The bike has now been put on the trailer without any major mishap. Before you get into the car and start racing, you should definitely secure the motorcycle appropriately so that it does not become independent on the way. As? MOTORRAD presents 24 smart motorcycle transport solutions.

Rothewald front wheel motorcycle stand:
The stand rocker (59.95 euros) from the current Detlev Louis range accepts front wheels between 17 and 21 inches (tire width 90 to 130 millimeters). The stability is still acceptable. But what is annoying: During the initial assembly, the somewhat carelessly coated steel pipes have to be screwed under tension, and all movable ones
Parts have a lot of play overall.

Hein Gericke Street Triple access ramp:
There is probably no more compact way to fold a ramp. The 6.5 kilo aluminum construction measures almost two meters at full length, but only 71 cm when folded twice. A tension belt with a hook prevents it from slipping. The workmanship is solid, the price of 79.95 euros fits. Attention: The ramp can be loaded with a maximum of 250 kg.

Hi-Q Tools access ramp:
This 6.3 kilo loading ramp costs a slim 89.95 euros in the polo shops or via shipping. The 2.16 meter long aluminum ramp can be loaded with 340 kilos and can be folded down to a short 1.14 meters for transport. With three teeth, it can also be placed on trailers with stand rails. A tension belt to secure the ramp is included. Only the big play in the hinged joint bothers.

Zurrschienen.com rail system:
Alexander Koch from Stuttgart has specialized in the sale of high-quality lashing systems. The aluminum lashing rails, which can be loaded up to 2500 daN, are available in various designs (semicircular, flat, for corner mounting) from two meters in length (from 49 euros). In addition, the matching fittings (from 5 euros) with which the motorcycle can be lashed down with pinpoint accuracy.

Hein Gericke Blackline tension belt:
Five meter lashing strap, sturdy ratchet with comfortable soft-touch handle, transport bag and a pair of work gloves. The complete set also fulfills the correct norm for load securing (EN 12195-2), can be loaded up to 2000 kg and costs a manageable 12.95 euros at Hein Gericke.

Joubert lashing strap set:
Detlev Louis offers these five-meter-long tension belts with ratchets in a practical six-pack. With a lashing force of 350 daN in the strapping, the polyester fabric, which has been tested in accordance with EN 12195-2, is ideal for securely tensioning the motorcycle. Currently available at the particularly attractive promotional price of a slim 29.95 euros in the Louis shops or by mail order.

Ratioparts ratchet strap with roll-up mechanism:
The handling of this ratchet, which is available from Hein Gericke for 19.95 euros, is impressively simple: At the push of a button, the 1.8-meter belt, which can be loaded with 250 daN, can be pulled out to the desired length or rolled up again. Practical: the galvanized steel hooks with C-profile.

mps photo studio

9/28
Touratech ratchet lashing strap:
With a length of around three meters, the Touratech ratchet strap (14.90 euros) is ideal for transporting motorcycles. The practical Velcro end for neat storage when not in use is also appealing. What I don’t like: no information on the load capacity and no reference to the test standard.

mps photo studio

10/28
Racefoxx ratchet and guy belts:
With this package solution from Racefoxx, the bike is securely lashed down in seconds. Two padded loops (9.90 euros) for the fork bridge, then just hang in the rubberized S-hooks of the automatic ratchet straps (19.90 euros / pair) with the roll-up mechanism and tighten. Load capacity tested according to EN 12195.

mps photo studio

11/28
Lashing strap package from Zurrschienen.com:
Matching the lashing rails shown in the next picture, the provider Zurrschienen.com offers complete equipment for motorcycle transport: four lashing straps with ratchet fasteners and carabiners, plus four endless loops in two lengths. The set costs 100 euros, has been tested in accordance with EN 12195 and can withstand loads of up to 1000 daN.

Abus lashing straps: At Polo, tensioners get their money’s worth. Because the shop chain exclusively offers a particularly wide range of ABUS lashing straps such as: B. the set of four with clamp locks (19.99 euros), a five-meter lashing strap with ratchet and rubberized S-hook (12.99 euros) or the six-meter-long ratchet strap with C-hook (29.99 euros). Of course tested according to EN 12195.

