SP Connect

Things to know about SP Connect

SP Connect was founded in order to connect things that usually come separately, but once connected are just so much fun. Humans and boards for example. The first product that Thomas Krenn launched after starting his business in Austria in 1988 were snowboard bindings. Now, about 30 years later, SP Bindings still successfully makes those bindings, but has grown and branched out into other sectors such as SP Gadgets, where action cam mounts are made. SP United Holding’s headquarters are in Vienna. Development and production, however, take place in Germany, Slovakia, the USA and China. The products are shipped and sold around the globe. Ever since SP Connect started grabbing a hold of smartphones in 2016, the brand is known not only to winter sports fans, but also amongst motorcycle enthusiasts and motorists.

Phone mounts for bikes

But let’s stick to our favorite topic. Bikes. The more popular biking became, and the more indispensable mobiles became, the more urgent the need for a good connection between bikes and cell phones grew. Cyclists all over the world want inspirational music on the road, emergency contacts at hand or the precise navigation that a smartphone can offer, but without the fear of losing their phone halfway. That’s where SP Connect comes in.

SP Connect’s phone-mounts work really easily. You stick the interface to your phone. You put the mount somewhere on your handlebar. Just twist the two together. Done. The phone comes off if you twist the other way. It’s as simple as that.

You can either paste an interface directly to your phone or onto the cover. Or you can buy a phone cover that fits your phone and that already comes with an interface. The mounts can be installed via elastics, velcro or screwed directly onto your stem.

There are many places where your SP Connect phone mount comes in handy, its use is not limited to phones and bikes. You can put the mount on a stroller. Or on a running armband. You can connect a selfie stick or a tripod. All you need are the right mounts. There are several options for attaching your phone to your dashboard or windscreen.

You can buy the interfaces and mounts separately or in sets, there is a mountain bike bundle, a road bike bundle or a gravel bundle.

The clever twist-in mount will install any gadget anywhere, by the way. You can put lamps on your bike, or small speakers or your GoPro as well. It will also secure small handlebar bags or your bike GPS.

Let’s sum this up: SP Connect will attach your phone anywhere. But its favorite base certainly is your bike.
