Garmin Edge Out-Front Mount
The Garmin Edge Out-Front Mount is the OEM standard for Garmin navigation units, offering a secure, low-profile forward position that keeps the head unit in sight without obstructing bars or controls. It holds its position here because it delivers seamless compatibility and proven vibration damping for Garmin devices at a generally lower price than many premium CNC mounts, while other mounts on this list trade that device-specific fit for broader phone or aerodynamic advantages.
