RAM-B-231Z Universal U-Bolt Ball Mount RAM Mounts 1" Ball Motorcycle ATV UTV Handlebar 1/2"-1-1/4" Marine-Grade Aluminum

OVERVIEW

The RAM-B-231Z is a versatile mounting base engineered to securely attach GPS units, smartphones, and radios to powersports vehicles with zero vibration-induced instability. This Universal U‑Bolt mount combines marine‑grade aluminum construction with an integrated 1" rubber ball, delivering a stable foundation for ATVs, UTVs, motorcycles, and snowmobiles.

ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE

Built from corrosion‑resistant marine‑grade aluminum finished with a durable black powder coating, this base maintains structural integrity across temperature fluctuations and exposure to road spray. The included stainless steel U‑bolt distributes clamping pressure evenly across handlebases ranging from half‑inch to one‑and‑quarter inches, preventing slippage during aggressive acceleration or hard braking. A precision‑molded rubber ball pairs seamlessly with any RAM B‑size arm or holder, offering smooth multi‑axis adjustability while actively isolating sensitive electronics from high‑frequency trail impacts.

WHY RIDERS CHOOSE THIS

Riders select the RAM-B-231Z because it transforms uneven handlebars into a standardized attachment point without requiring vehicle modification or permanent welding. The 1" rubber ball socket eliminates guesswork during setup, allowing quick tilt and pan adjustments while actively dampening engine chatter and trail impacts that otherwise damage delicate screen coatings. Its dual‑installation design—offering both clamp and mirror‑hole mounting options—gives operators the flexibility to position equipment for optimal glance angle behind windshields or mirrors. This ruggedized base remains a practical choice for daily trail riding, highway touring, and utility work where reliable device visibility directly supports safety and navigation.
