If you've ever tried to ride with a YETI tumbler wedged between your legs or stuffed in a saddlebag, you already know the problem. Great coffee. Terrible solution.
The good news: there's a better way. A proper motorcycle cup holder keeps your favorite tumbler secure, accessible, and upright — no matter what the road throws at you.
What to Look for in a Motorcycle Cup Holder
Not all cup holders are created equal. Here's what separates a great one from a frustrating one:
- Secure fit for your tumbler size — Most quality tumblers are 20 oz or 30 oz. Make sure the holder is sized to match.
- Vibration resistance — Motorcycles vibrate. A lot. Your holder needs to grip firmly without rattling loose over miles of road.
- Durable materials — Stainless steel outlasts plastic, especially in sun, rain, and temperature extremes.
- Versatile mounting — Look for options that work with your handlebar diameter or frame setup.
YETI Compatibility: What You Need to Know
YETI Ramblers are among the most popular tumblers on the market, and for good reason — they keep drinks cold for hours. The 20 oz Rambler and 30 oz Rambler are the most common sizes riders carry.
The key measurement is the outer diameter of the tumbler at its base. Most 20 oz tumblers measure around 3.5" in diameter, while 30 oz tumblers are slightly wider. A well-designed motorcycle cup holder will accommodate both with a snug, rattle-free fit.
The Motor Moxie CARRY Series
We built the CARRY 20 and CARRY 30 specifically for riders who refuse to compromise on their ride — or their coffee.
- CARRY 20 — Designed for 20 oz tumblers. Fits YETI Rambler 20 oz, Hydro Flask, and most standard 20 oz bottles.
- CARRY 30 — Designed for 30 oz tumblers. Fits YETI Rambler 30 oz and comparable bottles.
Both are crafted from 304 stainless steel, American-made, and engineered to handle the vibration and weather conditions of real riding. Installation is straightforward with versatile mounting options for most handlebars and frames.
How to Mount a Cup Holder on Your Motorcycle
Most handlebar-mount cup holders attach using a clamp system that wraps around your handlebar. Here's the general process:
- Choose your mounting location — typically near the handlebar or on the frame.
- Slide the clamp around the bar and position the holder where it won't interfere with controls.
- Tighten the mounting hardware securely — snug, but don't overtighten on aluminum bars.
- Test with your tumbler before riding to confirm fit and clearance.
For more complex setups, RAM Mount hardware (also available in our store) gives you even more flexibility with ball-and-socket positioning.
Ready to Ride with Your Drink?
Stop improvising. The CARRY 20 and CARRY 30 are built for riders who want their tumbler where they can reach it — not buried in a bag.
