Bike X-Grip: Universal Motorcycle Reservoir Mount (RAM-B-174-UN7U)

The Bike X-Grip is the optimized version of the famous RAM-B-174-UN7U, a flagship product from American brand RAM Mounts. This motorcycle phone holder is known worldwide for its unique combination of mechanical strength, versatility and secure grip. Designed to mount on brake or clutch reservoir clamps, it’s the perfect solution for riders who want to use their GPS, music, or calls without worrying about losing their phone on the road.

Where cheap holders rely on fragile clips or plastic, the Bike X-Grip uses marine-grade aluminum, high-strength composite, and stainless steel hardware. This makes it resistant to rain, UV, shocks and thousands of miles—whether you ride in the city, on the highway or off-road.

A smartphone holder designed for bikers

Mounting a smartphone on a bike is more than just clamping it on the handlebar. There are many challenges: vibration, rain, dust, viewing angles, braking safety. The Bike X-Grip was engineered to handle all of them.

The U-bolt mount attaches directly to the brake/clutch reservoir for a solid and stable anchor, preventing shaking or flex. The double-socket arm allows full adjustment: vertical, horizontal, landscape or portrait mode—all secured with one knob.

The X-Grip® cradle is the heart of the system. Its four spring-loaded arms automatically adjust to your phone size, keeping the screen 100% visible and touchscreen fully usable. Works with or without a case. For demanding rides, an extra tether is included for maximum safety.
