Radar Type

The Falco Universal Mount Kit (ST-CF) universal clamp-on mount base works with most saddles (see compatibility below) and attaches to the rear rails of the saddle. Our patented Falco Universal Mount Kit (ST-CF) places the radar in the optimal position for use, and provides excellent leg-over clearance, while still providing space for many saddlebags without extensions (which are available for even more room).

Incorporating the latest Shark Tooth - Carbon Fiber (ST-CF) connector, the Falco Universal Mount Kit (ST-CF) will not allow the device to slip or rotate while riding, and is made from the latest carbon fiber reinforced polymer that has a silky black-grey appearance.  Falco Universal Mount Kit (ST-CF) kits can accommodate most major radar types including Garmin Varia, Bryton*, Magene*, and Wahoo* radars.


ST-CF kits are made from engineering-grade carbon fiber–reinforced polymer known for its exceptional toughness, impact resistance, and high UV resistance. This material is the most durable polymer available today.

Compatible with ST-CF accessories only.


Made in USA
Lifetime Warranty (Continental US only - all others standard warranty)
* Pre-configured for Garmin quarter-turn. Bryton and Wahoo include a conversion kit.

Radars shown in images are for reference only and are not included.

Saddle Compatibility

To check your saddle's compatibility with the Falco, measure the width between the rails.  The minimum width allowed is 1-1/4" (32 mm) (A). The maximum width allowed is 3" (75 mm) measured on the outside of the rails (B).  The rails can be round or oval and must be between 6.5 and 10 mm thick.  When measured from the top of the bottom rails, there must be a minimum clearance of 1-1/4" (32 mm) of clearance (C) (e.g., clearance to logo plates or other obstructions).
Usage rating 

This mount is intended for use with bicycles used on paved or relatively smooth unpaved surfaces. Our mounts can be used with electric bikes up to class 3. ASTM International standard F2043-13.

 

BUP Shark Tooth Carbon Fiber (ST-CF)

What makes the Shark Tooth design different?

  • ST Mounts use toothed connections to prevent slipping.
  • Connections are very rugged and more than 3x thicker than GoPro type connections.
  • Very easy to assemble using the provided thread locking screws.
  • Eliminates the variations in GoPro like slot fitments for a more secure connection.

|---- Space ----|

  • Our mounts move the device down and rearward to increase spacing.
  • BUP mounts angles downward for more leg over clearance.
  • Leaves plenty of room for most small or medium bags.
  • Optional extensions can provide more space when needed.

Safety is not an afterthought

  • Safety band prevents twist out release from impacts, aggressive riding, opportunistic theft, and accidents.
  • Safety bands will not interfere with, or mute, radar range or operation.
  • Elastic safety tethers are thin and exactly the same as the Garmin OEM computer tether.
  • Heavy duty safety tethers are provided for heavier devices such as Garmin Varia RCT715.

Shark Tooth Grip

BUP designed the Shark tooth connector to eliminate device rotation. Standard action camera connectors (i.e., GoPro) typically suffer from unwanted rotation which requires overtightening the screw to overcome the rotation and that doesn't always work anyway.

ST-CF mounts use a thread locking screw that sandwiches the connector together. Easier to assemble and no way it will rotate. Just tighten normally and it is locked in place. Easy peasy.

Compatibility

Besides being able to use all major brands of radars, our ST mount arms can be converted from one brand's radar to another. Switching between Garmin Varia and Magene require nothing more than unscrewing the insert rotating it 90 degrees. Conversion from Garmin or Magene to Bryton or Wahoo (or vice versa) is just as easy by swapping one insert for another.

Quality

Our mounts bases and arms are 3D printed with state-of the-art engineering grade materials using the latest manufacturing technologies. Small injection molded items, such as the quarter-turn inserts, are top-of-the-line and as good or better than the OEM part. We only use marine grade stainless steel hardware as well!
