LOBOO motorcycle smartphone mount: PH02S and PH06 compared

Two models with 15 W wireless charging and two different approaches to vibration damping: multistage silicone pads versus a magnetic structure. Specifications taken from the manufacturer's documentation, with compatibility measurements given in millimeters.

MountingChargingVibration damping

In short. A motorcycle smartphone mount is a fastening system that keeps the phone visible on the handlebar, an accessory bar, or a dedicated bracket. Endurrad offers two LOBOO models: PH02S and PH06, both with wireless charging up to 15 W, fast wired charging, and 12–16 V DC power supply.

The difference that determines the choice. The PH02S uses a multistage damping structure with three silicone pads in a body made of technical plastic and alloy. The PH06 uses a magnetic damping structure in a body made entirely of aluminum alloy, and includes an additional attachment for the steering plate of sport motorcycles.

Before ordering, you need two measurements: the phone's dimensions with the case fitted and the diameter of the mounting point. The base cannot be replaced after purchase.

Motorcycle smartphone mount: what is it really for?

A motorcycle smartphone mount keeps the phone in a readable position without taking your hands off the grips. In practice, it addresses three distinct needs, and not all mounts handle them in the same way.

Mechanical security. The phone must remain in place on uneven surfaces, under braking, and during acceleration. This is the basic requirement that every mount claims to meet.

Power supply. An active sat-nav with the screen at maximum brightness consumes more power than a smartphone battery can sustain for a long stage. Integrated charging transforms the mount from an accessory into a component of the electrical system.

Vibration management. A handlebar transmits two overlapping types of stress: high-frequency vibrations generated by the engine and low-frequency impacts from the road surface. Both LOBOO models incorporate a structure designed to reduce some of them, using different technical approaches.

Multistage silicone damping

LOBOO PH02S

Mount with wireless charging up to 15 W and wired fast charging up to 24 W, DC 12–16 V power supply. Vibration management is provided by a multistage damping structure with three shock-absorbing silicone pads—main, intermediate, and lower—positioned between the phone cradle and the mounting structure.

The locking mechanism is snap-in: push the phone to secure it and press the release control to remove it, with no knobs to turn while wearing gloves. Rotation from portrait to landscape is achieved via a mechanical gear mechanism with tactile detents. The electronics incorporate eight separate protection features.

Compatible phones: width 65–98 mm, length 125–170 mm, thickness up to 13 mm with the case fitted. High-strength engineering plastic body combined with a metal alloy.

LOBOO PH06

The same inductive charging up to 15 W, with fast wired charging up to 36 W and DC 12–16 V power input, in a body made entirely of precision-machined aluminum alloy.

The key difference is the magnetic damping structure: the manufacturer describes it as a system with a greater range of movement, designed to attenuate vibrations transmitted from the handlebar more effectively. This is the feature that justifies this model’s existence alongside the PH02S.

Snap-locking and multi-angle geared rotation that can be operated with gloves. Integrated protection against reverse polarity, short circuits, overvoltage and undervoltage, overcurrent, overload, overheating, and foreign object detection.

Compatible phones: width 65–92 mm, length 125–169 mm, thickness up to 12.5 mm with the case installed.

Same body, different mounts. The PH02S is available in three versions: for tubes measuring 22, 25.4 (1 inch), 28, and 32 mm, bars measuring 12–13 mm, and mounts up to 10.2 mm. The PH06 adds a fourth version designed for sport bikes, which attaches to the steering stem plate hole with a diameter of 12 to 25.4 mm. Choose the version based on where you want to mount the holder, not on the motorcycle.

How to read this table. Wireless charging is identical on both models; what changes is the maximum power over the cable. The differences that really matter when choosing are three others: the damping principle used, the body material, and the phone's dimensional range. The PH02S accepts wider and longer phones, while the PH06 accepts slightly thicker phones and has one additional mount. Neither covers the entire smartphone market: measure your phone before ordering.

Vibrations and cameras: why the issue exists

This is why a motorcycle smartphone mount is technically more complex than a bicycle mount, and why it is worth explaining without causing alarm.

Many smartphones have an optical stabilization assembly in the camera: a magnetically suspended system that physically moves the lens to compensate for the hand's micromovements. It is a component designed for slow, small-amplitude oscillations.

A handlebar transmits something different: high-frequency vibrations generated by the engine, superimposed on stresses from the road surface. The combination varies significantly from motorcycle to motorcycle, depending on the engine architecture, balance, handlebar type, and mounting point. This is the technical reason why this product category incorporates dedicated damping systems.

Magnetic damping structure of the LOBOO PH06 smartphone mount against vibrations
The PH06's magnetic damping structure: the manufacturer describes it as a system with a greater travel range than elastic buffers. The PH02S instead uses three silicone bearings on successive stages.

