I had originally purchased this along with the iPhone 7 case. Unfortunately the bicycle I had that mount installed on was stolen. Since then I've purchased a second mount for my replacement bike. That alone should hopefully speak to the quality of the product.

It attaches very simply and easily to the bikes stem. Adjusting the angle of the mount is also fairly self explanatory.

The phone secures mechanically by way of the phone case, as well as a powerful magnet that prevents the phone from twisting free. Honestly once the phone has been installed on the mount it's not going anywhere until you want it off.

Not to ramble, bottom line this mount (and case) are an awesome addition to your cycling kit. A bit spendy, but we'll worth it as it's very well constructed and of high quality.

The best mount. No vibration.

Rock solid on the bike---no rattling around and no vibration at all (I wish I could say the same about my mirror). I use this mount with the Rokform RokShield V.3 Bumper Case when I'm on the bike. (I don't use the case except when I'm riding---it takes about three seconds to slide the phone into or out of the case.)

I've tried many mounting arrangements (most recently, the Whaoo, which was way too bulky rattled way too much), and this is the only one I'm actually happy with. I ride a road bike, though, and don't ride in the rain. That's an issue because the associated case isn't particularly water/mud proof, so if you ride trails, you might prefer one of the cases that seal the phone into the case. I prefer the lighter weight and lower bulk of the RokForm case. The mount comes with a heavyweight plastic bag you can slide over your phone, but that's pretty Micky Mouse.

There's no built-in battery, but that's a minor issue. For long rides, I strap a lipstick power pack onto the down tube using a Zefal Pump Strap and connect the battery to the phone with an 18-inch cable . Works like a charm.

Great way to carry your cellphone and monitor your ride

I have this installed in my Cervéjo P3 and I have done around 12 Triathlons + training. Ever since I installed it, this thing has not moved an inch! I even fell twice (minor falls) and it kept my phone in place. I leave the Wahoo app open on my iPhone 6, so I can monitor heart rate, cadence, speed, distance and time, all in one screen with big bright numbers (older people need them big!).
I bought one for my wife, however she has a Trek 5200 (1998) and it does NOT fit! Before you buy, make sure your bike has a round cap with a screw in the middle that can be removed, because that is where the mount will go, replacing the cap.
*** Update:
Almost three years using it now and it still works great!

I've been using Rokform mount in several of motorcycle over the past 4 year and always relied on it. This I say first bicycle mount from the same company. While it's a bit pricey, I know it' sturdy. I've gone for a few ride with this rig (it was super easy to intel) and thus far so good. I'm not worried about the case flying off as I';ve been in over 80mph on a motorcycle and it has never given up.

RokForm Bike Mount

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2014

I purchased the RokForm bicycle mount because it mounted directly to my bicycle at my stem cap (no zip ties or rubber straps), and allowed for different viewing angles. It's a very clean look, which I found desirable.

The mount arrived and was trivial to install on my bicycle - it took me less than a minute. The mount comes with two magnets, one to install on the mount itself (a little superglue and I was in business) and a magnet insert for the Rokbed Case. I'm not sure why the magnet wasn't already installed on the mount. Maybe some people don't want to use the magnet so they ship it but don't install it? The Rokbed case insert magnet was also easy to install, just popped the old insert out and popped the new insert with the magnet in.

The mount itself is a combination of metal and plastic. I didn't notice anything amiss with the metal, and everything seems machined well to my untrained eyes (everything was smooth and fit well, no rough spots). The plastic part looked equally sound.

It is easy to mount and dismount the Rokform Rokbed Case to the bicycle mount. You simply line everything up, seat it, rotate to lock it in place and you're set. I chose not to install the lanyard, though it was also included.

I went for a 15 mile ride and found the mounting was secure. At no point did I feel my Samsung 4 was going to come out of the mount. I was on my road bicycle, but some of the asphalt I was riding on was a little rough. I found the mount wanted to stand "straight up" after I went over some bumps (instead of lay down where I could see it). I simply pushed it back down and it wasn't a big deal. Adjusting the tightness on the lever point screw might alleviate this problem, but I was afraid to over tighten it as it mounts to the plastic stem cap. I expect the mount wanting to stand straight up after rough terrain (for a road bike) is just a fact of life with the RokForm mount. I don't mountain bike, but given the issue I had I *would not* use this particular mount for mountain biking. I would instead choose a mount that that does not allow for various viewing angles.

