Looking for the best phone holder for your motorcycle? Whether you're a casual weekend rider or use your motorcycle as a daily driver, having a secure and reliable mount for your phone is essential to keep you connected and safe on the road.

With so many options on the market, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one for your needs. Let's explore the top phone holders for your ride and help you evaluate your options.

We are the phone holder gurus here at Arkon Mounts, and we have something for just about, for just about every hobby. We've been around the block, and we'd love to share our top picks with you. 

Understanding Motorcycle Phone Mounts

When it comes to choosing a bike phone mount, there are several factors to consider, including the type of mount, material, and build quality. 

Material and Build Quality

The material and build quality of a bike phone mount are also important factors to consider. Look for mounts made from high-quality materials like anodized aluminum and glass-filled nylon, which are durable and long-lasting. A silicone strap can also be a good option for securing your phone in place.

Type of Motorcycle Mounts

• Handlebar mounts: These mounts attach to your handlebars and hold your phone securely in place.
• Stem mounts: These mounts attach to the mirror stem of your bike and hold your phone in a similar way to handlebar mounts.

Each type of mount has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it's important to choose the one that best suits your needs.

Handlebar vs. Stem Mounts

Handlebar mounts are a popular choice because they are easy to install and allow you to position your phone in a convenient location. 

Stem mounts, on the other hand, provide a more stable platform for your phone. They also keep your phone out of the way, which can be helpful if you need to access your bike's controls. However, they can be more difficult to install and may not be compatible with all motorcycle mirrors or handlebars.

Specific Cases

Specific cases are designed to fit your phone perfectly, which can provide a more secure fit. They also often include additional features, such as waterproofing or shock resistance. However, they can be more expensive than universal mounts, and may not be compatible with all phone models.

Features and Functionality

Two of the most important factors are security and protection, as well as ease of use and accessibility.

Security and Protection

One of the primary concerns when using a phone holder on your motorcycle is ensuring that your device is secure and protected. Look for a mount that provides a secure grip on your phone, and that can keep it in place even when you're riding on rough terrain. Additionally, consider whether the mount is waterproof or weather-resistant, as this can help protect your device from rain, snow, and other elements.

Ease of Use and Accessibility

Another key consideration is how easy the phone holder is to use and access while you're riding. Look for a mount that is easy to install and adjust, with clear instructions and minimal setup time. Additionally, consider how the holder positions your phone - does it allow for both portrait and landscape mode? Can you easily access the screen and buttons while riding?