Racefoxx handlebar guy belt:
Again and again difficult: the secure tensioning of fully clad super athletes or even scooters. If the fork bridge is difficult to reach, tension belts like this one from Racefoxx (14.90 euros) are an ingenious alternative. Simply put it over the handlebar ends, then pull the loops down. Tighten carefully so as not to risk a bent handlebar.

mps photo studio

18/28
Bike-Tower assembly stand:
The central stand from Bike-Tower is primarily intended for service and maintenance work, but Aleksander Bilcar also wanted to offer a solution for motorcycle transport with its construction. If the bike tower is in a stable position (transporter or trailer without rails), the lift height can be adjusted so that the wheels are still in contact with the ground. This allows the motorcycle to be unhitched without the chassis being compressed. Price including model-specific support plate 359 euros.

mps photo studio

19/28
Racefoxx rear tension belt:
At first glance the cheap alternative to Acebikes’ Tyrefix. However, the Racefoxx tensioner (19.90 euros) still lacks the necessary ratchet straps. If you add this, the alternative is suddenly no longer that cheap.
Unlike the Tyrefix, the nylon fabric is attached to the bike with Velcro. However, there is no non-slip contact surface for the tire.

mps photo studio

20/28
Acebikes Tyrefix:
Modern bikes hardly offer any options for solidly securing the rear end. The Tyrefix from Acebikes (68 euros) offers the perfect solution: a non-slip pad for the tire that is tensioned to the front with two sturdy ratchet straps. If the front wheel is in a seesaw, as is the case here, the motorcycle cannot be made ready for transport faster and more effectively.

mps photo studio

21/28
racefoxx brake lever safety belt:
Simple and effective: With this Velcro strip made of sturdy nylon fabric (4.90 euros), the front brake can be locked safely and permanently – which makes transporting the bike all the easier. In our MOTORRAD fleet, too, this trick with the brake has proven its worth.

mps photo studio

22/28
Hein Gericke brake lock:
It’s always the little things that decisively improve transport from A to B. A particularly effective trick: blocking the front brake.
So the motorcycle stands really bombproof on the spot after it has been properly tensioned. Small problem with this two-part brake lock, which is available from Hein Gericke for 6.95 euros: the rubber tab can be pulled out of the groove on some bikes by the restoring force of the lever.

ACEbikes Steadystand:
There are front wheel rockers and there is the steady stand (promotional price 99 euros). The quality of the material is impressive: the finest surface finish thanks to a high-quality powder coating, and the first-class fit of the components is impressive during initial assembly. Allow five setting options …

Hein Gericke transport stand:
For all hobby hauliers who want to convert or upgrade their universal trailer in the do-it-yourself process for motorcycle transport: Hein Gericke has the right stop for the front or rear wheel. The assembly set with screws, nuts, washers and drive-in sleeves is included for the black painted tubular steel bracket. Price: 15.95 euros.

26/28
Zurrschienen.com motorcycle stand MS-2:
Another purchase for life: the large motorcycle stand from Zurrschienen.com. Technology gourmets will enjoy the high-quality workmanship and the smooth-running and rattle-free rocking mechanism. Thanks to the non-slip rubber feet, anchoring in the ground is not necessary. Six adjustment options for wheel sizes from 12 to 21 inches make the MS-2 (209 euros) a universal talent.

mps photo studio

27/28
Hein Gericke transport stand:
Not only superficially a front wheel rocker like that of Detlev Louis. The same problems arise during assembly (assembly only under tension, rattling mechanics). The surface quality is far removed from the high-end rockers in this overview. As with the Louis counterpart, the low price is tempting: the Gericke stand costs 59.95 euros. And offers two more brackets with which the rocker is anchored in the ground.

mps photo studio

28/28
Twinlox All-in-one:
The Twinlox system, in which the bikes are secured with special shock absorbers, is recommended for everyone who is almost professional in transporting motorcycles (with crossers or to the racetrack). These are anchored to the footrests or via the swing arm axis in an ultra-stable manner using adapters. A lashing rail, which is screwed to the vehicle floor, serves as a counterpart. MX / Crosser set 249 euros, All-in-One for 349 euros.
