MotoRadds vs. Ride Tech Moto: Which Chin Mount Actually Backs Its Promises? [2026]
MotoRadds vs. Ride Tech Moto: Which Chin Mount Actually Backs Its Promises? [2026]
Ride Tech Moto has changed a lot in the last year, and any comparison written before that change is out of date.
Their whole catalogue is now branded "Camera Mount 2.0." Every product page states the mounts are "precision injection-molded" from "high-impact polymers that are custom-formulated to deliver unmatched strength and durability." They've published two blog posts arguing that injection moulding beats 3D printing for chin mounts — layer lines, porosity, adhesive wetting, the whole case. They're a Canadian company out of Ontario, founded in 2019, with 59-odd helmet-specific SKUs and one of the most current catalogues in the category.
So this isn't the comparison it would have been two years ago. On manufacturing philosophy, they've moved closer to us, not further away. Which means the real differences are elsewhere: whether a mount should be shaped for one helmet or bendable to any helmet, and — the part we'd actually point at — what each company's warranty covers once you read past the word on the button.
We make one of these products. Everything below is linked to a published page, and where we're describing a claim we can't independently verify, we say so — including about ourselves.
TL;DR
| If this is you… | Buy this |
|---|---|
| Your helmet is in their 17-brand catalogue and you'll keep it | Ride Tech Moto — a moulded fit needs no shaping |
| You want one mount that fits nearly any helmet | MotoRadds FLEX Slim — moldable, no catalogue to be on |
| You want warranty coverage included, not sold separately | MotoRadds — lifetime, in the price |
| You want coverage that follows you to your next helmet | MotoRadds — their lifetime tier is non-transferable |
| You'll change helmets in the next few years | MotoRadds — the mount transfers |
| You want fine control over camera angle | Ride Tech Moto — extensions, lens alignment adapter, vertical mount |
| You shoot vertical for Reels and TikTok | Both offer it; theirs is a dedicated $19.99 SKU |
| You're buying on Amazon | MotoRadds — their warranty excludes non-website purchases |
| You want the cheapest universal mount for a fairing or windscreen | Ride Tech Moto — $2.99 flat and curved pads |
| You want tracked shipping as standard | MotoRadds — theirs is an opt-in checkout tier |
| You're an EU rider | MotoRadds — we ship EU orders from Czechia; theirs cross a customs border |
Short answer: Ride Tech Moto makes a credible product with a genuinely good accessory ecosystem and a very current helmet catalogue. The reason we think MotoRadds is the better buy comes down to warranty structure: ours is lifetime, included in the price, and follows the product. Theirs is 12 months as standard, with a "lifetime" tier sold as a $3.99 add-on that pays out once, doesn't transfer, and doesn't apply at all if you bought through Amazon.
How we evaluated these
Nine criteria, in the order they matter once the mount is on your helmet:
- Fit on a supported helmet — how flush it sits, and how much bond area it gets
- Fit on an unsupported helmet — what happens when yours isn't listed
- Catalogue currency — do they keep up with new shell releases?
- What happens when you change helmets
- Materials and process — what's published, and what's verifiable
- Adhesive system — grade, prep, cure guidance
- Warranty as written, including what the exclusions carve out
- Adjustability and the wider ecosystem
- Shipping, support and what a return costs

The actual argument: moulded fit vs flexible fit
Everything downstream flows from this, so it's worth being precise.
The case for a rigid, helmet-specific mount. A part moulded to one shell can follow compound curves a flat part can't. It sits flush without you doing anything, maximises bond area, and can be designed around vents rather than over them. Ride Tech Moto's own argument is that a moulded surface is more uniform than a printed one, which lets the VHB "properly wet and bond to the material." That's a real materials-science point and we don't dispute the principle.
The case against. Your helmet has to be in the catalogue — and stay in it. Ride Tech Moto covers 17 brands, which is respectable but not exhaustive: there's no Nolan-branded lid (they do cover X-Lite, Nolangroup's other brand), no Klim, and no Fox or Thor with live product — both of those collection pages exist on their site but currently list zero products. Their Icon range has also visibly contracted from what older pages reference. It also means the part is scrap the day you change helmets, and it puts the burden on you to identify your shell correctly.
The case for flexible. A steel core in a silicone overmould doesn't need to know what helmet you own. You bend it to the curve in front of you. The silicone conforms across texture and irregularity, which is bond area a rigid part doesn't get on an imperfect surface. And it survives a helmet change.
