Gift Guide: More iPhone Mounting Options From Quad Lock

As smart phones continue to evolve and offer innovative solutions to our everyday needs, so too do the accessories that support them. For cyclists, it’s becoming easier than ever to integrate smart phones onto our bikes, unleashing a whole host of opportunities for the tech-savvy riders out there. Whether you’re looking to harness the powerful potential of your phone’s GPS, listen to music, keep an eye on your riding metrics, or you just want to watch the cricket live on a long training ride, running a smart phone on your handlebar can be the perfect solution for many riders out there.

Leading the charge on iPhone integration, Aussie start-up Quad Lock has been killing it with their clever smart phone cases and Twist-Lock mounting brackets, which make it a breeze to fit and remove your phone from your bars. After successfully launching their Kickstarter campaign way back in 2011, their range of cases and mounting solutions has continued to grow. The latest addition to their lineup is the new out-front mount; a perfect upgrade for any cycling mate who’s already got a Quad Lock, but might be looking for that perfect position.

“The Out-Front Mount positions your phone for easier viewing as well as providing improved aerodynamics. The mount can be flipped to attach over the stem which is ideal for Mountain Bikes and short or unusually shaped stems.” – QuadLock

The QuadLock Out Front Mount features:

• Heads up position provides better viewing angle
• Aerodynamic low profile design
• Secure dual stage lock (Patent Pending)
• Can be rotated for over stem mounting
• Suits handle-bar sizes 31.8mm and 25.4mm
• Compatible with all Quad Lock Cases
• RRP: $39.95

The Out Front Mount is a simple add-on accessory from Quad Lock that is compatible with all current Quad Lock cases. Like the original K-Edge out-front mount for the Garmin GPS computers, the Quad Lock version offers the ability to push your iphone further forward of your handlebar for extended visibility. For mountain bikers, running the Out Front Mount backwards keeps your phone more directly over the headset top cap, which offers a lower-profile position in the event of a crash. One of the coolest features of the Out Front Mount is that a $9.95 GoPro add-on bracket allows you to fit your camera to the same bracket, offering a neat all-in-one solution for your riding buddies who crave tech-integration!
