How to properly mount your phone on a motorcycle?

Fixing your phone on your motorcycle is simple: a magnetic mount can be installed in 5 minutes, tool-free for strap models. The real question is choosing the right system based on your handlebar type and usage.

Which mount for your handlebar?

Most motorcycles (roadster, trail, adventure, custom) have a tubular handlebar between 22 and 28 mm. Three support levels cover this format:

• Motorcycle mount (elastic strap): tool-free installation, perfect for daily commutes. View motorcycle handlebar mounts
• Motorcycle mount PRO (screw lock): firm grip, recommended on rough roads and long trips.
• Motorcycle mount PRO BOOST (screw lock + 360° extension arm): position the screen towards the sun or according to your riding position without adjusting the handlebar. This is the most complete model in the range. View the PRO BOOST

Are you riding a sport bike with bar brackets? Turn to the half-bar mount, designed for low handlebars and tight spaces.

Screw lock resists where a strap can loosen: on rough pavement, in the mountains, or after a long road trip.

Engine vibrations: think about your camera

The engine generates vibrations that travel to the handlebar, then to the mount. On a short trip, the impact is limited. On a long distance or with a high-torque engine, your camera's optical image stabilization (OIS) can suffer.

Installation: how does it work?

Here's how a Shapeheart magnetic mount works:

1. Place the mount on the handlebar: wrap the strap or screw the collar depending on the model.
2. Stick the metal plate on the rigid shell of your phone, on the back. Only on a smooth, rigid case, never directly on the device. Or slide your phone into the magnetic Sleeve.
3. Place your phone: the magnet grips instantly. Removal is one-handed.

Allow 5 minutes the first time for tightening. After that, attachment and removal are instant, even with gloves on.

Rain protection: what the magnetic Sleeve does

The magnetic Sleeve protects your screen from water splashes during ordinary showers: a real advantage on outings in variable conditions. For very rainy days or mountain road trips, the waterproof Sleeve offers reinforced resistance against the elements. In both cases, placement and removal are one-handed, even with wet gloves.

What if the phone falls?

An unexpected impact, a rut you didn't see: even a good mount can give way in an extreme case. The phone tether attaches between the mount and the device. Simple added security, especially on highways or in the mountains.

If a component wears over time, replacement parts (strap, silicone cover) are available separately. No need to buy a whole new mount.
