Bike crutches: discover the one your bike deserves!

Choosing the right bike stand increases the capacity of your bike. A sturdy bike stand allows you to carry more, and also ensures safe loading and unloading of a child seat, Bakkie panniers or equipment on the luggage rack. This accessory also makes parking easier.

We have selected URSUS bicycle stands for their proven robustness and stability. Renowned for their quality, they are used on many manufacturers' bicycles. All are adjustable or height-adjustable to suit your needs. Find out which one you need below, as a retrofit or replacement!

How to choose a bike stand?

There are several types of stand. Your type of bike, how it's used, the size of the wheel and the intended location for the stand will determine which model is right for you. Center stand, rear stand, double or single stand, side stand or not: here are their specific features to guide your choice!

The bicycle center stand

The center stand, whether single (i.e. side stand) or double, is fixed to the center of the bike: if your bike is equipped with the stand support between the frame chainstays, at bottom bracket level, then this is the one you need! If your bike doesn't have a stand, but has pre-drilled mounting holes in the same central position, you'll need to add the supplied counterplate. The bicycle center stand is particularly popular for its stability.The center stand, whether single (i.e. side stand) or double, is fixed to the center of the bike: if your bike is equipped with the stand support between the frame chainstays, at bottom bracket level, then this is the one you need!

The double standThe double stand

The double stand is a center stand particularly suited to heavy bicycles, such as mail or courier bikes, cargo bikes, mama bikes, tandems and transport bikes. It's also ideal for a loaded bike, whether classic or electric: its fork easily supports heavy loads on the luggage rack and in the panniers, as well as a child seat. The Ursus Jumbo 80 double stand can carry up to 100 kg! Its stability makes it easy to load children or equipment.

The single stand or side stand

The simple center stand, also known as the side stand because of its side positioning, rests on a single foot. Its advantage: lightness!

For folding bikes or wheel sizes from 16 to 24 inches, the URSUS King Mini 78 is the benchmark side-mounted center stand. Lightweight yet sturdy, the URSUS King Evo 78 center stand supports a load of up to 40 kg and is suitable for 3 wheel sizes: 24", 26" and 28".

URSUS Kaiser 69 is the strongest side-mounted center stand, capable of supporting up to 55 kg for a 26 or 28-inch bike. It makes an excellent stand for heavy bikes, and is ideal for city bikes, electric bikes and loaded touring bikes carrying children or equipment.

For wheel sizes equal to or greater than 27.5", 28" and 29", the URSUS King Evo XL stand extends to a greater height.

The rear stand

If your bike is equipped with pre-drilled mounting points on the left-hand chainstay, you can choose a rear stand. This must be a side stand.

The URSUS King Evo Rear Stand R78 is suitable for bikes with a wheel size of 24", 26" or 28". For wheel sizes of 27.5", 28" or 29", the extra-long URSUS King Evo Rear XL is more suitable.

Both models are available in 2 variants, 18 mm or 40 mm, depending on the center distance (the distance between the mounting holes) of your bike.

What size wheel does my bike have?

To determine your bike's wheel size and choose the right crutch, simply look at the label on the side of the wheel: the size is indicated, sometimes in full (26") or sometimes in the abbreviated form "26'". A lamp can sometimes be useful to see things more clearly...

Thanks to all these elements, all that's left to do is select the crutch made for your bike from our selection!
