X-Guard Small Tube Mount A+ Silver – Motorcycle Phone Mount 12-18.5 mm Tubes

The X-Guard Small Tube Mount A+ in matte silver finish is the motorcycle mount for thin tubes, from 12 to 18.5 mm in diameter: mirror stems, crossbars, bicycle handlebars, and the X-Guard brake fluid reservoir adapter. It is machined from solid 6061 aluminum, has an adjustable arm to position the phone at your preferred viewing angle, and a double-fixing safety lock in addition to the Cube attachment. The phone can be mounted and unmounted in one second, with one hand, either vertically or horizontally. It is the same item as the black version: only the color changes, and on motorcycles with visible chassis, light aluminum is often the more coherent choice.

✓ Strengths

• Machined 6061 aluminum – official manufacturer data: it's not plastic, it doesn't flex with the phone mounted.
• Matte silver finish – matches motorcycles with exposed aluminum forks, triple clamps, and mirrors.
• Double-fixing safety lock – a second retainer is added to the Cube attachment.
• Adjustable arm – the phone can be tilted to find the right angle for your riding position.
• One-second, one-hand attachment – vertical or horizontal, without having to adjust screws every time.
• Declared 97.8 g – lightweight for an all-metal mount.

Technical specifications

Data sources: official Intuitive Cube datasheet for the same item regarding material (machined 6061 aluminum), dimensions 131 x 32 x 30 mm, weight 97.8 g, and double-fixing safety lock, and reseller datasheets with clear EAN and model code (4712918990804 / 185.4102.888 / XC14-5269A) for confirmation of the 12-18.5 mm range and matte silver finish. The manufacturer does not declare a maximum load.

Compatibility

Vehicle side: tubes from 12 to 18.5 mm in diameter — mirror stems of motorcycles and scooters, handlebar crossbars, bicycle handlebars, frame tubes of that diameter, and the pin of the X-Guard brake fluid reservoir adapter. Phone side: accommodates all X-Guard covers with Cube attachment and the Universal Holder for smartphones from 4.7" to 6.7".

Recommended products and accessories

• X-Guard Universal Holder 4.7-6.7" – if you don't have an X-Guard case for your phone, this completes the system.
• X-Guard Brake Fluid Reservoir Adapter – if there isn't a free tube of the right size on your motorcycle.
• X-Guard 3-Axis Anti-Vibration Dampener – protects the optical stabilization of cameras.
• X-Guard Small Tube Mount A+ Black – the same mount in a black finish.

Who is it perfect for?

For those who have a motorcycle where the handlebar is occupied or not accessible and still want a serious metal mount, not a plastic clamp — and for those on naked bikes and scramblers with exposed aluminum who prefer the mount to match the rest rather than disappear into black. The mirror stem is often the best spot: high, central, and the phone ends up near the line of sight. The adjustable arm is more useful than it seems: with a helmet and visor, the right angle is different from what you imagine when stationary. To be honest: it costs more than a universal street vendor mount, but it's machined from solid aluminum with a second safety lock. Just check the tube size: 12-18.5 mm, not 22.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference with the black version?
Only the color. Material, dimensions, weight, and function are identical.

Is it suitable for my motorcycle's handlebar?
Only if the tube measures between 12 and 18.5 mm. A standard motorcycle handlebar is 22 mm: in that case, the Handlebar Mount A+ for 20-32 mm is needed. This model is designed for mirror stems, crossbars, and bicycle handlebars.

Is the phone case included?
No. This is the mount that attaches to the vehicle: an X-Guard case with a Cube attachment or the Universal Holder is required.

Is it metal or plastic?
Machined 6061 aluminum, manufacturer's declared data.

Can the phone come off by itself?
The Cube attachment is mechanical, and there's also a double-fixing safety lock: it must be deliberately unlocked. It's completely different from a spring-loaded clamp.

Is the silver shiny or matte?
Matte. It's the finish that retailers refer to as "matte silver" or "silver gray."