The case against flexible. It asks something of you at install. A moulded part sits where it sits; a flexible one can be positioned badly. And on a sharply peaked chin bar, no adhesive mount has enough flat area — flexible or not.
Both positions are defensible. Ride Tech Moto has committed to one; we sell both. Here's how it plays out.
Ride Tech Moto, honestly
Founded in 2019, based in Bradford West Gwillimbury, Ontario, shipping from Ontario, and describing themselves as "ordinary motorcycle riders who are focused on making a difference in the safety and entertainment part of motorcycling."
Their catalogue: roughly 59 helmet-specific SKUs across AGV, Alpinestars, Arai, Bell, Biltwell, HJC, Icon, LS2, Ruroc, Schuberth, Scorpion, Sedici, Sena, Shoei, Simpson, Voss and X-Lite. Shoei is deepest at 11 models, Arai at 8, HJC and Scorpion at 7 each.

What Ride Tech Moto genuinely does better
Their helmet catalogue is aggressively current. Shoei Neotec 3, Shoei GT-Air 3, Arai XD-5, HJC RPHA 12, HJC RPHA 1, Alpinestars Supertech R10, Ruroc EOX, Sedici Sistema 3 — these are 2023–2025 helmets and they have mounts for them. A lot of the category lags a year or more behind new shell releases. They don't.
The accessory ecosystem is the best-thought-out part of their business. A Lens Alignment Adapter ($14.99) to correct camera angle. A Vertical Video Mount ($19.99) for portrait shooting — which is genuinely useful if Reels and TikTok are where your footage ends up. Straight and 90° extensions, a base mount, a locking plug, a safety tether. That's a system, not a product, and their own blog frames it that way: "Every Ride Tech Moto accessory is designed as part of a system, not as a standalone add-on."
$2.99 universal pads. Flat and curved adhesive mounts for three dollars. If you need a cheap pad for a fairing, a tank or a windscreen, that's very hard to argue with. Our FLEX Classic ($24.99) does more — it's a flexible silicone-over-steel mount for MX visor peaks and curved bodywork — but for a plain flat pad, theirs is a fraction of the price.
A real body of positive feedback. 4.8/5 across 1,301 reviews on Loox, their review platform. Sample: "These are the best choice for chin mounts on the market" (Kyle B.); "Fit was excellent, and I have had no issues with movement or concern about losing my camera" (Martin T.); and a repeat-purchase data point that's worth more than most, "I'm on my second helmet and second ride tech without failure" (Michael T.).
Zero-residue removal. Their FAQ says the VHB "will leave zero residue after removal" with a hair dryer on low heat. If you plan to sell the helmet, that's a genuine advantage over a bond you have to fight.
They publish a manufacturing argument, and it's a coherent one. "With injection molding, we can achieve surface resolution down to 0.01 mm" and "the entire part is formed as a single solid unit using a precisely machined mold." Whether their process delivers what they claim isn't something we can verify from outside — we've found no independent confirmation, and we'd apply that caveat to any manufacturer's process claims including our own. But they've made the argument publicly and in detail, which is more than most brands in this category do.
Where Ride Tech Moto falls down
"Lifetime" is a $3.99 add-on, and it's a narrower promise than the word suggests. This is our main objection and it's worth reading their policy yourself. The standard warranty is 12 months. The Lifetime Protection tier is sold separately at checkout, and it:
- is one replacement only: "Once a replacement has been provided under Lifetime Protection, the Lifetime Protection coverage is considered fulfilled for that product."
- is non-transferable, covering only the original purchaser and the specific mount originally bought — so it doesn't follow you to a new helmet
- leaves you paying shipping and any import duties on the replacement
- requires photos of the product, the installation and the failure, including, for adhesive claims, "photos showing the adhesive and mounting surface"
To be fair to them on the point people usually get wrong: their lifetime tier does cover "adhesive-related failures determined to be the result of a manufacturing defect." What it excludes is adhesive failure caused by poor surface prep, contamination or an unsuitable mounting surface — which is the same carve-out we apply, and the same one every VHB mount in this category applies. That isn't the differentiator. The differentiator is that you have to buy the coverage, it pays once, and it dies with the helmet.
