Buyer’s Guide
The main reason to invest in a chock is transport.
Off-roaders, dirt bikers and trials riders use a chock bolted to a trailer bed for transporting their bikes to their terrain of choice.
But, having a chock can be a nice option for someone with limited storage space.
Rather than having to lift the bike up onto the centre stand (a struggle for smaller people or those with mobility problems), a chock lets you roll your bike into a secure standing position.
This is also useful for light maintenance work, although a paddock stand is generally a better option for working on your motorbike.
Wheel Size
The chocks on our list are all adjustable, usually inside a three inch range (though some options have a wider range).
Check your manufacturer’s website or owner’s manual to confirm your wheel size. Then make sure it’s supported by the chock you order.
Most bikes will be supported by most chocks. Typically, it’s the narrow tires of some classic bikes that might not fit.
Bike Weight
Once rolled onto the chock, the front wheel can’t turn from side to side, and the wide base of the unit stops any vertical rocking of the bike.
Most chocks will be permanently fixed to a concrete floor or trailer so ensure your fixings are rated for your bike weight. (Note: you will need to buy fixings separately.)
Front Or Rear
Whether you buy a front or rear chock depends on how accessible it will be once installed.
If space is tight, it might be easier to wheel your bike into place with a front chock.
Fixings
All the motorcycle chocks on our list can be fixed to either a trailer, van or concrete floor, but none ship with the hardware required.
Only those with rubber feet and a stabilization bar (like the Sealey FPS70 or Ryde Adjustable) can be used free standing without being bolted in place.
Portability/Weight
Only the units with rubber feet and a wide stabilization bar are suitable for freestanding use.
These units are fairly portable and can be carried in and out of your garage for maintenance or motorbike cleaning.
A chock should only ever be used for transportation once it’s been bolted down to your van or trailer.
Chocks on our list range from 4.5kg to 15kg in weight.
Roll On Locking
All the chocks on our list feature a roll on locking system.
An adjustable pivoting wheel cradle directs the bike into position and locks in place, using the bike’s weight.
Conclusion
If you just need a chock to bolt to your can or trailer, you might be happy with the cheaper options on our list.
If you want something that will double up for freestanding use, some of the more premium items will be a better fit.
