Even the best can be better. The first version of this kickstand had been conceived, designed and manufactured by URSUS in 2005. There wasn't any similar product, incredibly resistant and aesthetically beautiful, 100% MADE IN ITALY: very soon it became a bestseller and we protected it with an international 20-years patent. We still ship 9 million pieces per year all over the world. After about 10 years, we restyled our bestseller to make it even better by adding an enlarged crank bumper to ensure better protection against impacts, and a bigger foot, designed to easily adapt to any kind of ground surface.
