Garmin light front mounts for integrated cockpits

fat bloke · 05-11-2025 12:49PM #1

This is an odd one. The Garmin rear light fits any bike or seatpost and comes with all the adapters for round posts or aero posts and everything in between.

But the front light, which attaches underneath the head unit front mount, under-slung like a missile on a fighter jet :), seems only to be available in the Garmin universal mount, which only attaches to a traditional round handlebar.

Most of my bikes now have integrated out front mounts but there's no facility to attach the UT-800 front light underneath. I even got onto Garmin and they didn't have a solution, which is a bit mad because so many bikes now come with integrated cockpits.

Anyway - long story short, has anyone fixed this issue?

Looks like they use GoPro mounts? On my Canyon I used an adapter like this for my Lezyne combined with Canyons own Garmin mount, would that work for what you are looking for?

Yeah, cheers, I could use a sort of bodge, but the universal mount has a nifty quarter-turn quick release, which is way handier for taking the light on and off to charge etc. So I'm hoping for a better solution compatible with that. Otherwise yeah, I can use a screw-on go pro style mount.

Something like this would in theory let you use the quarter turn mount on your integrated mount with a GoPro attachment under it

I'd agree on that, the Garmin Varia front light is one of the easiest I've ever had to get on and off if you have a standard Garmin mount. I wonder if there are other lights with the same mounting system?

I got around the charging issue by using a 5 meter long cable that allows me to charge the light without having to take it off my bike.

I got onto Garmin customer service via webchat and they were stupendously good, as always. Answered straight away and came back to me with an order number for a part. It's an afapter piece they sell for 9.99 but they are shipping it to me for free. Hopefully it'll do the job but yer man himself admitted that I could be as well off to go third party / Temu for a solution. So I did that as well 😊.

If anyone's interested, I sorted this out with a a scattershot Temu order. One of them worked and I was able to screw it onto the bottom of my aerobar out front mount.

Pics before clicks as they say.

So this is the out front mount that screws in underneath the aerobars. You can screw off the go pro mount underneath and screw in one of these.

Then your garmin light quarter-turn attaches to that.

Thanks for that, they don't have a compatible one for a 1050 though

Bump in case anyone knows / can help…thanks

Not sure what you mean , is the blendr Garmin mount not long enough?

Would this go pro extension help?
