I have been using Peak Design handlebar mounts with 2 other e-bikes and both have been clutch for cruising on pavement and terrain. Because I decided to take up mountain biking, I needed a robust system that is more forgiving with shock and this thing delivers. I used a rubber shim to accommodate my handlebar and now I have the perfect solution for my bike. Paired with the Gnar case I now have great protection from dirt entering my charging port as well as superb impact protection. If you are looking for well engineered and elegantly designed mounts and protection, look no further.
I bought this MC bar mount a couple of weeks ago (May 1, 2025) and it arrived while I was away travelling so I was excited to install this on my MC when I got home. . .big disappointment. I have a Peak Design phone case for my iPhone, it is stock, no modifications, it fits nicely on the v2 bar mount, everything connects well but it will not charge my iPhone! I removed the Peak Design phone case and put my phone against the PD v2 bar mount charger and it lit up and started charging so I know the connection to the MC was good. I put the PD phone case back on and put the phone back on the MC bar mount and nothing!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey there! Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. Looking at the photos, it appears you're using both the adhesive universal adapter and our PD Everyday Case. Sadly, doubling up these two products is likely what is causing the charging disruption. We'll reach out to you via email to gather some more information so we can further assist you!
Was originally looking at other well known makes but comparing to the PD design this beats the others on all counts. Very secure mount both interface to phone case and securing to my bars. Didn't fully appreciate the care and detail of the design until it came to fitting. Very well thought out detailed design that's also been manufactured to a high standard.
I had a cover for cellphone to use it with maps, then after finding a peak design phone cover for cheap I have decided to pull the trigger with this mount and I have to admit I won’t ever go back. Really stable on my bike and very comfortable when you need to read directions. I hope it won’t overheat phone during sunny days. Charging works like a charm.
I spent a lot of time reading various reddit threads before finally making this purchase and I do not regret it! I bought the case for my phone as well and the on/off process with my phone is so seamless and great, it feels super secure and I appreciate how much flexibility I have in adjusting the angle. The one thing I haven't quite figured out is the right tension for the ball mount; my phone tends to lean forward over time on a long ride, but this feels like a minor inconvenience.
I have had this bar mount for a year, it has not let me down . the mount is so ergonomically built that it looks like it's part of the handle bars and there have been times I have left my phone attached to the mount and walked away from the bike.
