Five assembly stands and one central stand in the test

A rear stand is required to jack up the motorcycle for maintenance work. We tested five rear stands or assembly stands as well as a central stand.

The classic rear stands make the start. These all have V-mounts to accommodate so-called prism bushings that are screwed into the swing arm. The rear stands for this comparison come from Buse (universal rear jack plus extra V mount), Louis (aluminum motorcycle jack Racing plus extra V mount), Polo (HI-Q Tools assembly stand III), Racefoxx (high end) and Telefix (Rear wheel lift Sport with claw mount). Even when unpacking, it is noticeable that the manufacturers are pursuing different approaches. Most of the rear lifts are made in one piece, only the V-mounts still have to be installed, while the Polo and Telefix stands consist of several parts. The assembly is a little more complex, but these stands can be disassembled again when not in use. So they take up less space. The two uprights also prove that a divisible design depends on precise production, especially of the connecting parts. While the polo lifter is a bit warped on its rollers, the heaviest rear lifter, the Telefix, is fully aligned with one another and lies solidly on the floor. This also benefits the stability.

V-shots affect the stability

This not only depends on the general structure, but is also influenced by the V-mounts. We like the lightweight Racefoxx stand with its rock-solid construction, but the V-mounts are quite narrow in terms of material thickness. Therefore, the Racefoxx lifter comes off worse than expected in terms of stability, which was rated solo and with front lifter. In addition, the Racefoxx stand lacks a meaningful width adjustment of the V-mounts. Racefoxx supplies two different V-mounts. These are designed to be 32 and 34 centimeters wide. Very narrow on today’s superbike arms. The test Fireblade could just be jacked up. All other stands that also lift a motorcycle higher do this better. With the Racefoxx it can get tight when a tire warmer needs to be put on. How it works is demonstrated again by the Telefix stand, which offers a width adjustment range of up to 45 centimeters. For this purpose, the V-mounts can be locked at different heights.

Central stand for frequent screwdrivers

And the Bursig central stand? Of course, it can do even more. Once the model-specific adapter has been adjusted and the mount is firmly attached to the motorcycle, the Fireblade glides upward. Thanks to additional rollers, the raised motorcycle can even be moved freely. Another advantage: The shock absorber is accessible and dismantling is possible because the swing arm is not loaded. Of course, all of this has its price. In addition, the central stand weighs a lot and takes up a lot of space. For frequent screwdrivers, it is nevertheless an alternative to the pure rear jacks that is worth considering.

Polo Hi-Q Tools assembly stand III

Polo Hi-Q Tools assembly stand III: 79.99 euros.

Weight: 5.1 kg, width: 29–37.5 cm, price: 79.99 euros

Angle and V mounts are included, can be dismantled, good width adjustment by handwheel. The stand is very universally suitable.

Stand slightly warped. Should be more stable. The dismantling has a negative effect here. Great effort when jacking up.

Conclusion: The polo stand wants to be everything at once: it can be dismantled and can be used universally. He manages that too, but this leads to compromises in terms of effort and stability.

Louis Rothewald aluminum motorcycle stand

Louis Rothewald aluminum motorcycle stand: 129.98 euros

Weight: 3.2 kg, width: 31–40 cm, price: 129.98 euros

Since it is one-piece, the Louis stand can be used immediately. Great: Its low weight and stable stand – also thanks to the wide V-mounts.

The V-recordings are really wide, do not fit all sockets. It takes a lot of smack to lift the blade.

Conclusion: The Rothewald stand looks good, is stable even when loaded and is still really light. That makes it an all-round successful assembly stand.

Buse universal tail lift

Buse universal rear jack: 63.90 euros

Weight: 4.1 kg, width: 22.5–39 cm, price: 63.90 euros

From the box to the slopes: Since the bushing consists of one piece, only the V-mounts have to be mounted as an extra.

The Buse stand would be good for more stability. The Fireblade is full on the recordings, but a little fuller on others.

Conclusion: Simple and good: For the price, the rear stand from Buse offers a successful overall package, making it a tip for bargain hunters.

Racefoxx assembly stand high end

Racefoxx assembly stand High End: 129.00 euros

Weight: 2.9 kg, width: 32–34 cm, price: 129.00 euros

It couldn’t be easier. Even when you simply lift it, the Racefoxx puts a smile on your face, and you also like good workmanship and low jacking force.

The V-mounts are not adjustable, but there are two different ones per stand. However, they are unstable and the adjustment range does not fit all bikes.

Conclusion: top material, top weight, only the recordings have problems. Therefore only a recommendation if the V-mounts really fit your bike.

Telefix jack Sport with claw mounts

mps photo studio

Telefix jack Sport with claw mounts: 99.95 euros

Weight: 7.0 kg, width: 7.5–45 cm, price: 99.95 euros

Very stable stand, the only stand with a height adjustment for the V-mounts. Nobody offers more adjustment options. It can also be dismantled to save space.

The Telefix is ​​heavy at seven kilograms, and the width can only be adjusted with a tool, a handwheel would be better.

Conclusion: Precise manufacturing and a large adjustment range make the Telefix a stable universal lifter for a wide variety of bikes and thus also the test winner among the rear stands.

This is how the rear stands were tested

The test of the rear stand is based on six different criteria with different ratings. A Honda Fireblade from the MOTORRAD endurance test fleet served as the test motorcycle.

  • Processing and structure: One-piece base stands have an advantage when setting up. Here only the V mounts have to be attached. In the case of multi-part stands, they must first be assembled. That means extra work. The evaluation of the workmanship is the same for everyone: If all the screws are in place, what do the welds look like, is the stand stable or is it warped: These are the questions here.
  • Threading: How safely and easily do the V-mount and swing arm of the Honda Fireblade come together? So does the width of the rear stand fit for a safe jacking up, can it be adjusted appropriately and do the V-mountings securely grip the bobbins? There were big differences here depending on the material thickness of the V-mount.
  • Effort: Do you need arms like a bodybuilder to lift the Fireblade or is it easier? This is particularly dependent on how high the respective stand lifts the Fireblade. It works more easily with a good lever arm.
  • Stability solo and with front stand: If the Fireblade is on the rear stand, the stability test follows. How stable is the bike on the V-mounts when working on the motorcycle? And are there any differences if the front wheel is also jacked up? To assess this, we used a Kern-Stabi front wheel stand with a rocker mount for all test stands.
  • Space requirement: Dismountable stands are at the front. After that, the sheer size is important. However: Normally the stand simply remains under the bike, which is why there are only a few points in this category.

Bursig central assembly stand including castors

The central stand from Bursig can do much more than a normal assembly stand, it lifts both wheels at the same time.

Weight: 12.8 kg, width: any, price: 429 euros

The front and rear wheels of the Fireblade are relieved at the same time. Thanks to the castors available as accessories, the motorcycle can be easily moved when jacked up. Accessible shock absorber.

If the stand is not needed, it takes up a lot of space. The initial assembly is also a bit more complex, in addition to its high weight compared to the other stands.

Conclusion: The Bursig stand can do much more than a normal assembly stand, it lifts both wheels at the same time. However, the stand has its price and requires a lot of space. Nevertheless, he takes the lead and takes the overall test victory.
