5. Black All-In-One
This handy stand from Black can lift both the front or the back of a bike and comes with three mounting options; a universal swingarm square-section pad, a hooked bracket for bikes with bobbins and a pin for the front to locate in the bottom of the fork legs. It has long and short handles to allow it to work on both the front and the rear, with the latter's additional length to sit the stand on the swingarm and it has an adjustable width up to 450mm for the rear and 310mm for the front.
6. R&G Single-Sided Stand
This stand from R&G is designed for bikes with a single-sided swingarm, such as models from BMW, Ducati and more. It works the same way as other stands but the pin locates in the wheel spindle from one side (there are left-handed and right-handed version available) to allow the wheel to be removed. Once you've bought the stand, you buy the relevant pin for your bike - £22.99 for each bike.
7. BikeTek Static Rear
This interesting-looking item from BikeTek is designed more for storage and display than outright maintenance work but could be useful to keep your bike off the ground over winter, for example. The steel tube runs through the rear-wheel spindle and the stand pulls the bike up off the ground. It's particularly useful as the stand doesn't protrude past the back of the bike, making it compact and convenient.
8. Ryde Aluminium
This chunky stand from Ryde is formed in box-section aluminium for low weight with high strength and gets great reviews. It comes with hooks for bobbins and will lift a huge 317kg, more than most bikes in total. The width of the bobbin hooks is adjustable, up to a maximum of 375mm and it comes with an extended handle to keep the hands safe and help lift the bike off the ground.
9. MotoGP Front Head Stand
Produced under licence from the MotoGP race series, this stand lifts the bike on the bottom of the headstock to allow the front wheel or forks to be removed. It comes with five different lift pins to suit a variety of bikes and is made in 32mm tubular steel. It uses smooth-glide wheels and there are also pads under the handle to prevent trapping fingers when lifting the bike, for example and making it easy to set the bike down again.
10. Abba Superbike Stand
The Abba Superbike stand is a bit like a centrestand for bikes that can't use them. It fits, via a bike-specific mounting kit, to the bike's swingarm mount on each side and the extending handle is used to tip the bike forward, lifting it off the ground. It's a stable and useful way to lift the bike but it will naturally rest on the front wheel. However, an adapter is available to help lift the front wheel off the ground or the frame could be chocked if you need both wheels off the ground.
