Cyclist guide to Trek's Blendr Modular Mounting System - feat. Garmin / Go Pro Mounts + Integration

Bontrager’s Blendr system is a modular mounting system that provides an integrated design to mount accessories on your bicycle. It’s a three piece design that combines a stem, base and mounting accessory to attach lights, computers or phones. While Bontrager has extended the system to include integrated handlebars, taillights and saddlebags, we’re going to focus on the core stem / base / mounts products in this guide. Bontrager also has a comprehensive compatibility chart that covers all the options and even legacy products no longer available we’d highly recommend taking a look at. There are a wide variety of accessories which makes the Blendr system perfect for riders of high-end road bikes down to budget single speed bikes.

Starting with the stem, there is the top-of-the-line $288.99 RSL Stem which has OCLV carbon construction and titanium bolts. The more affordable options are the $120.99 forged alloy Pro Blendr stem and even a $30.99 Comp Blendr Stem option. To utilize the Blendr mounts you’ll need to install either the dual-mount $19.99 Duo base or the single $14.99 Mono Base. The bases each have bolt-on two prong Go-Pro style attachments which are compatible with a number of mounts. The more notable mounts are the $34.99 alloy Pro Blendr Wahoo / Garmin mount, the $19.99 Garmin Low mounts and the $19.99 Garmin High mount. For attaching Trek / Bontrager lights you can use the $9.99 Universal Light Mount or the Low Commuter Light Mount. There is also a simple $19.99 GoPro mount which can be used with a wide range of accessories.

At first glance the Blendr stems look like traditional stems with two bolt attachments to steering tubes and four bolt face plates. Upon closer inspection you’ll notice each of the stems has a two-piece face plate with a specially designed center cutout that fits the Blendr base perfectly. To secure the Blendr base in place, there are notches cut into the stem which match up to the base’s tab extensions. When the stem is attached to a handlebar and the face bolts are tightened down, the base becomes sandwiched between the stem and handlebar. The RSL is the fanciest stem option which gives you a lightweight carbon construction while the more affordable options are alloy construction. The stem and base combination provides secure mounting for heavier computers or lights without the need for dual clamps like those found on the Topeak UTF out-front mount...
