Review on πŸ”” Black Rear-Mount Bell Bracer 500 Kickstand by Andrea Miller

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well on a full suspension hard triangle

This stand is fitted to a 2003 Intense Spider. Intense Full Suspension bikes use a rigid rear triangle with two floating links on the frame. Most FS bikes use a pivot near the rear axle. Bell's instructions specifically state that it cannot be used on pivot FS bikes. The footboard is all steel and has no pad between it and the frame. The edges are semi-sharp and can cut into the aluminum triangle. I added two pieces of rubber to avoid scratches, see photo. I would give 5 stars if these rubber pads were included. As you can see from the photos they barely loosen the disc brake rotor.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Some imperfections
