Remember these bikes are made to win races - big hefty side stands do not win races!
Just lean it against whatever you find Smile. I spent some time on my CCM commuting, do the shopping etc with no stand and managed fine.

Replace it with a trail tech stand (they do kits on there uk site), or improve the stock one like l did after mine snapped.

Oh and my 690 enduro stand has been fine and seems very robust so far - but then it's a road bike not a competition enduro bike Smile.
