RAM Mounts X-Grip® Phone Mount with RAM® EZ-On and Off™ Bicycle Base

The RAM Mounts X-Grip® Phone Mount with RAM® EZ-On and Off™ Bicycle Base is a tool-free quick-release phone mounting system designed for riders who frequently move their mount between motorcycles, bicycles, or need rapid installation without carrying tools. Unlike traditional U-bolt bases requiring Allen keys, the EZ-On/Off system uses a cam-lever clamp that secures to 0.5″ to 1.25″ diameter bars in seconds.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

EZ-On/Off Cam-Lever Clamp: Spring-loaded cam mechanism locks onto handlebars with finger pressure alone – no Allen keys, no screwdrivers, making installation and removal possible at trailheads, parking lots, or anywhere you need to swap the mount between bikes.

Multi-Vehicle Compatibility: Single mount moves between motorcycles, bicycles, e-bikes, and scooters as long as handlebar diameter falls within 0.5″ to 1.25″ range, eliminating need to buy dedicated mounts for each vehicle.

X-Grip Universal Holder: Spring-loaded rubber-coated arms accommodate phones from compact Android devices to large-screen iPhones, with or without cases, adjusting automatically to grip thickness.

Theft-Deterrent Design: Quick-release base lets you remove entire mount assembly when parking in unsecured areas, preventing theft of both mount hardware and forgotten phones.

Use Case Scenarios

• Riders who commute by motorcycle but weekend-ride bicycles and want one mount for both vehicles instead of buying separate systems
• Touring riders staying at hotels or guesthouses who prefer removing mounts overnight to prevent theft rather than leaving hardware exposed on parked bikes
• Adventure riders arriving at trailheads who need to quickly transfer mount from street bike to dual-sport or mountain bike for off-road sections

Why Choose the X-Grip EZ-On/Off Bicycle Base?

• Tool-free operation means you can install, adjust, or remove the mount without carrying Allen key sets on rides – critical when traveling light or bikepacking
• Cam-lever clamp provides sufficient hold for on-road and light off-road use while remaining removable by hand (not wrench-tight like U-bolt bases)
• Quick removal discourages theft – take the mount with you into restaurants, offices, or hotels rather than leaving expensive hardware on unattended bikes
• Single purchase serves multiple vehicles if you own both motorcycles and bicycles, reducing total mounting system cost compared to vehicle-specific solutions

Pros & Considerations

Pros:

• Fastest installation of any RAM handlebar base – cam lever locks in under 10 seconds without tools
• Portable between bikes, motorcycles, and e-bikes as long as bar diameter matches, maximizing mount utility across your vehicle fleet
• Removable design prevents mount theft when parking in public spaces or urban environments

Considerations:

• Cam-lever clamp is less vibration-resistant than U-bolt bases – excellent for bicycles and smooth-engine motorcycles, but aggressive off-road or high-vibration thumpers may loosen the clamp over time (periodic re-tightening needed)
• Quick-release convenience trades some security – determined thieves can remove cam-lever mounts faster than U-bolt systems, so always take mount with you or add cable lock through base when parking long-term

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How secure is the cam-lever clamp compared to U-bolt mounts?

A: The EZ-On/Off cam lever provides sufficient clamping force for bicycles, e-bikes, and street motorcycles on paved roads. For sustained high-vibration use (off-road riding, thumper engines, gravel roads), U-bolt bases offer superior grip. Check cam-lever tightness every few rides and re-tension if needed.

Q: Can I leave this mount installed permanently or is it only for temporary use?

A: You can leave it installed long-term, but the design favors frequent removal. If you never plan to remove the mount, a U-bolt base provides tighter permanent installation. The EZ-On/Off excels when you regularly swap between vehicles or remove the mount for security.

Q: Will the cam lever damage my handlebars or scratch the finish?

A: The clamp includes rubber inserts that contact the handlebar, protecting powder coat and anodized finishes from scratches. However, repeated installation/removal at the exact same spot may eventually wear through protective coatings – rotate clamp position slightly if moving frequently.

Q: How do I know if the cam lever is tight enough?

A: Close the cam lever until it requires firm hand pressure to complete the closing motion – you should feel resistance in the final 30° of travel. If the lever closes effortlessly, adjust the tension screw clockwise before latching. Test by attempting to rotate the mount around the bar – it should not twist under hand pressure.

Q: Can I use this mount on both my motorcycle and bicycle without buying a second base?

A: Yes, that’s the primary advantage of the EZ-On/Off system. As long as both vehicles have handlebars between 0.5″ and 1.25″ diameter, you can move the entire mount between them in seconds. Keep an Allen key in your toolkit to adjust the ball and socket joint for different viewing angles per vehicle.