I did notice the road vibrations from my bicycle were passed right up to my case, and my case made a constant vibration sound the entire ride. It was quiet enough that I was mostly able to tune it out, but loud enough that I wondered what was wrong with my bicycle (until I figured out it was from the case). Once I touched the case/mount, the vibration (sound) stopped. I think I'll try to add a small piece of compressible foam to absorb the vibration.

After one ride, it appears to be a good, solid product and I expect it will last me at least a few years (presumably more). Overall, I'm pleased with the mount. A fixed viewing angle is probably preferable for me and I will consider using loctite to prevent the mount from "standing up" if tightening the screw doesn't work.

I can't imagine it costs them more than $10 to manufacture the mount so charging $60-$70 seems a bit steep, but I knew going into this I was choosing one of the more expensive mounts. Hopefully the extra expense means that it will last longer.

I bought this so I could have my phone handy while at the same time have a means to carry while riding my mountain bike. Rockford nailed it. This solution is virtually perfect. I have my phone with me and out of the way in a place I can use it and it’s protected by a great case. If you have any doubts just buy it and you can thank me later!

Almost perfect

Great mount and case for mountain biking. I've upgraded my phone and the case to the iPhone 6 but both cases have been very protective of my phone. The cases are bulky but for a potential crash on a bike it is exactly what is needed. The mount easily attaches to the bar. The case quickly clicks on and off the mount. Well designed and implemented. Only complaint with Rokforn is that they don't have an adapter for my bike for the stem mount. I have a 1 1/4 inch and all they make is 1 1/8 inch model. I hope they recognize Giant is making this size standard on their higher end bikes and will include an adapter in that model.

Awesome mount - minor rattle

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2013

Style: Mount OnlyProduct Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

This is, by far, the best mount I've found for my phone. I love how it positions the phone right in the center of the bike, and it doesn't clutter the handle bars up. The phone locks securely to the mount, and I have had no issues with it coming loose on the bumpiest of NYC roads. The phone also is easily removable which is perfect for when you need to park your bike

My only issue with the mount is that since installing it on the bike, I hear a very faint, light rattling sound. Its hard to describe, but it sounds more like a loose screw than a loose part or headset. It seems to go away when I put my hand on the phone. It's a minor annoyance rather than a major concern.

I do wish that Rokform had a security bolt option. In the city, I worry about every part attached to my bike getting stolen.

I love the concept, HATE & PRICE & HATE the Material

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2022

Style: Mount OnlyProduct Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

I have the Rokform iPhone case, magnetic sport ring, and now this bike mount. The case is made of a plastic material and is sturdy but the lock attachment is NOT. Since the magnetic sport ring and this Bike mount is made of metal, it eats up the threading of the phone case which will eventually make it unusable (with respect to the locking mechanism). The case does also lock to a magnet that is attached to the phone case and the bike mount for added security. The bike mount is made of metal and is quite sharp compared to the magnetic sport ring. This causes the bike mount to destroy the case threading over a few uses thus degrading the ability to attach in the future.

Over all, this product would be perfect if the phone case had a locking mechanism that was metal or some other more durable material that did not degrade as fast as the current design allows.

ON ANOTHER NOTE; I did file a claim with the warranty department and they did send a replacement case with no hassle. I also have no complaints on the actual bike mount. It is sturdy and the idea is great for bike commuting and mounting your phone for easy access/navigation. It was easy to install and straightforward. I think the price is a little high but that’s just my opinion.

Generally it is a great product, that being said I hit a large rock while riding my road bike . When I hit it I was riding on pavement at about 30 MPH . I was totally surprised when my I-Phone 12 popped right out of the case and fell out not the ditch! Luckily the phone came out unscathed