The standard warranty also excludes unlisted helmets. If you buy a mount for a helmet they haven't specified as compatible, you're outside coverage — which matters given the catalogue gaps below.
The warranty is void if you didn't buy direct. Their policy states it "does not extend to any item(s) that were not purchased directly from our website" — and they sell on Amazon. Buy a Ride Tech Moto product through Amazon and you have Amazon's return window, not their warranty. That's a real inconsistency for a company running two sales channels.
No polymer is ever named. They say "high-impact polymers that are custom-formulated" across every product page, but no resin, no grade, no glass-fill percentage, no impact standard, no UV rating, no part weight. Their argument is entirely about process rather than material, which is a strange place to stop when the material is what holds your camera. We'd ask them directly.
No adhesive grade, no primer, no cure time. Pre-applied 3M VHB, and that's the whole specification. No grade (5952, 4991, GPH — it matters), no primer, and — the one we'd genuinely push on — no published cure time or minimum application temperature. VHB needs time and warmth to reach full strength. A mount sold with no cure guidance is a mount some percentage of buyers will ride on within the hour. We publish 24 hours.
Worth noting: replacement adhesive pads are sold at $2.49 but "must be cut to fit" rather than arriving die-cut to the mount footprint.
Their own review numbers don't agree with each other. Their product pages and customer review page display a 5/5 badge citing 18,516 reviews. Their Loox page — the platform that actually collects their reviews — shows 4.8/5 from 1,301. We can't reconcile those two figures and we'd take the Loox number, which is the more plausible one and still a strong result.
Tracked shipping is an upsell. Their FAQ says: "At the checkout screen make sure to select an option with the word 'tracked' if you would like a tracking number with your package. Otherwise the tracking number will not be provided." The default is untracked. On a $30 item shipping internationally, that's the wrong default.
Returns cost you $8.49 or your own postage. 30 days, everything in original condition including packaging and tags — so an adhered mount isn't returnable — and if you use their prepaid label they deduct $8.49 from the refund. International returns get no label at all.
Email only, and a PO box. No phone number, no street address, no named founder anywhere on the site. That's not disqualifying — plenty of good small companies run this way — but it's worth knowing before something goes wrong.
Two brand collections are empty. Fox and Thor collection pages exist on their site but currently list zero products, and the Icon range appears to have shrunk. Check your specific helmet is actually purchasable rather than just listed.
Best for: riders whose helmet is in their catalogue — especially a 2024–25 model — who want fine control over camera angle, who shoot vertical, and who'll keep that helmet.
MotoRadds, honestly
We've been making motorcycle camera mounts since 2017 from Gilbert, Arizona. The first flexible-core prototype was April 2020, FLEX Classic shipped in 2021, and FLEX Slim is the current flagship.
FLEX Slim, $34.95: a steel core skeleton inside a vibration-damping silicone overmould, with an injection-moulded polycarbonate camera platform and four stainless steel screws. Independent measurement puts it at 34 g against our published 65 g — we'd rather flag that discrepancy than quietly use the flattering number. You shape it to your chin bar, prep the surface, bond with genuine 3M VHB, and wait 24 hours.
Helmet-specific FLEX mounts, $34.95: polycarbonate with a steel core, alloy screws and a silicone finish, in a horizontal layout that increases surface area and friction support. Shoei, Arai, AGV, HJC, Scorpion, Bell, Nexx, KYT, LS2, Shark, Sena, Klim, Fox, 6D, Alpinestars, Harley-Davidson and more.
The rest of the bike: FLEX Classic ($24.99) for MX visor peaks, windscreens and fairings; EdgeLock ($29.99), an adhesive-free clamp for 2–4 mm windscreen and visor edges; X-Pand (from $54.99) for fork stems, axles and bar ends; a Universal Crab Claw clamp ($34.99); in-helmet mounts for the DJI Osmo Nano and Insta360 GO 3S; ND filters, cages and vertical adapters.
What we do better
The warranty is included, and it covers wear. Lifetime coverage on every mount we sell, in the price, for manufacturing defects and premature wear through normal use — separation, warping, degradation. Not 12 months. Not a $3.99 tier. Not one replacement and done. A small shipping fee applies on replacements ($4.50 within the US, $15 international, per our FAQ), and full terms are on our warranty page.
