcycle?

The choice is made first and foremost on the shape of the cockpit, not on the engine capacity or the brand. This table sums up the four scenarios.

Your cockpit	The mounting	The product
Clear tubular handlebar (roadster, trail, custom)	Screwed onto the handlebar	PRO motorcycle holder
Bracelet or half-handlebar (sportbike)	Screwed onto the half-handlebar	MINI BOOST
Handlebar loaded with controls or GPS	360° extension arm	PRO BOOST
Maxi scooter with flat fairing	Screwed onto the dashboard	Maxi scooter holder
No space on the cockpit	On the mirror	PRO mirror holder

Your model isn't there? The mounting is chosen based on handlebar shape, not on the motorcycle: the table above is enough to decide in the vast majority of cases.

Sleeve or metal plate: which one to choose?

The metal plate, to place the bare phone

The adhesive metal plate (9.95 €) sticks to the back of a rigid, smooth case. The phone is then placed directly on the holder, without going through the Sleeve. It's quicker in everyday use, but the screen is no longer protected from rain: reserve it for short trips and fine weather.

The two accessories that make a difference

The anti-vibration (14.95 €) sits between the holder and the phone. It absorbs engine vibrations, which recent optical stabilizers in cameras struggle with over time. If you ride with a phone you also use for photography, this is the accessory not to neglect.

The 360° extension arm (14.95 €) moves and orients the screen. It's useful when the handlebar is already occupied, or when the holder position requires you to turn your head to read an indication.

The right holder is chosen based on the shape of your cockpit, not the engine capacity of your motorcycle.
