Best Mount for rough terrain

Howdy folks, I'm a recent convert from a life long Garmin user and I'm loving my hammerhead, but just one problem I have, the mount supplied with the unit is currently on my road bike and works great, but I also have 3 mountain bikes and a gravel bike that I'm using some original garmin mounts and also some after market k-edge mounts to hold on my Karoo, but time after time the unit falls off on very rough terrain, I've just been lucky to date that I haven't damaged the screen, just a few scuffs on the case. 

My question is what mounts are people using for off road riding ? or any tips really on how to safely secure my wonderful karoo before I end up smashing the screen  some day :-( 

I haven't tried the original hammerhead mount on the mountain bikes yet, as I can't see them for sale anywhere so I'm guessing that I'll have to find a suitable 3rd party mount for the rough stuff. 

 

cheers

  Patrick, the Barfly mount I was originally supplied from Hammerhead is still the most secure. Certainly more secure than the garmin mounts I have on my other bikes. Cheers Al

  I was thinking the same thing Alistair, but can't find them for sale as individual units anywhere, and I need 4 more :-(

  Hi Patrick, Thank you for sharing your experience. We ran out of stock in regards to the Bracket Mount. In that case, i suggest you go for any third party Mounts until we restock it.

  This link helps you with other compatible Mounts: https://support.hammerhead.io/hc/en-us/articles/360006082854-Compatible-Aero-Non-standard-handlebar-mounts

  Adding to this, we recommend that you use the lanyard on all your rides for added safety.
