Oxford CLIQR Universal Handlebar/Stem Mount

Product Information

CLIQR range is manufactured from glass-filled nylon due to its superior mechanical properties, light weight and durability. The CLIQR Handlebar Pivot Mount combines our bestselling 22mm handlebar mount (OX850) with a cast iron twin spar pivoting arm which allows you to position your device beside your controls for convenient viewing at a glance, perfect for navigating on the move. As a follow on from our informed SP Connect phone mount review in issue 72, our reviewer, o75, put it up against three others for an all-round comparison. Which did he favour? Alternatively, if you're not set on an out-front design, you could save a fiver and go for the stem-mounted CLIQR – which I found handled the rough slightly better too, in terms of being able to read the screen.

The CLIQR Universal Forward Mount offers the ideal aerodynamic position with a robust yet lightweight glass-filled Nylon body and durable stainless steel fixtures. Oxford says it's compatible with most phones, phone cases, GPS devices and compact action cameras. I tested it with my phone. The CLIQR Out Front Handlebar Mount is simple and effective. Swapping between bike and other locations will appeal to those who like to keep an eye on their phones, whether hitting the road or pushing the pram." - Seven Day Cyclist Not an inexpensive item at almost thirty quid for a few small items, but it is built well and does what it says. Easily fitted to my 13mm dia mirror stalks using the second largest of four rubber grommets. So far remains secure and easy to adjust to a convenient angle. Following on from the stem-mounted CLIQR, I've also been testing Oxford's CLIQR Out-Front Handlebar Mount. It's simple to use and very secure, although it is quite a chunky unit compared to some on the market.

Overall, the Oxford mount works well, and I would have complete confidence riding around with an expensive smartphone attached (if I had one!) regardless of the terrain. It's not the most elegant design on the market but it does the job without breaking the bank. Verdict The CLIQR Cable Tie Mount allows you to position your device beside your controls for convenient viewing at a glance, perfect for navigating on the move. In the box you'll find the out-front mount, two silicone inserts for wrapping around your handlebar – to suit 25.4mm or 31.8mm diameters – and two adaptors to attach to your phone or whichever device you are going to be using. The CLIQR Handlebar Riser Mount replaces your motorcycle riser clamp bolt, allowing you to position your phone in the optimum position without sacrificing space on your bars.

The mount itself is made from glass-filled nylon and it feels robust, probably a little over engineered for a road bike but for gravel use or mountain biking then it'll certainly take some abuse.
