QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Have a Question?

Ask a Question
  • my e bike has a tapered handlebar will this work?

    Yes the Ram Tough Strap RAP-B-460U is compatible with tapered handlebars as long as the handle bar depth meets the 0.875-1.38" clamping range of the product.

  • Will this work on a motorcycle ?

    RAM does not recommend using the RAP-B-460U on a motorcycle, that mount was intended for use with mountain bikes, road bikes, e-bikes, etc. For a motorcycle, an alternative to consider is our RAM-B-231ZU for an application in that type of environment.

Reading part numbers

The letter after RAM tells you the ball size: RAM-B-166 uses a 1" B ball, while RAM-D-201 uses a 2.25" D ball. C size parts are the exception and carry no letter, so RAM-201U is a C size arm.
