Decathlon has introduced a new workshop stand labeled "Pro" since mid-September, aimed at cyclists looking for a more advanced tool for bike maintenance and repair. The full name of the product is Pied d'atelier vélo Pro 360°, and it is priced at 174.99 euros on Decathlon's website. The stand was developed in collaboration with the mechanics of Van Rysel Roubaix, a UCI Continental level cycling team that competes in road racing using bikes from the brand. This partnership suggests the stand is designed with input from professionals who work on high-performance bicycles. The stand uses a fixed wheel axle system, similar to those found on high-end bike stands, which typically use fork mounting. To use it, the user must remove either the front or rear wheel, reinsert the through axle, and then place it into the jaw of the stand, which can then be closed and locked. The jaw is designed to accommodate the two most common axle diameters: 12 and 15 mm. However, users need to be aware that the stand does not include a quick-release system, which is listed as an accessory sold separately. Additionally, the stand is not compatible with 20 mm through axles, which are used on some higher-end bikes. Decathlon highlights a "pressure-free" fixing system, which means the stand does not apply pressure to the carbon tubes or the seat post of the bike, reducing the risk of damage. A drop block, adjustable to the height of the frame triangle, adds stability to the setup. The company claims that this design allows users to apply high tightening torques and even clean the bike using a high-pressure washer without damaging the frame. The rail of the stand can pivot 360 degrees and tilt up to 90 degrees, allowing users to rotate the bike to access the part they need to work on. Additional features include an adjustable height range from 75.5 to 100 cm, a solid rail that is 85 cm long and 5 cm wide, a graduated scale to position the jaw precisely, and a design that resists water and dirt. The stand can support up to 30 kg, which is sufficient for most bikes, including electric bicycles. It also includes a tool tray with a clip system and can be fully folded, taking up a space of 95 x 25 x 18 cm when not in use. The Pied d'atelier vélo Pro 360° is already available for pre-order on Decathlon's website. It is set to be released on November 9 in France through the Weelz platform, as well as in Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy, and Portugal. This release marks Decathlon's expansion into more specialized cycling equipment, targeting both casual and serious cyclists who need reliable tools for maintenance and repair.
