Paddock Stand vs. Paddock Ramp: What’s the Difference?

These two terms get used interchangeably, but they describe fundamentally different pieces of equipment.

A paddock stand works under the swingarm or rear axle and lifts the rear wheel off the ground. It is ideal for maintenance tasks but not for leaving unattended for weeks.

A paddock ramp is a different concept. The wheel rolls into a chock and the bike stands on both tyres, fully supported, perfectly upright, and stable enough to leave indefinitely.

For storage, a paddock ramp wins without contest. For track day use, you typically need both.

The CaVa Racing ramp is designed specifically for storage and display.
