We are proud to announce that bikepackingbaja.com, one of the leading reference sites for bikepackers, has reviewed our BIRI, calling it one of the smartest and most useful tools ever created for bikepacking!
The BIRI portable bike stand was tested in one of the most demanding terrains in the world: Baja, the famous desert peninsula known for its extreme climate, sandy ground, and the lack of secure support options for bicycles.
Bikepacking Baja praised our lightweight bike stand, calling it:
“A simple, durable, and incredibly effective telescoping bike stand, even in deep sand.”
They highlighted how BIRI offers stability and security even when carrying heavy loads, thanks to its high mounting point (under the saddle) and the clever hand brake system, which locks the bike and prevents any unwanted movement.
An innovative solution, 100% #MadeInItaly.
Why is the BIRI stand essential in Baja?
According to the Bikepacking Baja team, riders tackling the Baja Divide or similar routes face major challenges:
• Ground covered in thorns and flexible bushes
• Scarcity of walls or fences to lean against
• Sudden strong gusts of wind
• Heavily loaded bikes due to extra water supplies needed for survival
In such tough conditions, placing your bike on the ground or leaning it against unreliable supports isn’t a real option.
That’s why, as they wrote:
“We strongly recommend bringing a BIRI bike stand to Baja — it’s probably more useful there than anywhere else in the world!”
With BIRI, every bikepacker can rely on themselves alone: wherever you are, you’ll always have a stable, secure base ready in seconds.
The Two BIRI Versions:
BIRI PRO: made of carbon fiber, weighs only 130 g, supports up to 100 kg of load, ideal even in extreme temperatures.
BIRI ADVANCED: made of aluminum, weighs 170 g, perfect for those looking for strength and a more affordable price.
Both versions measure just 50 cm when closed and extend up to 110 cm — perfect for any kind of adventure.
Additionally, BIRI can be used as a minimalist tent pole or even as a protection tool against animals during your journey.
A huge thanks to Bikepacking Baja for recognizing the effectiveness of our BIRI portable bike stand.
Designed in Italy, tested in the world’s most extreme terrains: BIRI is the ideal companion for every true two-wheel traveler.
