What the manufacturer and retailers list
- Maximum bike weight: 25 kg (55 lb), as listed by retailers.
- Stand weight: 6 kg.
- Clamp height: adjustable from 122 cm to 183 cm.
- Construction: 6061 T6 aluminium tubes, with a clamp that Topeak describes as having an extra rotating lever.
- Folding: the stand folds for storage. Retailer listings disagree on the folded diameter, so we give only the 117 cm folded length.
Where it fits a triathlete’s workshop
The points below are our reading of the listed specs, not test results.
- Regular home maintenance. A stand that holds the bike at a set height saves bending over a drivetrain or brake job on a long winter of turbo and road miles.
- Seatpost clamping. This design holds the bike by the seatpost, so check that yours is a round post you are happy to clamp. A deep aero seatpost may not suit a round clamp, so check the shape of yours.
- Weight limit. 25 kg covers any road, triathlon or gravel bike. It is a spec to check if you plan to put an e-bike on it.
- Storage. It folds, which helps in a garage or spare room shared with a turbo trainer.
