As we set about developing the next generation of Oxford paddock stands, we brought together all this experience and feedback and created something really very special …ZERO-G.
ENGINEERED TO TAKE THE WEIGHT OFF…
All our paddock stands are engineered using the latest CAD technology and 3D modelling techniques. By being scientifically designed to minimise the required effort to move a given load, our new ZERO-G range of paddock stands literally take the weight off. Even better, they can do this without weighing too much themselves, making them even easier to use and live with.
In fact, they are on average 70% more rigid than previous models, whilst weighing 35% less.

TESTED TO EXTREMES…
The entire range of products was subjected to the rigours of our test laboratory. In the case of ZERO-G paddock stands, the components had to survive our accelerated weathering simulator and then prove themselves in our 5000kg tensile machine, before being tested in real world conditions.
The average bike weighs 210kg, split 60/40 front to rear. That means that a rear paddock stand has to withstand on average 84kg.
Just for fun (because most aren’t even paddock stand compatible), the heaviest production bikes in the world weigh over 400kg, meaning that a rear paddock stand would need to be able to deal with 160kg.
ZERO-G paddock stands are all rated to 300kg, but this is with a HUGE safety margin; in our tensile tester, all test examples have withheld at least 1800kg.
CHOICES, CHOICES, CHOICES…
ZERO-G paddock stands cater for all kind of bikes – including those with single-sided swing arms – and preferences, such as a choice of fork- or headstock-mounted front stands.
If you are dashing up and down the pitlane, you’ll probably choose our aluminium ZERO-G LITE stands for their minimal 4kg weight. PITLANE PERFECTION.
If you’re regularly fettling your pride-and-joy, you might prefer the reassurance of our steel ZERO-G stands. DREAM WORKSHOP.
If you’re on a budget or have limited use for stands, you’ll also find our brilliant ‘standard’ paddock stands at the back of this brochure, along with all the accessories you might need HOME MECHANIC.
Whatever your needs, we have the paddock stand solution.
