Works great to hold the phone on your road or mountain bike. The three park system of locking, magnetic and strap work great (obviously, this is the holder and you still need the case) and feels very secure. Phone installs and removes easily, though I must say I did keep forgetting the strap needs to slip through/off the handlebar at first.
(BTW: After trying so many products/systems for my phone to be used in many situations, I must say that I am most pleased with Rokform.)
I have a recumbent bike. I had to purchase longer m6 bolts off of amazon to mount properly. Tighten the bolt really well or else it will come loose. I also used locktight. Now that it is set I love this lock and highly recommend it. Wish the company would provide a longer bolt. I think they sent 30mm and I ordered 40 or 45mm but I had to order a set and it cost $12. This bolt is not sold locally at Lowe’s.
I had originally purchased this along with the iPhone 7 case. Unfortunately the bicycle I had that mount installed on was stolen. Since then I've purchased a second mount for my replacement bike. That alone should hopefully speak to the quality of the product.
It attaches very simply and easily to the bikes stem. Adjusting the angle of the mount is also fairly self explanatory.
The phone secures mechanically by way of the phone case, as well as a powerful magnet that prevents the phone from twisting free. Honestly once the phone has been installed on the mount it's not going anywhere until you want it off.
Not to ramble, bottom line this mount (and case) are an awesome addition to your cycling kit. A bit spendy, but we'll worth it as it's very well constructed and of high quality.
For what this is it shouldn’t cost so much. It does the job though. My phone has stayed secure except for one wreck I had but that was my fault and to be expected as I did hit the ground hard.
When they say it takes less than 5 minutes to install, they are not kidding. If it takes more than 5 minutes you either have a broken arm or a head injury.
It is lightweight and well made. The first ride I did with this on I went endo going down a rooty wash and I left the bike but my phone stayed put. I have had the version that clips to your handlebars and I will tell you this is far superior. You phone will stay put.

This is, by far, the best mount I've found for my phone. I love how it positions the phone right in the center of the bike, and it doesn't clutter the handle bars up. The phone locks securely to the mount, and I have had no issues with it coming loose on the bumpiest of NYC roads. The phone also is easily removable which is perfect for when you need to park your bike
My only issue with the mount is that since installing it on the bike, I hear a very faint, light rattling sound. Its hard to describe, but it sounds more like a loose screw than a loose part or headset. It seems to go away when I put my hand on the phone. It's a minor annoyance rather than a major concern.
I do wish that Rokform had a security bolt option. In the city, I worry about every part attached to my bike getting stolen.
I really like the mount. It's very protective of my phone. I actually ran over my phone with my jeep on accident of course and the phone survived unscathed because of the rokform case. The mount is on my road bike and I have never had a problem with it. The phone feels very secure and attaches very quickly. Over all great product all though it is a bit pricey.
Stylish look. Does not “ over engineer” the bracket and doesn’t look all chunky and cheap. Well done
I own three rokform mounts I wouldn't use any other kind of phone mount
I purchased two of these mounts recently. One for my mountain bike and one for my road bike. My phone says put even on the rocky downhill sections of the trail. I had to purchase a longer bolt to reach down to the star nut, but installation was a breeze. I'm very satisfied.
