Maddog Claw Mobile Holder with 18W Qualcomm 3.0 Fast Charger – IP67 Waterproof Universal Motorcycle Phone Mount

The Maddog Claw is the original Indian-made fast-charging mobile holder from Maddog – designed for riders who want a rock-solid, value-for-money mount without compromising on safety or charging performance.

At the heart of the Claw is an 18W Adaptive Qualcomm 3.0 fast charger (USB-A) rated for 2–12 V and 0.25–4 A, capable of safely topping up modern smartphones on long rides while protecting them with reverse-polarity and electronic safeguards. The charging module and USB-A connector are IP67 dust- and waterproof, so rain rides, slush and regular washing are not a problem when installed sensibly.

A heavy-duty claw-type cradle with 8 side holders grips the phone from all directions, supported by a 360° swivel joint for perfect viewing angles – navigation, music and call control remain clear whether you ride upright cruisers or aggressive nakeds. Maddog uses a mix of Nylon, ABS, EPDM, silicone and coated steel with stainless-steel fasteners, giving the Claw a rated life of 100,000+ charge cycles and 200,000+ spring push/pull cycles, far beyond cheap generic holders that loosen within a season.

Claw is a perfect everyday and touring upgrade for Royal Enfield, KTM, Bajaj, TVS, Yamaha, Honda, Hero, BMW and other motorcycles with standard tubular handlebars. Sold by Under The Hood (underthehood.co.in), you get genuine Maddog stock, proper GST billing and after-sales support – ideal for riders who want a clean, dependable setup today, with the option to move up to Claw Pro or Claw X later.

FAQs

Q1. How is Maddog Claw different from Claw Pro and Claw X?
Claw is the core model – 18W Qualcomm 3.0 fast charger, IP67 waterproofing and heavy-duty claw grip, but no vibration damper or anti-theft lock. Claw Pro adds a dedicated vibration damper (USB-A, 18W), while Claw X adds both a damper and anti-theft lock with a higher-output 25W USB-C charger.

Q2. Will this fit my Royal Enfield / KTM / Pulsar / Apache / R15?
If your bike has a standard tubular handlebar or crossbar section with some free straight space, Claw usually fits without issues. Clip-on bars or very crowded cockpits may need a repositioning clamp or separate bracket. Always check space and cable path before ordering.

Q3. Is the charger safe for my phone on long rides?
Yes. The 18W Adaptive Qualcomm 3.0 module is designed for continuous motorcycle use, with reverse-polarity and electronic protection, IP67 sealing, RoHS-compliant components and a 100,000-cycle rating – much more robust than generic USB chargers.

Q4. Does it protect camera OIS like some anti-vibration mounts?
Claw does not have a dedicated vibration damper; it is suitable for general use and smoother bikes. For high-vibration single-cylinder machines and riders worried about OIS cameras, we recommend upgrading to Maddog Claw Pro or Claw X which include an anti-vibration module.

Q5. Can I install it myself?
Most riders with basic DIY skills can install Claw at home – connect the harness to battery / aux line via a fused connection, route the wire neatly along the handlebar, mount the clamp and tighten stainless-steel fasteners. If you are unsure, ask your local mechanic or Under The Hood workshop to install it.
