January 30th, 2026
Seattle, WA – (January 30, 2026) Backcountry Discovery Routes® (BDR®) is excited to announce a new partnership with Quad Lock, the industry leading phone mount system trusted by adventure riders around the world. Quad Lock joins BDR as an official partner, supporting the creation of new routes while helping riders navigate confidently in some of the most demanding backcountry terrain in the country.
As more riders rely on smartphones to navigate BDR routes, Quad Lock has emerged as a premier phone mount solution for ADV riding, and is the preferred phone mounting system of Backcountry Discovery Routes. During filming of the Montana Backcountry Discovery Route (MTBDR), Quad Lock outfitted the expedition team with their phone mounting systems, providing a secure and intuitive setup that allowed riders to confidently navigate using their phones across rugged, sandy, and high vibration terrain.

A Secure Solution for Navigation on BDR Routes
Quad Lock’s patented dual stage twist and lock mechanism keeps phones firmly secure over the roughest terrain, while still allowing for quick, one handed mounting and removal, even while wearing gloves. When it is time to upgrade to a new phone, riders only need to swap the case. All authentic Quad Lock cases are backed by a 12 month warranty.
Quad Lock systems are purpose built for adventure riding. Optional vibration dampening protects sensitive smartphone camera systems from engine and trail vibration. Rugged construction using glass filled nylon or CNC machined aluminum ensures durability in harsh off road conditions. A wide range of mounting options, including handlebar, clamp, fork stem, and mirror mounts, allows riders to dial in a clean, low profile setup on nearly any adventure motorcycle. Optional weatherproof wireless charging heads keep devices powered on long distance rides, even in rain, mud, or dust.
