I just got a kickstand that bolts to the back. Always there and easy to use. Haven’t had any issues with it. View attachment 31909
Not saying you can't install a bike stand on your bike... if that's your preference and it suits your particular application. Ever wonder why you CAN see kick-stands factory-installed on commuter bicycles and road motorcycles, BUT never on high performance MTB/BMX bicycles, or Trail/Motocross motorcycles?

Two wheeled off-road vehicles (and road racing vehicles too I guess) have a higher likelihood of crashing - and a kick-stand can very easily flick out and pose an impalement hazard not only for you, but also for your riding buddies. It's a safety thing... (y)

My Cube HT has a stand like that. It won't slow me down and it poses no extra hazard than I do. It does rattle sometimes...
All my trailbikes had kickstands and I've had a few. In an MX race, sure remove all superfluous kit.
We do seem to have a lot of hardcore professional racers on here tho so fair advice I guess.
