Minoura RS-1600 TRIPOD Folding Repair Stand

RS-1500 was originally developed to be the lightest weight workstand in the world. Our first priority was making "2.5 kgs" happen, therefore, the stability was not enough, especially when mounting heavy bike, and it was not durable enough to do heavy jobs. So RS-1500 was only for road bikes and XC bikes actually.

RS-1600 is the modified model by replanting the much heavier tripod which was originally adopted on RS-6000 heavy-duty workstand (discontinued model). With this modification, the total durability has been increased 3 times.

The new tripod has thicker tubing and each leg is reinforced by its own sub arm.
And we added one more quick lever to lock the tripod opening.

The upper part of RS-1600 is exactly same to RS-1500. You can do the maintenance job on either side without changing your standing position. The arm is angle adjustable by changing the pin insertion hole.

Standard clamp jaws type workstand may break the sensitive frame with thin material, and it cannot clamp the aero type seat-post and monocoque carbon frame.
RS-1600 is still the considerable workstand for those special bikes.
