SW-Motech Tankbag GPS|Smartphone Mount

The SW-Motech Tankbag GPS|Smartphone Mount is a modular device mounting solution designed to integrate with SW-Motech EVO tankbag systems. This mounting accessory allows riders to securely attach GPS devices or smartphones directly to their tankbag, keeping navigation visible while maintaining easy access to tank-mounted luggage. Unlike universal handlebar mounts, this system integrates with the tankbag platform for reduced handlebar clutter and vibration-dampened device protection.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

EVO Tankbag Integration: Designed specifically to mount onto SW-Motech EVO tankbag systems, creating a unified luggage and navigation platform without occupying handlebar space.

Quick-Lock Attachment: Tool-free installation and removal using SW-Motech’s Quick-Lock interface allows riders to add or remove the mount between trips based on navigation needs.

Vibration-Dampened Platform: Tankbag mounting position reduces handlebar-transmitted vibrations compared to direct handlebar mounts, protecting sensitive electronics during long rides.

Pros & Considerations

Pros:

• Clears handlebar space while keeping navigation visible and accessible
• Tool-free installation integrates directly with EVO tankbag systems
• Vibration-dampened mounting platform protects electronics better than rigid handlebar mounts

Considerations:

• Requires SW-Motech EVO tankbag system – not compatible with other brands’ tankbags or as standalone handlebar mount
• Device viewing angle depends on tankbag position and rider posture, which may differ from adjustable handlebar mounts on certain bike models

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which SW-Motech tankbags is this mount compatible with?

A: This mount is designed for SW-Motech EVO tankbag systems that feature the Quick-Lock mounting interface. It will not fit older SW-Motech tankbag models or tankbags from other manufacturers. Verify your tankbag has the EVO Quick-Lock ring before purchasing.

Q: Can I use any smartphone holder with this mount?

A: Yes, the mount accepts standard GPS device holders and smartphone mounting systems that use universal attachment interfaces. You can use SW-Motech’s own device holders or compatible third-party options like RAM mounts or quad-lock adapters.

Q: How does this reduce vibration compared to handlebar mounts?

A: The tankbag acts as a vibration-dampening buffer between the bike’s frame and your device. Handlebar mounts transmit direct high-frequency vibrations from engine and road inputs, while tankbag mounting isolates devices through the bag’s material and mounting system, reducing stress on camera stabilization and internal components.

Q: Is the mount waterproof?

A: The mount itself is weather-resistant and designed for all-weather riding. However, device waterproofing depends on your GPS unit or smartphone case. Use waterproof device cases or covers for electronics during rain, as the mount provides mechanical security but not weather sealing for attached devices.

Q: Can I install this mount myself without professional help?

A: Yes, installation is completely tool-free using SW-Motech’s Quick-Lock system. Simply align the mount with the Quick-Lock ring on your EVO tankbag and twist to lock. Removal is equally simple by twisting in the opposite direction, allowing you to add or remove the mount between trips.
