PROTO Inc. has launched the new "Fork Stem Wedge Base Metal Type" from "RAM MOUNTS," for which it serves as the official Japanese import distributor. This new product features a metal plug that securely fastens to the stem hole of supersport vehicles, enabling stable mounting of smartphones. The price is open.

Improved Holding Power with Metal Plug! Also Ideal for Clip-On Handlebar Vehicles

For motorcycles, especially supersports, that use clip-on handlebars, there is limited space around the handlebars to attach devices like smartphones. Therefore, mounting methods that utilize the through-hole stem located at the center of the front fork are a smart and popular choice.

In conventional stem hole mounts, rubber material was used for the plug to accommodate a wide range of vehicle diameters. However, this sometimes led to the mount itself rotating due to vibrations during riding or the weight of the smartphone.

The newly released "Fork Stem Wedge Base Metal Type" features an upgraded metal plug. This metal plug expands securely inside the stem hole and can be tightened firmly, significantly reducing rotation and slippage caused by vibrations.

RAM MOUNTS is a mounting solution brand founded in the United States in 1990. It offers parts that enable the mounting of a wide range of mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets, "anywhere." Due to their robustness and excellent vibration resistance, they are widely used not only in hobbies such as motorcycling and marine leisure but also in industrial fields like logistics, agriculture, and construction.

The rubber-coated ball portion reduces harmful vibrations to electronic devices, and combined with an innovative ball joint system, it securely holds devices in all environments. Its reliability is proven, with adoption by the U.S. military in its home country.

Available in Three Sizes. Combination with Vibration Damping Holders Also Recommended

The new Fork Stem Wedge Base is available in three sizes to accommodate various stem hole diameters. There are three types: for inner diameters of φ12-18mm, φ19-25mm, and φ25-32mm. Additionally, a "Spacer 3-Type Set" including all three spacers is available, making a total of four types.

This allows for optimal fitting according to the stem hole diameter of your motorcycle. All products are priced at open price.

We also recommend combining this wedge base with the separately sold smartphone holder, "Quick Grip Pro Cradle Holder (L) with Vibration Damping Ball, 1-inch Ball [VIBE-SAFE]." It offers the convenience of easy one-handed device attachment and removal while holding the device securely during rides.

This holder is a high-end model that can add wireless charging functionality by incorporating an Apple MagSafe charger (36W specification) or similar into the back. The adjustable lower arm is designed to align the charger and device, and to avoid obstructing the smartphone's side buttons and ports. It can also be used without a wireless charger.

Furthermore, a tether is included for use in open-cockpit environments. This is also sold at an open price.
