The new minimalistic Loop Mount Twist has a re-engineered turning mechanism to allows users to easily mount phones in either portrait or landscape mode. The CNC machined aluminium mount folds away when not needed for navigation, leaving tidy-looking bars.
The first iteration of the Loop Mount smashed its Kickstarter funding target when it was launched last July and now the campaign for the revised Loop Mount Twist reached its £10,000 goal within 20 minutes of going live—and it’s still growing, with over £60,000 now pledged.
Made from recyclable aluminium, anodised in silver and black, the phone mount folds up, which its developers say makes it more discreet than other offerings on the market.
Alongside the new twisting mechanism, there have been some adjustments designed to keep the phone tight and secure.
The grip strength has been upped to 3kg “meaning the phone is safe, but not crushed", say its developers.
The Loop opens up to 85mm which is enough for a large smart phone. Here are some examples of phones the Loop is compatible with:
It’s designed to fit all standard round bars from 22.2mm to 31.8mm in diameter. There are also new add-on accessories for helping the Loop Mount Twist fit on other bikes.
The Universal Adapter has a quick release elastomer strap to help fit stems, oversized bars or other unusual setups. “Depending on demand, we may tweak the design to use O-rings instead of the elastomer strap shown here,” the developers say.
There’s also a Brompton Adapter that’s designed to fit Brompton M-type bars where space is limited.
The Earlybird special Loop Mount Twist demands a £45 pledge on Kickstarter and saves you 31% off the RRP.
The first batch of products is excepted to be shipped in September 2021.

Thanks for the idea. My eyes water when there's too much airflow, this could help prevent it. I will have a go at a copy.

Surely it makes more sense to have the adapter fitted to the pedal?...