The two LOBOO models address the problem in different ways. The PH02S places three silicone bearings on successive stages between the phone and the mounting structure, with the stated aim of increasing the oscillation amplitude to reduce the intensity transmitted. The PH06 uses a magnetic damping structure, described by the manufacturer as having a greater travel range and more effective attenuation.

Neither system can be presented as a guarantee, and the manufacturer itself makes this clear: the damping structure reduces high-intensity, high-frequency vibrations but does not eliminate them completely. The actual level of stress depends on the motorcycle, the handlebar's natural frequency, the mounting point, the phone, and the conditions of use. What can be stated precisely is which technology each model uses, as reported above.

The two measurements to take before ordering

These are the figures responsible for almost all returns in this product category. It takes two minutes and a ruler.

Smartphone compatibility range of the LOBOO PH06 mount, with measurements in millimeters
The three phone dimensions to measure: width, length, and thickness. Measure them with the case already fitted, because that is the actual configuration in which the phone will be used.

01 · Phone

Width, length, thickness

Measure the phone with its case fitted, because that is how you will use it. Thickness is the critical value: the PH06 accepts up to 12.5 mm, and the PH02S up to 13 mm. A rugged case alone can add 2–3 mm.

02 · Attachment

Mounting point diameter

Measure the diameter at the exact point where you want to mount the support: on many handlebars, the section changes between the center and the ends. This determines which version to order, and the base cannot be replaced after purchase.

03 · Space

Clearance and steering

Check that, in the chosen position, the mount does not obstruct your view of the instrument panel or the steering at full lock in either direction. On motorcycles with a windscreen or handguards, the available space may be less than it appears.

04 · Electrical

Power socket

Neither has an internal battery: they must be powered by 12–16 V DC, preferably from a switched positive supply. Route the cable away from hot or moving parts. If your motorcycle does not have an available power socket, one must be provided.

If your phone with its case fitted is more than 11 mm thick, or falls at the limit of one of the width or length ranges, write to us before ordering: we will check the match together. LOBOO product sheets do not include a motorcycle model compatibility list, and none is claimed on this page.

Which attachment to choose for your motorcycle

The version to order does not depend on the make or model of the motorcycle, but on the diameter and geometry of the point where you want to attach the mount. The same motorcycle may have multiple suitable mounting points with different diameters.

  • Tubular handlebar — clamp for tubes with a diameter of 22, 25.4 (1 inch), 28, or 32 mm. This is the version for most maxi enduro and naked motorcycles. Measure the diameter at the exact mounting point, not in the center.
  • Accessory bar or crossbar — for crossbars with a diameter of 12–13 mm, such as those already found above the instrument panel on many Adventure motorcycles.
  • Stelo dello specchietto — per i tubi di collegamento della staffa dello specchietto con diametro fino a 10,2 mm. È l'alternativa quando il manubrio è già occupato da comandi, riser e paramani.
  • Mirror stem — for the connecting tubes of the mirror bracket with a diameter of up to 10.2 mm. This is the alternative when the handlebar is already occupied by controls, risers, and handguards.

Steering plate — available only on the PH06, it attaches to the plate hole with a diameter of 12 to 25.4 mm. This is the solution for sport bikes, where there is no usable space on the clip-on handlebar.

If you navigate frequently and are considering the entire category rather than just phone mounts, the motorcycle navigator buying guide compares smartphones, dedicated GPS navigators, and CarPlay displays. Dedicated devices are collected in the GPS and CarPlay navigators for motorcycles collection.

Where to mount the support: brackets and adapters

On many Adventure and Touring motorcycles, the handlebar is already occupied. In these cases, the mount is installed on a dedicated navigation bracket, which provides a free tubular section in the correct reading position.

Frequently asked questions about LOBOO smartphone mounts

Which LOBOO smartphone mounts are available on Endurrad?

Two LOBOO models are available on Endurrad: the PH02S and the PH06. The PH02S comes in three mounting versions, while the PH06 comes in four. The versions differ only in the mounting type: the mount body is identical within each model.

What is the difference between the LOBOO PH02S and PH06?

Both offer wireless charging up to 15 W and DC 12–16 V power input. There are four differences: the anti-vibration system (a multistage structure with three silicone pads on the PH02S, and a magnetic damping structure on the PH06), the body material (technical plastic versus aluminum alloy), the maximum wired charging power (24 W versus 36 W), and the number of available mounts (three versus four). The PH02S accepts wider and longer phones, while the PH06 accepts slightly thicker phones.

Is the mount called PH02 or PH02S?

It is the same reference. PH02 is the designation shown in the manufacturer’s specifications, while PH02S is the code LOBOO uses in product references and SKUs. There are not two separate products in the catalog.

How can I check whether my smartphone is compatible?

