Morsa-Multiple-thing-mount

Morsa is a new brand, starting out with an interesting take on the accessory mount for handlebars. Their mount is an entirely modular system, starting out with a single mounting arm for 31.8mm handlebars, that extends about 4″ forward. This arm has a track on either side that can accept a wide variety of mounting adapters for the most popular ride gadgets.

The injection molded carbon/nylon mounts are also made in the USA. Owner Jeff Bobbitt  wants to build Morsa into a brand that delivers excellent quality and design, where the needs of the customers drive their decisions. Coming from a background as an IndyCar suspension engineer, he is the designer and engineer on his products, and puts the greatest amount of his time into research and design to deliver the best product possible.

J&B Importers has already picked up the line in the USA, as well as 3Sixty Sports in New Zealand. Take a look inside to get our thoughts from mounting them up and taking a first ride…

Morsa-Mount-in-Use

One thing I really liked about them is they cleaned up the handlebar area. I might be a little OCD when it comes to keeping the handlebars from being cluttered, so a single mount that put everything out in front was nice. The only negative issue with all the items in one place is that to install and remove the Garmin, I had to remove the light first in order to have enough room for the quarter-turn release method of the Garmin. The Morsa mounts fit a lot of things into a nice tidy space, but getting things too close together could be difficult.

Morsa-Mounting-Arm

The base to every system is the Morsa arm that sells for $20.  You start with one of these, and then start adding the small accessory mounts.

I gave them a try using the Garmin mount, and the round mount to hold a Lezyne SuperDrive XL. Now, the weight of this shown above is somewhat irrelevant to the Morsa product, but I wanted to see how much weight the injection-molded plastic mounts could take. This is a decent amount of weight to hang off of a plastic arm, yet the mounts were sturdy, and didn’t bounce around.

Morsa-Garmin-Mount

All of the accessory adapters come in a nice attractive package, and cost $10 each. They have them for Garmin, GoPro, Rokform phone cases, and a simple round 31.8, for anything else that mounts on a handlebar.

Morsa-Universal-Adapter  Morsa-Universal-mount

The round mount had a nice oval-shaped fitment into the main arm, to keep it from rotating around and coming loose if you were adjusting the items mounted to it.  All of the other accessory mounts do not have the oval insert, so they can be rotated themselves to properly position the item.

Give em a look, because at my first glance and first use, these are a pretty worthy product, mostly because of their decently low price and long-term versatility.

Soooo, I can buy this arm plus all the mounts and still have money left over compared to buying JUST the Rokform bike mount?

Ordered.

And still nobody makes a quality mount for the Etrex which is a popular bikepacking unit.

Oh wait, I just drove their decisions.

Looks smart. I’m going to 3d print my own, with some custom mods, right now!

With just 5 mix & match pieces, they have a long way to go to catch up with Rec-Mounts who have dozens of specific adapters for all kinds of devices including the Pioneer computers, multiple brands of flashlights, etc.

I like the concept, but I don’t think my light head, one of those bulky Magicshine units, would fit without conflicting with my Garmin. It looks like it was designed specifically for smaller output self contained lights, which I guess is alright for casual evening/early morning riders but I run the light that I do for a wider spread of light.

Great. I’m forever trying to squeeze lights and Garmin in position on my road bike.

We appreciate the comments.

We worked hard to try and accommodate most devices with out making a bulky cumbersome mount and geared our adapters to the most popular devices like Garmin, GoPro, RokForm phone cases and most lights. And the universal adapter will work with any bar mountable 31.8mm device. If you want to mount the larger lights then mount both the Universal and Computer adapters on the same side and flip the light upside down. Lower to the ground and centered is what we were after with the computer and light setup.

Look for more innovative solutions from us in the fall and we are proud to say that are products are designed and manufactured in the USA. Read the bio on our site to learn more about Us.
