Event Stand

A race-day mechanic service tent runs on a different rhythm from a shop floor: bikes arrive faster than a single clamp-on repair stand can cycle them, and the bikes waiting their turn need somewhere to go that isn't propped against a fence. The Event Stand is the bike-holding solution for that pattern. It's a modular bar that holds up to 10 bikes by the saddle in its full-length configuration, sets up in under a minute without tools, and packs into a carrying bag at the end of the day.

The short configuration is 1820 mm / 71 inches end-to-end and holds 4-5 bikes; the extension makes it 2630 mm / 103 inches and carries the full 10. The stand body is rigid enough that a 225 lb mechanic can lean on it without the bar sagging; we tested it. Total weight is 8.2 kg, which is light enough to single-hand into a support vehicle and back out at the next venue.

What this is and what it isn't

The Event Stand is a bike holding line, not a repair stand. You don't wrench on bikes mounted to it; you hold them while they wait for the actual repair stand. The expected pattern is to pair the Event Stand with a single portable repair stand (the BikeGator or the Pro Road Stand) so one mechanic can work the front of the line while up to 9 bikes queue up behind.

Built in Zreče, Slovenia

Unior has been forging hand tools in Zreče since 1919, and sponsors professional road and mountain-bike race teams. The Event Stand exists because team mechanics at race starts asked for it: a fast-setup, single-bag, multi-bike holder that doesn't fight the limited tent space at the start of a stage. The modular bar is the shape that came out of that ask.

Pro tip from our mechanics

The Event Stand is the right call for race tents, group-ride support, and team-camp service bays where the constraint is bike-storage flow, not wrench throughput. Pairing it with a single portable repair stand turns one mechanic into a 50-rider event's worth of service capacity.
