Peak Design - Motorcycle Mounts & Cases

A cleaner way to mount your phone on your bike.

In the workshop, we get asked about phone mounts a lot.

Not because riders want more tech on their bikes, but because phones have quietly become part of how we ride:

• Navigation
• Route planning
• Meeting points
• Comms
• Tracking

Phones already do all of that.

So the question isn’t whether to mount a phone, it’s how to do it without cluttering your cockpit, compromising how your bike rides, or buying the same setup over and over again, especially if you’ve got multiple bikes.

That’s where Peak Design Moto Mounts & cases come in, and why we stock them, demonstrate them, and run them on our own bikes at Machinehead Moto.

See the video filmed in our workshop, where we run through the mounts and cases.

This page explains what you’re seeing, and why the system works the way it does if you’re comparing different phone mount options.

Considered design

One thing stood out straight away when we started stocking Peak Design mounts and phone cases:

They’re easy to demonstrate.

• No long explanations
• No “line it up like this”
• No awkward twisting or fiddling
• No rubber bands holding your phone on while you ride

 

The phone drops onto the mount, locks positively, and releases deliberately.

You can see and feel exactly what’s happening, which matters when you’re using it every day, including at a petrol station with gloves on.

It’s a setup that makes sense the moment you use it.

 

One phone setup, multiple bikes

This is where many riders notice the difference.

With Peak Design, your phone and case stay the same.

Once mounts are fitted to your bikes, you can move your phone between them without rebuilding anything each time.

That matters if you:

• ride more than one bike
• swap bikes seasonally
• share bikes
• or simply don’t want duplicated setups
  
  

Compared to systems that work best as a fixed installation, Peak Design suits riders who value flexibility.

It’s not about better or worse. It’s about how you actually ride, and how you own bikes.

Watch the video and you’ll see this clearly, as we move through the setup rather than talking around it.

And it’s not just our customers. Our team are the same , a growing bike collection, all now running Peak Design mounts and cases.

One phone. One case. Different bikes.

Phone cases that just work

Another quiet win is the phone case itself.

Peak Design’s cases are slim, well-finished, and feel like normal everyday cases. You don’t need to swap cases before a ride or live with something bulky the rest of the week.

That matters more than people expect, especially if your phone is on and off the bike regularly.

It suits commuters, weekend riders, travellers, and anyone who doesn’t want a bike-only phone setup.

In the video, we run through the Everyday case and the more rugged Gnarr case, showing the difference in protection and grip while keeping the same clean mounting interface.

Details that matter on wet rides

A small but clever detail becomes obvious the first time you ride in the rain.

The cases include covers over the charging and speaker ports, which helps prevent water detection warnings when you plug your phone in later.

Simple, and it saves time and frustration after wet rides.

Clean cockpits, not gadget bars

We’re picky about what we bolt to bikes.

Peak Design mounts are visually calm. They don’t dominate the bars, don’t feel like add-ons, and sit naturally in modern cockpits, whether that’s ADV, road, naked, or custom builds.

They align nicely with how we approach installs at Machinehead: integrated, tidy, and reversible.

Visit the workshop and we’ll happily demonstrate the different mount options, including bar mounts, mirror mounts, and brake or clutch perch mounts for bikes where handlebar space is limited.

While you’re riding

The mount includes vibration damping designed to protect modern phone cameras from engine and road vibration, without turning the setup into a stack of extra parts.

It’s there because it needs to be there.

The system also supports wireless charging, and in use we’ve found it doesn’t just maintain battery level, it actively charges the phone while riding, even with navigation running.

That alone removes a lot of low-level ride stress.

Why they’re on our bikes

We show them in the workshop, and we ride with them on our own bikes.

That means:

• Pop in and see how the system actually works
• We can walk you through it properly
• We use it day to day, not just on the shelf

It’s a clear look at how the system behaves on the bike — being ridden properly, whether that’s road, mud, desert, or wherever we decide to point the front wheel.

If you haven’t watched the video yet, it’s worth five minutes. It shows more than any spec list ever could.
