Since I had already bought a Quad Lock case for my smartphone, it was only natural to equip my Kawasaki H2 SX SE with a proper mount from the same brand. My fork stem had previously hosted a Garmin zūmo XT2 mount, which I planned to replace with a Chigee AIO-6 unit, so I needed a Quad Lock mount for some other position on the bike. After some research and consideration, I went with the Brake/Clutch Mount, a compact and sturdy system that attaches directly to the brake or clutch lever clamp. On my bike, I mounted it to the brake side, where it offers a pretty clear view of the screen without interfering with handlebar movement.
I later swapped the blue lever for a black one to better match the bike’s deep green color, a small but important aesthetic detail for those of us who care about design harmony. This mount serves as my backup navigation solution, in case my main GPS system ever fails, something that once happened to me during a trip through France. Ever since, I make sure to have two navigation options available. The Quad Lock system isn’t quite as effortless to clip in as the promotional videos suggest, but once your phone is locked in place, it stays there rock solid, no matter the road conditions.
Overall, the Quad Lock Brake/Clutch Mount delivers what it promises: a reliable, well-engineered solution for securely holding your phone on a motorcycle. While brands like SP Connect and Peak Design offer interesting alternatives, with the latter featuring a magnetic mounting system that looks particularly promising, I haven’t personally tested either of them yet, so I can’t give a fair comparison.
