About this deal

While new new SP Connect SPC+ system can be a little more fiddly to mount than the previous vesion, it is much more secure. Fitting an SP Connect SPC+ mount to your bike will vary depending on which you’ve bought, but generally it’s a simple process that just requires one or two Allen keys (which aren’t supplied in all the kits). The quality of the image provided by the customer must meet print standards to ensure a high-quality final product. You will be alerted if the quality is insufficient.

According to our tests, frequencies in the range of 30-60Hz cause the issues. Actual peak frequencies can vary depending on the weight and setup of the phone mount. The SP Connect Charging Anti Vibration Module includes the company’s vibration damping system (details below), and is made from machined aluminium that’s well sealed against the weather.I also liked that I could get a car mount (and a bicycle mount) so my phone was always secure and conveniently located no matter how I was getting around. Based purely on anecdotal evidence, I’ve long had a theory that it’s mainly Apple devices that have a problem with vibration on bikes, but when I bought my Pixel 7 Pro I was worried about the telephoto lens, which rattles when you shake it. I’m pleased to say though that after several months on my R1250GS (using the Anti-Vibration Charging Mount), I’ve had no problems at all, and my S21 (and previous S20) were mounted direct to various bikes without any issue other than that day on a W800. The reason you can't see the mount is because I have the wireless charger pad fitted - but you could obviously put the phone straight onto the mount without the charger. In my picture, you can just see the edge of the mount below the cable. When fitting you’ll need to decide whether you want to have your phone in a horizontal or vertical position, as apart from on the universal mount, you can’t change it without unscrewing it due to the way the phone attaches with a 90° twist. Most of the mounts have adjustment in 6° increments, so you should be able to get your phone to sit straight to most parts of the bike.

The RAM universal X-Grip mounts are popular with many (including road-test legend Simon Hargreaves), but they’re far from a subtle design, and some users report the phone’s buttons being pressed by the mount’s arms.This happened because, with the previous SPC mount design, it was possible to locate only one of the lugs when fitting. If you didn’t realise, the phone could shake loose, so it was important to take care when fitting your phone. Two mountsare also included: The Clamp Mount, which is fastened by means of a plastic hose clamp, and can be attached to the stem or on the handlebar. The Stem Mount, our most low-profile mount, can bescrewed in place of the stem cap. Both manufactures offer bar and mirror mounts that should work for most people/motorcycles. They also both offer a car mount which I find really handy. As with any case, dust will still collect inside, so it’s worth popping your phone out every so often for a clean. The interior has a soft fabric to protect your device, but grit around the edges will, inevitably, cause some marks eventually. I’ve yet to see any phone case that avoids this. Consequently I decided to buy the SP Connect Bar Clamp mount - but other manufactures offer similar set ups. I removed the lower right clamp bolt, and attached the mount with one of the longer bolts supplied in the kit.

Is it the bike’s engine vibration that’s causing the issue when it happens, or vibration from the road? Wireless charging works fine with the new cases, and the MagSafe compatibility means a suitable charger can snap into place, rather than having to hunt around for the sweet spot. I should say though that performance might depend on your phone – my Galaxy S21 will easily juice up wirelessly with its case on – even with a cheap charger I bought from the Pound Shop – but my Pixel 7 Pro seems to be very unreliable with wireless charging. This is a fault of the Google device though, not SP Connect, and problems appear well documented online . The new SPC+ design might be a little more fiddly to attach, but try as I might, I can’t get it to attach anything other than totally securely. It’s slimmer, stronger and MagSafe compatible, but most importantly, the new SPC+ is much more secure.For standard and oversize handlebars with diameters of 25.4 mm (1 inch), 31.8 mm (1 1/4 inch), 35 mm (1 3/8 inch) The vibrations from the motorcycle engine cause the impairment – the vibrations from the road are not an issue as they are too volatile. Peak Design has a small selection of motorcycle mounts for its range of phone cases, though some of the prices are quite high.
