Der Ständer ist zum aktuellen Preis von rund 150 Euro nicht billig, aber ein Schnäppchen. Für den gleichen Preis erhält man normalerweise das kleinere Modell 9.2 (etwas einfachere Beine und Trageklammer, keine Ablage für Kleinteile)
Der Aufbau erfolgte unter Zuhilfenahme des Youtube-Videos des Herstellers schnell und reibungslos.
Die Qualität erscheint hoch, der Ständer hat keinerlei Probleme ein Cube Reaction Hybrid mit rund 24kg sicher zu tragen. Die Befestigung des Rades bereitet keinerlei Probleme. Die Ablage ist sehr klein, aber auch nicht wirklich nötig. Es gibt eine deutlich größere als Zubehör, ebenso eine Stange zum Fixieren des Lenkers. Letztere könnte sinnvoll sein. Nach Gebrauch läßt sich der 10.2 schnell und einfach zu einem handlichen Paket zusammenfalten.
Ich kann den Ständer zu diesem Preis jedem empfehlen der schwere Ebikes sicher fixieren möchte. Die Qualität läßt vermuten, dass ich dieses Teil eines Tages vererben werde. 😉 Für leichtere Räder gibt es günstigere Alternativen.

I haven’t run into any significant issues with this stand. It is very solid with thick gauge steel construction, a wide 3 point base that centers the weight of the bike over the feet, a very solid bike clamp that doesn’t slip in any position (unlike some other models), and tear drop shaped tubes to eliminate any unintended slipping/rotating of the height-adjustable tube.
The stand comes partially assembled. The rest of the assembly is very easy and only took about 10 minutes…they even include the tools you need to put it together (a small wrench and a couple allen keys).
It also comes with a little tray that mounts on the vertical arm. It’s small but still very handy for holding nuts/bolts or small items along with a bunch of holes for your screwdrivers, allen wrenches, etc. You can get optional accessories for it as well like a paper towel holder or a larger tray.
One of the reasons I chose this stand was for the base. It uses a wide 3 point system with 2 folding legs that extend out to the sides and sit very low to the floor. The vertical tube comes up and forward at an angle so that when the bike is clamped it is hanging above the legs and centered between the 3 contact points of the base. This makes for a very balanced and stable setup. The legs are low to the floor so they don’t get in the way and are easy to step over and there are no legs or space taken up on the backside of the stand. It could be placed up near a wall/shelf needed.
Some other models use a tripod style base with an arm that extends straight up. The clamps on these put the weight of the bike more forward of the base instead of being centered over it…not as stable. The legs are higher and more in the way as well, including on the backside of the stand. I find the park-style base to be more solid and less obtrusive.
The clamp mechanism for the bike was also big selling point. It is very solid and easy to use. The quick release handle lets you quickly clamp it around your seat post and then just needs a quick turn or 2 to snug it up…reverse the process to remove it. It literally just takes a few seconds and is very nice compared to some other models where you have to screw or unscrew the clamp the whole way.
Also I often rotate my bike to some more extreme near-vertical angles to bleed brakes, clean the underside, etc and the clamp has no problem holding it in these higher stress positions. Ive used other brand’s stands where you had to turn the clamp insanely hard to get the bike to stay in these positions and even then it will still start sagging/slipping. The park clamp is just rock solid in comparison.
It’s not the cheapest stand out there but unfortunately most cheaper models aren’t going to give you the same solid performance.

I had a cheaper stand for a couple of years, it kind of did the job but also didn’t – I wasn’t confident in its gripping ability and often found putting force down caused things to slip etc so I decided enough is enough lets get a proper bike stand.
I was tempted to go for other brands, slightly better priced and looked similar but nope Park Tool are known for being the standard so that’s what I’m getting.
Wow, I’m glad I did – easy enough to put together and it can hold my bike in the position I’d want even upside down if needed, and i don’t have to tweak bolts or break my hand trying to clamp down bolts/screws in an attempt to make it grip, it’s just a few quick turns and then clamp with the very sturdy feeling quick release – job done.
Easily adjustable & sturdy height/position as well so everything just feels very solid, this thing is going to last me many years of general bike maintenance if not forever.

Très belle couleur bleue typique de Park Tool avec la qualité de la marque.
Après un montage assez simple, l’ensemble semble robuste et rempli parfaitement sa fonction. Le maintient du vélo est excellent (utilisé pour VTT). A voir dans le temps mais les matériaux inspirent confiance et la qualité globale est très correcte, je recommande !