We don't exclude adhesive failure from coverage. Premature wear through normal, intended use is what the policy covers, and separation is named in it. Surface prep is still on you — bond a dirty helmet and no warranty saves it — but we don't carve out the category's most common failure mode.
Buy it wherever you like. Our coverage runs on proof of purchase, not on which storefront you used.
Your helmet doesn't need to be in a catalogue. This is the whole point of the FLEX Slim. Discontinued lid, obscure brand, a shell revision nobody's tooled for, a bicycle or snowmobile helmet — you bend the mount to what's in front of you. The Loam Wolf, testing it: "You can shape the material to follow the curves of your helmet with relative ease… You would be hard pressed to find a helmet this would not be compatible with."
The mount outlives the helmet. A moulded helmet-specific part is scrap the day you change lids. A FLEX Slim transfers — fresh VHB pad, some heat to release the old bond, reshape.
We publish a cure time. 24 hours before you ride. It's the single most important instruction in the box and it should be printed on every chin mount sold.
Silicone does something rigid plastic can't. It damps vibration at the interface and conforms across texture and minor irregularity to create a full seal. Ride Tech Moto's argument is that a smoother, more uniform surface bonds better — which is true of the mount side of the joint. The helmet side is the one that's irregular, and that's the side silicone solves.
Tracked as standard, and three warehouses so most orders don't cross a border. Arizona, Czechia and Australia, with a tracking number included rather than sold as an upgrade. European and Australian riders get a domestic order — no duty, no brokerage fee, no customs hold — and returns go to the warehouse that serves them. Ride Tech Moto fulfils everything from Ontario, so an order outside North America clears customs on the way in, and with no international return labels offered, clears it again on the way out at your expense. Most of the time, our website won't let you check out if it's not in stock at your service warehouse.
Nine years and a published review record. The Loam Wolf, BeginnerBiker (4.5/5, tested on a Shoei Neotec), Masqueride, Electronikz (8.6/10), plus a substantial body of motovlogger video. Trustpilot 4.8/5 across 106 reviews.
Where we fall down
Their accessory range beats ours on camera angle. A dedicated Lens Alignment Adapter and Vertical Video Mount are better answers to "my footage points at the tank" than telling you to bend the mount differently. We have vertical adapters for most current cameras, but their angle-adjustment kit is more thought through and we'd say so.
Their universal pads are a fraction of our price. $2.99 against $24.99 for FLEX Classic. Ours is a different product — flexible, steel-cored, silicone-sealed, made for curved MX peaks and fairings — but if you want a plain flat pad, buy theirs.
Their newest-helmet coverage is faster than ours. Neotec 3, RPHA 12, XD-5, Supertech R10 — they moved quickly on those.
Sharply peaked chin bars are a real limitation. A customer: "the mount didn't work for me, my helmet and chin protector was too pointy for it to adhere properly." Historically the AGV Pista, Corsa and K1. We now make a Pista-specific mount, but check the helmet-specific range if your lid has a knife-edge centre ridge.
Removal is hard. The Loam Wolf notes in its review that the bond is strong enough that release takes heat and patience. Ride Tech Moto advertises zero-residue removal; ours is a fight. Position carefully the first time.
Screw-down is slower than a clip. BeginnerBiker: "My only very minor bugbear is the slight extra faff of unscrewing the GoPro on/off the mount, vs the quick slide-in clip of the old design." Accurate.
Adhesive has failed for some customers. We've had reports of bonds loosening in the first couple of months, and where we could trace the cause it was surface prep. Degreasing and a full 24-hour cure are not optional.
We ship in 5–7 days domestic, and we've had customers report longer.
We've been noisier about competitors than we needed to be. If you've found our older post about this brand, it was written when their product was a different thing and it reads like a fight. This article is the version we should be publishing.
Best for: riders who want one mount that fits nearly any helmet, riders who'll change helmets, and anyone who wants warranty coverage that's included rather than sold.
Head to head
1. Fit on a supported helmet
A part moulded to your exact shell sits flush with nothing asked of you, and their case for a uniform moulded bonding surface is technically sound. On a helmet they cover, this is theirs.
Winner: Ride Tech Moto.
2. Breadth of helmets covered
17 brands and roughly 59 models is a list — and two of those brand collections are currently empty. The FLEX Slim isn't a list: the steel core bends to the actual curve of your chin bar, so it fits nearly every helmet on the market, theirs included. If you ride a Nolan, a Klim, a Nexx, a 6D, an MX lid or anything more than a couple of years old, this decides it.
