Rimpact Launches Updated Portable Bike Stand
Press Release: Rimpact
Our updated stand is finally here, ready to ship. Just like its predecessor, this stand seamlessly folds away within seconds—no tools required.
The Stand folds out in seconds without the use of tools which means it takes up little space when stowed.
What is it?
An ultra-portable, tool free bike stand, designed for use before and after a ride. Flat packs in seconds allowing you to conveniently stow it in your vehicle unlike bulky workshop repair stands. The stand
connects to the bike via a BB interface, allowing for the free rotation of the cranks and rear wheel. Adjust, clean and maintain without leaning it against a vehicle or turning it upside down and damaging the cockpit.
Freeing up both hands to allow you to clean your bike easily after a muddy ride.
What's new?
Following feedback from the first iteration of the Stand we released last year; we’ve made some changes to build upon the design and produce an even more useful stand that will become a trusty companion you’ll use at the start and end of every ride! We’ve enlarged the profile of the main tube to reduce flex, making it more compatible with heavy Ebikes. The folding arms have also seen a redesign to make it more stable on uneven ground. We’ve made the stand more useful than ever by including more adaptors, ensuring compatibility with almost all mid to high end hollow spindle cranks on the market.

Does it work with my Ebike?
Yes! The big news is the stand is now compatible with all major Ebike motors and cranks. It features an 8mm base spindle that slots through the hollow crank preload bolt. Have a normal/traditional/acoustic bike? Using the provided 12 or 18mm adaptors allows you to use it with nearly every spindle-type construction crank in the market. If you don’t see your crank on our compatibility list, reach out and we'll confirm compatibility for your bike.

Built to withstand your bike and the elements
The Stand is manufactured and assembled in it’s entirety here in the UK constructed from 6082 Aluminium for the arms and 304 Stainless Steel tubing. Corrosion resistant and reliable. The arms of the stand run on Igus Polymer bushings which allow the arms to fold out or away with ease. With a stable base and a max 50kg weight limit, your bike won’t fall over in the wind or when you jet wash it. Zero grease or servicing required. The Stand also comes with a 5 year warranty for further peace of mind.
The first batch of new Stands being assembled at our HQ in Bristol.
The Stand retails at a UK RRP of £129.99 and is available now from www.rimpactmtb.com as well as a handful of Distributors and Dealers Internationally.