Measure the phone’s width, length, and thickness with the case already installed, because that is the actual configuration in which it will be used. The PH02S accepts phones from 65 to 98 mm wide, 125 to 170 mm long, and up to 13 mm thick. The PH06 accepts phones from 65 to 92 mm wide, 125 to 169 mm long, and up to 12.5 mm thick. Thickness is the measurement that most often rules out a combination: a reinforced case alone can add 2–3 mm.

Is the LOBOO smartphone mount compatible with my motorcycle?

Compatibility does not depend on the motorcycle model but on the mounting point. The available versions cover 22, 25.4, 28, and 32 mm tubular bars, 12–13 mm tubes, and stems up to 10.2 mm; only the PH06 also adds a steering-head mount with holes from 12 to 25.4 mm. LOBOO documentation does not provide a detailed model-by-model list: tell us the make, model, year, and accessories already installed, and we will check compatibility before you order.

Does the LOBOO smartphone mount have wireless charging?

Yes, both models support wireless charging up to 15 W, as well as fast wired charging: up to 24 W on the PH02S and up to 36 W on the PH06. The actual power reached depends on the protocol supported by the phone: many devices stop below the maximum value and, at high temperatures, reduce or stop charging to protect the battery.

Does wireless charging work with a case?

Inductive charging works through non-metallic cases within the maximum thickness permitted by the mount. Metal cases, magnetic rings, plates for magnetic mounts, and Popsockets can shield the field or trigger the foreign-object protection. In that case, wired charging remains available.

Does the LOBOO mount reduce vibrations?

Both models incorporate a structure designed to dampen vibrations, using different technologies: three silicone cushions on successive stages in the PH02S, and a magnetic structure in the PH06. The manufacturer specifies that the system can reduce high-intensity, high-frequency vibrations, but cannot eliminate them completely. The actual attenuation depends on the motorcycle, the mounting point, and the conditions of use.

Can motorcycle vibrations affect the smartphone camera?

The optical stabilization system found in many smartphones is designed for slow, small-amplitude oscillations, whereas a handlebar transmits high-frequency vibrations generated by the engine, combined with shocks from the road surface. This is the technical reason why this product category incorporates damping systems. No mount can be presented as a guarantee of protection: the severity of the stress depends on the motorcycle, the phone, the mounting point, and the hours of use.

Is the mount waterproof?

LOBOO does not declare a certified IP rating for either the PH02S or the PH06. Both are designed to withstand exposure while riding, but they are not intended for immersion or pressure-washer cleaning. After heavy rain, it is advisable to dry the connectors. In any case, the resistance applies to the mount, not the smartphone.

Does the motorcycle need a power outlet?

Yes, for using the charging function. Neither model has an internal battery: they must be powered at 12–16 V DC, preferably from a switched positive connection. Route the cable away from hot or moving parts. Both models integrate eight electronic protections, from reverse-polarity protection to foreign-object detection.

Can it be used with gloves?

Yes. Both models use a snap-lock mechanism: push the phone in to secure it and press the release control to remove it, with no knobs to tighten. Rotation from portrait to landscape is carried out through a mechanical gear with a tactile click, recognizable even when wearing winter gloves.

Can I mount a LOBOO mount on an accessory bar?

Yes, provided the bar diameter falls within one of the available size ranges. Many accessory bars and crossbars have a diameter between 12 and 13 mm, which is covered by the fixed-position 13 mm version. If the bar is larger, up to 32 mm, the standard clamp version is the correct choice.

Where can it be mounted if the handlebar is already full?

The two most commonly used alternatives are the dedicated navigation bracket, which frees up a tube in front of the instrument cluster, and the mirror-mount adapter. Endurrad offers LOBOO brackets specifically for the BMW R 1300 GS, BMW F 750/850/800 GS, KTM 390 and 790 Adventure, Husqvarna Norden 901, Ducati DesertX, Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Pro, CFMOTO 800 MT, and Honda ADV350, as well as RM02 mirror adapters.

Which smartphone mount should you choose for an Adventure motorcycle?

If your use regularly includes unpaved roads and rough surfaces, the PH06 is the model with the vibration-damping system claimed by the manufacturer to be the most effective and with a body made entirely of aluminum alloy. If the phone is more than 92 mm wide or 169 mm long, the PH02S is the only compatible option of the two. On motorcycles with a crowded handlebar, it is also worth considering a dedicated navigation bracket, which frees up the correct viewing position.

Are there alternatives to LOBOO mounts on Endurrad?

Yes. The Outplorer range is built around a different anti-vibration principle, using air suspension, and includes both complete mounts and individual mounts for the Quick Launch system. The range’s reference model is the Outplorer PH10 smartphone mount.

Where can I buy LOBOO smartphone mounts in Italy?

The PH02S and PH06 mounts, along with the navigation brackets and adapters from the same range, are available from Endurrad with tracked shipping throughout Italy and the 24-month legal conformity warranty provided for consumers.