Winner: MotoRadds.
3. Catalogue currency
Neotec 3, GT-Air 3, XD-5, RPHA 12, Supertech R10, Ruroc EOX. They move fast on new shells.
Winner: Ride Tech Moto.
4. Changing helmets
A moulded part is single-helmet by definition, and their paid lifetime tier explicitly doesn't transfer. A FLEX Slim moves with a fresh adhesive pad.
Winner: MotoRadds.
5. Materials and process disclosure
Both of us publish a process argument and neither is independently verified. The difference is that we name the materials — steel, silicone, polycarbonate, stainless — and they name none. "Custom-formulated high-impact polymers" isn't a specification.
Winner: MotoRadds.
6. Adhesive system and installation guidance
Neither publishes a VHB grade, which is a fair criticism of both. But they publish no cure time and no minimum application temperature, and their replacement pads have to be cut to fit. We publish 24 hours.
Winner: MotoRadds.
7. Warranty
Lifetime, included in the price, covering premature wear, valid regardless of retailer — against 12 months standard, a $3.99 lifetime tier that pays out once and doesn't transfer, and a policy that doesn't apply at all to Amazon purchases. Both of us exclude adhesive failures caused by bad surface prep; that part is a wash.
Winner: MotoRadds, decisively.
8. Adjustability and ecosystem
Lens Alignment Adapter, Vertical Video Mount, extensions, locking plug, safety tether — that's a better angle-adjustment system than ours. We cover more mounting locations (windscreen, fairing, fork stem, bar end, in-helmet), but on getting the camera pointed where you want it, they win.
Winner: Ride Tech Moto.
9. Shipping, returns and support
US domestic with tracking as standard and EU orders fulfilled from Czechia, against Ontario with tracking as a paid opt-in, $8.49 deducted from refunds, no international return labels, and email-only contact from a PO box. For a European buyer their package crosses a customs border in both directions; ours doesn't.
Winner: MotoRadds.
Running score: MotoRadds 6, Ride Tech Moto 3.
So which one should you buy?
Buy Ride Tech Moto if:
- Your helmet is in their catalogue — particularly a 2024–25 Shoei, Arai, HJC or Alpinestars
- You want precise camera-angle control and will use the Lens Alignment Adapter
- You shoot vertical video for Reels or TikTok
- You want a $2.99 flat or curved pad for a fairing, tank or windscreen
- You expect to sell the helmet and want clean, zero-residue removal
- You're keeping this helmet and 12 months of coverage is enough
Buy MotoRadds if:
- Your helmet isn't listed, is older, or is from a brand they don't cover
- You want warranty coverage in the price rather than as a $3.99 add-on
- You want coverage that includes premature wear and doesn't exclude adhesive failure
- You'll own another helmet within this mount's life
- You want a published cure time and clear installation guidance
- You want US shipping with tracking included and a US return address — or you're in the EU and would rather not pay customs on a package from Canada
- You're buying through a marketplace and want the warranty to still apply
- You're mounting more than one camera and want windscreen, fork or in-helmet parts from one brand
The verdict
Ride Tech Moto is a better company than the version of them that exists in older comparison articles, ours included. They've committed publicly to a manufacturing method, they've built a genuinely smart accessory system, they keep up with new helmet releases better than most of the category, and 1,301 reviews at 4.8 is real substance. If your helmet is on their list and you want the camera pointed exactly where you want it, that's a good purchase.
Our case rests on two things. The first is structural: a moulded mount needs your helmet to be in someone's catalogue and dies when you change helmets, while a flexible steel core needs neither. The second is the shape of the warranty. Selling "lifetime" as a $3.99 upsell is a choice. Making that tier pay out once, refusing to let it transfer, and voiding the whole thing if you happened to buy through Amazon are three more. Ours is included in the price, covers premature wear, and works no matter where you bought it.
We'll be straight about what that argument is not: they cover adhesive failure traced to a manufacturing defect, and both of us exclude adhesive failure caused by bad surface prep. Anyone telling you otherwise hasn't read the policy. The difference is in what you have to buy, how many times it pays, and whether it survives a new helmet.
That's a difference in what the company promises to do when the thing breaks, and on a part that holds a camera to your head at speed, we think that's the part worth reading closely.

