Is the Handlebar Mount compatible with all SP Connect universal solutions?Updated 5 hours ago
Yes. The SP Connect Handlebar Mount is compatible with all current SP Connect universal mounting solutions featuring the SPC+ system.
Thanks to the SP Connect Twist-to-Lock mechanism, you can securely attach your smartphone using a compatible universal solution, even if a dedicated SP Connect Phone Case is not available for your device.
Which Universal Solutions Are Compatible?
The Handlebar Mount supports the following SP Connect universal solutions:
- SP Connect Universal Interface
- Universal Interface Mini
- Universal Phone Case
- Universal Phone Case LT
- Universal Phone Case Xtreme
- Universal Phone Clamp
- Universal Charging Phone Clamp
- Universal Phone Holder
Important information about the Universal Phone Holder: The Universal Phone Holder is designed for horizontal smartphone orientation by default. However, the mounting head of the Handlebar Mount can be rotated by 90° using the included Allen key, allowing you to use the Universal Phone Holder in portrait orientation as well.
Please note: All universal solutions are sold separately and are not included with the Handlebar Mount.
Important: Compatibility with Older SPC Universal Solutions
The current Handlebar Mount uses the SPC+ mounting system and is not directly compatible with older SPC universal solutions.
You can identify the two systems by examining their mounting interfaces:
- SPC+ (current system): Features semicircular mounting rails and is compatible with the Handlebar Mount.
- SPC (older system): Features straight mounting rails and is not directly compatible with the current Handlebar Mount.
If you own an older SPC universal solution, a suitable adapter or an upgrade to a current SPC+ universal solution is required.
If you are unsure which system you own, please contact our Customer Support team at [email protected].
How Do I Attach a Universal Solution to the Handlebar Mount?
All compatible SP Connect universal solutions use the same Twist-to-Lock mounting principle.
- Install the Handlebar Mount: Attach the Handlebar Mount to a compatible section of your bicycle's handlebars and ensure that it is securely fastened.
- Prepare your universal solution: Secure your smartphone using the corresponding Universal Interface, Universal Phone Case, Phone Clamp, or Phone Holder. Follow the installation instructions for your specific product.
- Position the universal solution: Place its SPC+ mounting interface flat against the mounting head of the Handlebar Mount.
- Secure the connection: Rotate the universal solution by 90° until the Twist-to-Lock mechanism is fully engaged.
- Check the installation: Ensure that both your smartphone and the universal solution are securely attached before starting your ride.
To remove your smartphone, rotate the universal solution by 90° in the opposite direction and lift it away from the mounting head.
