Every once in a while something comes along that makes you ask the question "how could I have ever lived without one of these?" Generally something like the automobile or air conditioner comes to mind. We found a new one to add to the list, Risk Racing's RR1 Lift Stand. Getting your bike onto the stand in the pits has never been easier. You simply push or ride the bike onto the lowered lift. As the front tire touches the front plate, the lift rises to the bottom of the motorcycle frame. Step on the foot pedal and your bike will rise effortlessly into a secure position. Done! That's it. Walk away and get a drink of water. It's easier than having someone else do it for you!

I personally battle every time I come into the pits after riding. It's probably great entertainment watching me try to lift the bike onto a conventional stand. I hate using traditional stands where you have to lift the back end of the bike up and battle to get the fricken thing to balance. Nothing gets me into a crappy mood faster! To avoid this I usually just lean the bike against the truck. Stands with a foot lift are an improvement but still you have to hang onto the bike with one hand while you fish around the ground for the stand. Then you have to slide it under the bike. Not always easy on grass.

Getting the bike down off the RR1 lift is just as simple as getting it on, just kick the release with the heal of your boot and roll the bike off. Weighing only 23lbs, the RR1 Motocross Lift is lightweight, portable and stable in the pits. Each lift comes with a locking pin and is lockable in the up and down position for ease of transport and safety. The RR1 lifts both tires completely off the ground. Front and rear tires, and suspension can be serviced while on the lift. The framework is made of high-strength, powder-coated steel and is virtually bombproof. It isn't cheap but man it will save you some hassle!
