Product Information
Full details
The Topeak Ridecase Car Mount is designed for cyclists and commuters who need a reliable, hands-free way to use their smartphone for GPS navigation while driving. By utilizing a heavy-duty suction mechanism, it offers a secure platform for your phone on any windscreen, ensuring stable viewing throughout your journey. While it provides excellent stability and versatile orientation options, users should note that it requires a specific Topeak ride case or drybag to function, meaning it is not a universal mount for bare devices.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is entirely tool-free. To set up, simply clean the desired area of your windscreen with a lint-free cloth to ensure the suction pad forms a proper vacuum seal. Place the mount against the glass and engage the locking lever until firm. To mount your phone, slide your Topeak ride case or drybag into the QuickClick receiver until it clicks securely.
Regarding compatibility, this mount is exclusively designed to support Topeak Ridecases and smartphone drybags. To maintain the suction power, wipe the suction cup periodically with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or debris. Avoid leaving the suction pad under direct intense sunlight for prolonged periods during non-use to preserve the rubber integrity.
