EMTB Bike Stand for full sus bike with suspension under cross bar

[MrPompey]

Hi - I have a Spesh Turbo Levo Comp Gen 3 where the shock is mounted under the crossbar. Can anyone please recommend a bike stand strong enough for an EMTB where it can still grip bike safely and hold off ground with an under crossbar shock . With my manual bikes my cheap stand would be gripped on the crossbar. I clearly need a stronger stand but where will it grip? I hope this makes sense

I’m not sure if this is what you’re looking for. But this works for me.

Park Tool stand and Saris cross bar. My bike lives here and plus it’s easy to service.

Thank you. Yes this will get me past the problem with the angled cross bar and shock that sits under it. This setup ensures the bike is also at the right angle. I best have a look a costs now. Thanks again!

I was mostly worried that the clamp would crush the carbon fibre top-bar…but now it’s just too easy to hang the bike there after each ride.

I added a tool tray and wired the stand for easy charging also. Duct tape keeps the plastic support clamps from sliding.

Have exactly the same Park stand with a Halfords False Cross Bar* to service our Rails.

* Has a weight limit of 15kg but after two years use haven't seen any bending or cracking. Our Rails are about 25kg each.

I just looked up the Saris LT bar and these seem to have a load capacity of 35lb / 16kg. My bike is about 24kg so thats about 53lb

Is yours a SARIS LT bar and what what weight is your bike? Perhaps the weight ratings are if you carry on the car?

I think the Saris crossbar was originally intended for a bike rack. But it seems to hold my bike up just fine. Same weight as yours I think.
