BBB is ready for the iPhone 6

Smartphones are increasingly being used while cycling. Protecting them plays a key role in this. To this end, accessory specialist BBB has developed the Guardian, a holder that can also cope with larger smartphones.

The Guardian BSM 11 smartphone handlebar mount accommodates devices measuring up to 140x70 millimetres - so the new iPhone 6, measuring 138x67 millimetres, also fits into the protective cape. Wrapped in it, the protective cover offers full touch functionality. The smartphone also remains splash-proof, forcing it to record tours even on rainy days.

Should the rider fall to the ground, the impact-resistant padding offers additional protection. The housing can also be adapted for smaller smartphones with separate padding. The Guardian holder can be mounted in portrait or landscape format as required and the viewing angle can be optionally adjusted for filming or viewing. The Guardian case and the handlebar/stem clamp weigh 89 grams.

BBB also offers the free "BikeBoard" app to record your rides. This can be paired with the Bluetooth 4.0 Smart BlueCombo BCP-61 speed and cadence sensor and the BluePulse BCP-62 heart rate sensor.
