Can we mount it on a dirt bike? Will it hold up to the beating?

I crashed with mine and the light is still functional. The body is aluminum and has some gouges and scores from encounters with concrete and other parts of the bike. The mount is just plastic; mine broke when I crashed. Also, the mount doesn't grip tightly to metal or paint. Wrap some tape around the point where you plan to mount it and that will keep it from shifting around.

I don't think you'd have any problem mounting it to a dirt bike. Of course, the light that it casts will be bouncing all over the place if you're on a rough trail, but the bike light itself should stay mounted securely.

It is sturdy for sure, the problem is wether the clamp will make a good grip to your handlebars. I have it on my mountain bike and never really had a problem, though sometimes I just have to lift it a bit. Hope this helps

Totally - it is not like having the NITERIDER Classic or Pro($350 plus ) but it is an exceptional light and mount that can take bumps. If you are going to be doing any "seriously-full-on" mountain bike riding over logs and rocks - than you would be better off with a more expensive and bullet proof light like the NITERIDER Pro which would be better for twisting dark forest trails or night time ops. This light is great - but more for the normal type of mountain biking most people do.

it could..you may have to tighten it down with a wrench..but its a bright light ...i`m telling you! would be worth a shot for sure!!

Not technically a dirt bike but its durable so it would do fine on dirt. Not really a climbing bike but designed to take impact.

I have mine mounted on a SUV and have had no issues whatsoever. Even on a 100+ mile drive with 2 bikes.

No. It won't stay put. There are handlebar mounts designed specifically for bikes.

It will probably be fine. I would do something to improve the winch strap tie downs. I think that I will drill holes next to the existing rings (For some eye bolts) or have some stronger loops welded on for any sort of lengthy journey. Everything else seems overbuilt. It will still sway a bit over bumps...no hot rodding with a bike on the rack

Not so sure about dirt roads, but the bike is poorly built. The bolts and machined parts do not properly fit, steer clear of this bike......

It has worked great for Me. I do not use it for mountatin use though. It is on my commuter bike. It definitely seems to be well built.

I mounted mine to Drywall with the included anchors. Mine holds a much heavier Trek dual sport so I would think your road bike will be ok. Anchors and drywall can support a lot more than most people think.

If you lay it down carefully it won't break but may be mal-adjusted when you go to use it. I lean the other side against a wall. Mine fell over in soft dirt and it survived with nothing but a bent screw. Keep in mind that this is so inexpensive that you can really afford to get a spare. It's is hands down the best mirror I have ever used. Fragile? Yes, but works so well!! You could always get some rebar and build a cage for it if you treat your bike like junk. That would save it.

What are you riding? If it's a scooter, I have no idea how it mounts. If on a full size bike, well it mounts well away from the gas tank. And for those buying or have bought. To stop the rattle the box will make going over rough road and bumps, hot glue inside the box along the seam, and also use the hot glue, or thread lock on the small nuts on the inside from coming loose.

I have a Rode NT1A mounted on it which weights .7lbs. It holds it up without a problem. If you are using a shotgun mic you will need to buy a different shockmount, but it will hold it without a problem.

I think it would be ok on a bicycle. It depends on the size of the handlebars. I've had mine over a year and honestly don't use it as much as I thought I would.

It can. I ride around on bad roads all the time and at times the mount slips a little. Fairly easy to adjust while riding though. Could also try putting painting/masking tape on the bike to lessen the likelihood of slipping though.

It will definitely hold. This stand is much sturdier than it looks. I've used it on all of our families 5+ bikes, as well as friends bikes, all with lots of accessories, U-locks, etc. It has never been anywhere near unstable.

I am thinking No. The mount is about 3"wide and mounts with Velcro strips. It could be mounted on a bicycle but would not be secure.

It might hold as a temporary mount on the bike for smooth riding footage. If you're riding rough terrain, I might recommend the handlebar mount.

Probably not. It's an "OK" rack, but depending on the bike, as some of the reviews have noted, it hits the spokes. I would not trust it with kiddo.