I’ve had a Blackburn Workstand for many years. It was never able to hold my bike in anything but a level position. It also has not very stable. This stand solves both those issues and more. I’ve only used it a few times but it’s worked flawlessly. I love the clamp and how easy it is to use. It’s also a little shorter than my old one so I can clamp on spots that I wasn’t able to. It holds my bike in any position I set it in and I tested this with my fat bike set in a vertical position. I am also very happy that I can adjust the height, again another improvement from my last stand. It is heavier than my old stand and doesn’t fold up as flat. The weight is just a factor of it’s sturdiness and adjustability and doesn’t bother me. I did consider getting one of the more expensive Park Tool stands because they do fold up flatter but didn’t want to spend the extra money.

Easily holds my retro Specialized Hardrock from the 1980s. I read many reviews of this stand before buying. Several reviews say it collapsed with while holding a bike. Not good. One reviewer posted a pic showing the plastic clamp that stabilizes the extension tube actually split in two after his bike came crashing down on him. I agree with several other reviewers that this can only happen if the extension tube is positioned well above the maximum height indicated on the tube, but in defense of the poor guy whose bike fell on him, the MAX height line is embossed on the extension tube and is nearly impossible to see. Find this line when you first assemble the stand and mark it with a permanent marker. It’s important. More worrisome to me are the reviews suggesting the clamp that holds the extension tube at a given height will slip and allow the bike to fall, in this case without breaking anything. I have NOT experienced this, but I’ve only been using it a week and only for a relatively light mountain bike. Another reviewer wished for a way to hold the handle bar still; I agree. I’m using a short bungee cord, but surely Park Tool can think of something better. Now for the positives. The assembly instructions are decent, but what really stands out during assembly is all the little things the designers thought of and solved by good design. As other reviewers have said, the pictures are the key to correct assembly. Park Tool would do well to eliminate the words entirely and upgrade the drawings the way IKEA has made it simple for anyone to assemble furniture. I love the quick-release feature of all the clamps; this was my main reason for buying 10.2 instead of 9.2. The main clamp that holds the bike is massive and rotates to any conceivable position. The designers even left room for external cables to pass through the clamp without themselves being clamped. Nice. The clamp jaws will not mar the surface paint job of your favorite bike. Finally, the really important point: if you work on bikes, get a stand! It’s SO much easier to do the work and you will save your back for riding.

The instructions had a slight mistake in them near the end, but it was pretty easy to figure out what they meant. Otherwise, it went together easily, and is very stable. I got the heavy duty one because i have a fat bike and it’s heavier. This thing works great! It puts the bike at the right height for whatever I need to work on, whether it’s oiling the chain or adjusting the shifting. And i was surprised that it doesn’t take up all that much space. The legs can be folded up, but I haven’t done that. It fits fine in my garage, and it’s light enough to move it where I need it. Highly recommend this one. I’m more of the “weekend warrior” type, but it seems to be stable enough for every day use.

Don’t try to save a few $ buying the cheaper competitor models. I tried that, threw the thing out after 1 yr.

From the moment I opened the box, I was really impressed with this bike stand. Extremely well packaged, all parts were in perfect condition. Assembly was incredibly easy. Part fit and finish is perfect. Every part is rock solid. The bike clamp is an absolute beast and holds my heaviest bike with ease, with no deflection in the stand. To be fair, this bike stand cost twice as much as the lower cost units, but when you see how well it is made and how easily it folds and how functional it is, I am very glad that I paid the extra cost. It has been a long time since I have been this impressed with a product.

I finally have a bike repair stand that works to hold my bike steady as I work on it. After trying one of those off brand repair stands with 4 legs I decided to sell that shaky one and get a Park, a brand known for their quality products. I had a challenge trying to decide to get this PCS 10.2 model vs. the lesser-priced PCS 9. The main difference between the 2 being a slightly beefier bike clamp and more quick release leavers on the PCS 10. I’m glad I spent the extra $$ and got the PCS 10 except for one feature. All of the adjustable clamps are fitted with quick release levers, which make setting up and taking down this stand a cinch. EXCEPT for the extra safety clamp located at where the leg extension locking lever is found. I see why the extra safety clamp has been added, because if the user doesn’t fully and adequately tighten the primary locking clamp it tends to slip and the stand can collapse. It appears that Park added the extra safety clamp later, but didn’t bother to design it with quick release like the other adjustment points. This kind of defeats the purpose of having this “quick release” model. Having to screw tighten only one clamp is better than all of them as found on the PCS 9, so I’m still giving this excellent repair stand 5 stars.
