Thanks for tuning in
today we're going to be looking at the
Bryton sport computer mount.
[Music]
So if you recently bought a gps computer
or have bike lights
and other accessories that are either
GoPro or Garmin compatible
you'll know that they typically come
with cheap mounts. Here I have the Rider
320
and the stem mount that it comes with.
These are okay but it's much nicer to
have an out front mount like this
Bryton sport mount.
This puts your accessories in front of
you cleans up your handlebar and
provides a better angle of view.
Many of them are dual sided and come
with a lot of adapters so you can
install
various accessories on there. Today we're
going to be looking at the Bryton
version this is a sport mount
it's compatible with quite a few Bryton
models.
It's funny that they don't say it's
compatible with Garmin but it is a
Garmin quarter
turn style mount. Packaging wise this is
terrible, this is the
plastic sealed almost laminated style
really hard to take off.
I'll go ahead and take a scissor to
take it off.
Retail price on this is $30
this is an aluminum design, there's
quite a few
variations of this on the market from a
lot of different manufacturers. They
become
quite popular, now as I mentioned it
really cleans up your handlebars so I
highly recommend it.
It's a great way to really get
everything in front of you.
So pretty minimal packaging once you get
it out of there.
Here we have it freed from the
plastic packaging you basically get
a little allen wrench and the mount
itself. It's almost an aerodynamic design
you can see it
it's quite thin here and it's designed
to be right mounted here.
It's a one-sided design so you can't
mount a light or an accessory underneath.
Let's take a second to look at the
weight of the mount
so its aluminum so it's not going to
be as light as a plastic mount
30 grams so quite light.

Now let's look at the fit and finish
of the Bryton sport mount.
Out front mounts have gained a lot
of popularity these days with most
manufacturers providing their own.
It used to be an accessory that
secondary companies would make but
manufacturers realized people were
buying these so they actually decided to
make their own versions.
This is aluminum and it feels
quite rugged.
You have a two bolt design so you'd have
to remove at least one to swing it out
of the way.
You have a removable puck here this is
the Bryton attachment
it looks pretty similar to a lot of the
out front mounts where you can remove
this and swap it out.
It is only one-sided so you can't put a
light or another accessory underneath.
What's interesting about Bryton is
they use a Garmin style mount
but it's a little bit thicker so if we
look at the
Bryton you can see they've squared it
off so it's not completely round and
then if you were to look at the side
profile
it's a little bit thicker than a
traditional Garmin style. Here's my
Fabric
Lumaray you can see that
it's a little bit thinner
otherwise pretty similar. I'm not sure
how well it comes out
so the Bryton it works on normal mounts but
it takes a little bit more force. So let's
see with this
so this one you get a nice click. When
you put the Bryton on a normal Garmin
mount
instead of a click you get a little
friction as you get near the center with
this you get that nice click.
Let's see if it is Garmin compatible
I'll take my Lumaray and now
instead of that click you can see
it really becomes quite difficult to
rotate.
Now that it's on it's quite secure
you just don't get that satisfying
click
and also you can still put the Bryton on
here.
You can see you can actually get
double accessories at least with the
Lumaray which is a nice front see-mee
style light
so the answer is yes it is compatible
you just don't get the satisfying click.
Now let's look at the removal process
on the Bryton's website. They claim a 30
second
uh installation time which is still a
little bit
more than i would expect with something
like this
so you see you have to remove the allen
keys
enough to actually get on the handlebar.
So you can see now that i have it off
you could just put this on your
handlebar
pull it in and tighten it down. For
comparison
here I have a Magicshine version.
You can see they're both right side
mounts
quite similar as I mentioned they're all
pretty similar design the pucks are
likely interchangeable. I don't know if
they're meant to be interchangeable but
probably could be.
Also this one is dual design so it's
quite a bit bulkier
but does give you additional flexibility
if that's what you're looking for
and so I was mentioning here with this
it's actually a hinge design
which is a little bit nicer because you
don't have to remove two bolts.
[Music]
Here we have the mount installed on
the bike you can see with this design
it comes out pretty low. If I throw
the
Bryton 320 on there you can see it's
almost flush with the handlebar.
Also even though they don't advertise it
as Garmin compatible
you can certainly put Garmin devices on
here so here, I have the Lumaray
which has a Garmin mount and you can see
when I attach it it's just a little bit
rougher.
Once you get to 90 degrees you can feel
a little friction and then the Bryton
will connect to a Garmin mount.
Again it's just not as smooth it
doesn't click in.
You can even put a full on Garmin unit
on the Bryton mountain as well
as you can see here and it works pretty
well it's nice and firm
and it won't really rotate. Here's a side
angle shot of the mount with the
Bryton 320 on here you can see it fits
nice and flush.
I actually like running this with the
Fabric Lumaray
this provides you with daytime running
light
that sandwiches between the actual
computer and the
mount. So you can see with the lower
mount design
it still sits nice and flush and you
have the daytime visibility as well.
Now let's go over the pros and cons for
the Bryton sport mount. What we like
about the amount is the
low mounting angle it gives a very
natural view angle as it sits almost
flush with the top of your stem.
Also the aluminum construction feels
really well built and designed
with almost an arrow design and finally
Bryton computers lock into place
really well
unlike putting a Bryton computer on a
Garmin mount
you don't get that friction with the
Bryton mount you get that nice locking
sound and it feels very secure
some of the cons for this mount is the
fact that it's single sided
you can get dual sided ones on the
market that allows you to put a light or
a GoPro on the bottom side.
Also Bryton doesn't include any other
mounts or pucks with this
so for thirty dollars you only get the
single Bryton mount
and finally a two bolt design takes a
little bit more time to install on your
bike.
We'd prefer a hinge design that some
other mounts offer
Taking everything into account would
give the Bryton sport mount a 7.9
out of 10. This is a sleek on front
mount for your brain computer
it's not the most affordable on the
market and has less accessories but as
a brand compatible one provides a really
nice secure feel.
