Works great so far. A couple of things: After reading reviews about not getting tether, I wanted to make sure whoever I got mine from included this. I saw Semsons & Co., Inc. had 100% feedback, so I called their customer service number and the woman I spoke with confirmed that they only sell original RAM products packaged by RAM with everything that is included. So I went ahead and ordered from them. I received my package on time and everything (including the tether) was included. So those reading the reviews I highly recommend Semson's to buy from so you don't have to worry about not getting everything. Next thing is the rubber feet. Many stated they fell off or that the included glue didn't work. I had some crazy glue so I used that. The feet are on there nice and solid and after crazy gluing, I feel they will stay in place. I didn't bother using the included glue. Just my suggestion. Next thing are the nylon bolts. Many said they were junk, painted poorly, etc. I think they are fine for what you get. Just be sure to use the proper socket to install them and be careful when putting them on. Mine came new (not used), they installed fine, and none of the paint came off. If I had a con for this mount, it is that like many stated, I had to also move my phone down slightly in the mount so that the upper right foot did not rest on the side buttons. When I first put it in, it rested right on my power button and my phone turned off. After moving it slightly it is now fine and the foot is no longer resting on any of the side buttons (MOTO E 2nd gen). I know that this may concern you seeing the phone isn't centered in the mount, but with the tether it was held in secure. I only got to use it on one ride so far (3hr ride), but it stayed in place and didn't move at all. The only other minor con is that RAM doesn't include any mounting/installation instructions, only a brochure for other products and a one page picture brochure explaining how to use the tether. It isn't rocket science to install it and common sense should be all that you need to figure it out, but for those that rely on instructions, they might not be pleased. Overall I am satisfied with this mount and would not hesitate to buy one in the future. Now I just need to figure out which beverage mount I want to get for the other side of the handlebars. Review: A solid mount - I use this thing at least 4 times a week and I love it. It mounted to my handlebars on my bike easily and it lets me adjust my phone in almost infinite angles to get it where I need to see it as it records my routes and displays my pace. This is essentially 3 pieces of RAM mount gear in one package. The U-Bolt clamp is great for handlebars or even rearview mirrors. It may be useful on other things also but I’ve only used it on those 2 things. Make sure to tighten equally and don’t over tighten or you could risk crushing something. It is very sturdy though. The arm here is a mid-length arm that’s great for bikes. I have other lengths for other uses in cars and such. It’s a pretty sturdy couple pieces of metal essentially with an easy to turn plastic capped nut. It works great and doesn’t move even on rough terrain. The holder itself is sturdy and keeps my phone even on moderate off-road courses. I have my phone in a rubberized case so that helps with keeping it in place. The only times its fallen out were when I had the phone wrapped in a zip-lock bag as a poor man’s waterproofing, and when I had a major wipeout and got launched off of my bike. I got a waterproof case for rainy days and I try to avoid anything that will make me launch off the bike and through the air, and my phone stays solidly in place. The mount allows the phone to rotate slightly so if you don’t get it quite right when you tighten the arm you can adjust the phone if needed but it is firm and won’t flop around. I’m so happy with this that I’m ordering another for my wife’s bike and a U-bolt so that I can mount this easily onto my other bike. Once you have the RAM mount brackets installed in your car, bikes, motorcycles, or whatever you can easily move the arms and device mounts in seconds. I have RAM mounts to mount my phone, GoPro, GTech, and other devices in my vehicles and they have all served me well. ## Features - Spring-loaded 'X' design for large phones with rubber caps sports great holding power without hiding your phone; includes optional device tether for peace of mind during rugged use - Includes U-bolt base that accommodates rails from .5" to 1.25" in diameter and a medium length, B size RAM double socket arm; ball and socket technology allows for near-infinite adjustability - Made of powder-coated, marine-grade aluminum, stainless steel components, and high-strength composite for durability and reliability in the most demanding environments - Backed by a lifetime warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00JUWB6SO | | Best Sellers Rank | #56,584 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #32 in Powersports Handlebar Accessories | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (8,228) | | Date First Available | April 22, 2014 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 12 ounces | | Item model number | RAM-B-149Z-UN10U | | Manufacturer | RAM MOUNTS | | Other display features | Automotive Parts and Accessories | | Product Dimensions | 12 x 9 x 5 inches | | Special features | Exposure to vibrations, like those generated by high-powered motorcycle engines, might impact iPhone cameras, Hardware Included: (1) Optional Tether, (1) Glue Tube for Rubber Caps, (1) 1/4"-20 U-Bolt for .5" - 1" Rails, (1) 1/4"-20 U-Bolt for 1" - 1.25" Rails, (2) 1/4"-20 Nylock Nuts, (2) Rubber Caps, (1) U-Bolt Spacer, Phone Holder Dimensions: Width Range: 1.75" - 4.5", Depth Range: .875" max; Cl… | | Whats in the box | (1) Optional Tether (1) Glue Tube for Rubber Caps (1) 1/4"-20 U-Bolt for .5" - 1" Rails (1) 1/4"-20 U-Bolt for 1" - 1.25" Rails (2) 1/4"-20 Nylock Nuts (2) Rubber Caps (1) U-Bolt Spacer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** RAM MOUNTS - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Smartphones - **Mounting Type:** U-Bolt ## Images ![RAM X-Grip Large Phone Mount with Handlebar U-Bolt Base - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Hv20NTn1L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this hold/fit an iPhone 6 with an otterbox or other protective case?** A: I have a Samsung note 3 in a case. Measures 3.25 width by 6.25 heights. The ram mount works great. You do have to be careful on the position when setting phone. The volume button on left is .5 inches from the top. I position the phone so the top grips are just above the volume button. Works great. **Q: What size bar does the u-bolt fit?** A: I have the stock bars on a 2009 Harley FLHTCU. So whatever size those are, it works perfect. I believe it is 1-1/4". By the way, this is an awesome product. I keep my $600 phone in it and have no worries and the ball mount never moves unless I want it to. **Q: Why does the pn on the ram site have the a in it and this one doesn't? ram-b-149z-a-un10u** A: The A in the part number indicates the double socket arm in the kit is one inch shorter. Without, the A, it's a three inch arm, and with the A, it's a two inch arm. -Brian P., Ram Mounts. **Q: Will this work with motorola droid tubo 2 with otterbox case?** A: I too have a Droid 2 with Otter Box and have not found a good solution for mounting my phone. I have Yaffee ape high rise 1 1/4" bars I am tired of returning holders that either don't fit my phone or my handle bars. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent mount, buy from Semsons & Co., Inc. to ensure you get the tether-read my comments below. *by J***T on November 10, 2016* Bought this for my 98 electra glide.

Easy to install on any bike you ride and will hold securely at highway (and faster) speeds multiple hours and days at a time. Great even on crappy Oklahoma roads or windy Arizona highways. ## Frequently Bought Together - RAM Mounts X-Grip Large Phone Mount with Handlebar U-Bolt Base RAM-B-149Z-UN10U with Medium Arm for Motorcycle, ATV/UTV, Bike - RAM Mounts X-Grip Tether for Phone Mounts RAM-TETHER1U - Kinizuxi Motorcycle Phone Mount Tether 6 Pack,Replacement Silicone Bands for Bike Phone Holder, Phone Holder Grip Rubber Strap Security Bands for Bike, Bicycle,Motorcycle, Handlebar,Scooter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/12719111-ram-x-grip-large-phone-mount-with-handlebar-u-bolt](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/12719111-ram-x-grip-large-phone-mount-with-handlebar-u-bolt) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