FAQ
Are Ride Tech Moto mounts 3D printed? They say no. Their current product pages state the mounts are "precision injection-molded" from "high-impact polymers that are custom-formulated," and they've published a detailed argument for why moulding beats printing for this application. We've found no independent verification of the process either way — the same caveat applies to any manufacturer's process claims, ours included — but that is their published position and it's what a buyer should go on.
What's the difference between their 12-month warranty and the $3.99 lifetime one? The standard 12-month warranty covers manufacturing defects on products bought from their website, with photo or video evidence required, and excludes mounts bought for helmets they haven't listed as compatible. The paid Lifetime Protection tier extends coverage for the original purchaser's lifetime — including "adhesive-related failures determined to be the result of a manufacturing defect" — but pays out one replacement only, is non-transferable to another mount or owner, and leaves you paying shipping and duties. Read both policies before deciding the upsell is worth it.
Does their lifetime warranty exclude adhesive failure? Only the kind caused by you. Adhesive failure from poor surface prep, contamination or an unsuitable surface is excluded — the same exclusion we and effectively every VHB mount brand apply. Adhesive failure traced to a manufacturing defect is covered. If you've read that they exclude adhesive failure outright, that's wrong.
Is a Ride Tech Moto product covered if I buy it on Amazon? No. Their warranty policy excludes items not purchased directly from their website. MotoRadds covers its mounts for life with proof of purchase regardless of where you bought them.
Which one has better helmet coverage? Theirs is more current on 2024–25 releases — Shoei Neotec 3, Arai XD-5, HJC RPHA 12, Alpinestars Supertech R10. Ours covers different ground and, more to the point, the FLEX Slim doesn't need your helmet to be in a catalogue at all. Check both lists against your specific model, and note that their Fox and Thor collection pages currently list no products.
How long should I wait before riding after installing a chin mount? 24 hours, minimum, with either brand. 3M VHB builds strength over time and needs a warm, clean, degreased surface to bond properly. Ride Tech Moto doesn't publish a cure time; we do, and it's 24 hours. Never bond outdoors in freezing conditions.
Can I move a chin mount to a new helmet? With a MotoRadds FLEX Slim, yes — heat to release, clean, fresh VHB pad, reshape to the new helmet. With any helmet-specific moulded mount, including theirs, no: the geometry fits one shell. Their paid lifetime coverage also explicitly doesn't follow you to a different mount.
Which cameras work with each? Both cover GoPro Hero 5 through 13, Insta360 X3/X4/X5, Ace Pro and Ace Pro 2, GO 3 and 3S, DJI Osmo Action 3 through 6, Osmo Pocket 3 and Xiaomi Yi. Ride Tech Moto's mounts are built around a clip mechanism — their FAQ describes compatibility with "any device that utilizes a clip mounting mechanism" and notes that a worn or generic clip is a common cause of play in the mount. MotoRadds mounts your camera on a fingertab joint rather than requiring a separate buckle clip, and that joint is included in the box at no extra cost. Ride Tech Moto sells a Vertical Video Mount for portrait shooting; MotoRadds makes vertical adapters and in-helmet mounts for the DJI Osmo Nano and Insta360 GO 3S.
Do I get a tracking number? With MotoRadds, yes. With Ride Tech Moto, only if you select a tracked option at checkout — their default shipping is untracked.
What about European buyers? Ride Tech Moto fulfils from Ontario, so a European order clears customs on the way in — duty plus a carrier brokerage fee — and their policy offers no international return labels, so sending one back is on you and crosses the border again. MotoRadds fulfils EU orders from a warehouse in Czechia, so European orders are EU-domestic with no duty or brokerage, and our lifetime warranty applies worldwide rather than being capped at 12 months or sold as an add-on. Most of the time, our website won't let you check out if it's not in stock at your service warehouse.
What does a return cost? Ride Tech Moto: 30 days, everything in original condition and packaging, and $8.49 deducted if you use their prepaid label — or your own postage. International returns get no label. MotoRadds: 30 days, unused, buyer pays return shipping to Arizona. With either brand, once the adhesive liner is off, assume you own it.
Why does their site say 18,516 reviews? We don't know. Their product pages display a 5/5 badge citing that figure, while their Loox review page — the platform collecting their reviews — shows 4.8/5 from 1,301. The Loox number is the one we'd trust, and it's still a strong result.
