Company History
Under the Standbike name, small European workshops produced purpose-built frames, rear sets, cages, and balance-friendly subframes for stunt riders. The gear is about repeatability and safety: predictable geometry for highchairs and circles, strong mounting points for crash cages, and hardware that survives repeated drops. Documentation—bolt torques, fitment notes, and geometry tables—helps riders set up bikes consistently. Some Standbike projects evolved into complete show machines, but the core market remained athletes who treat motorcycles as tools for choreography. Historically, Standbike highlights a niche where engineering serves athletic expression, making extreme control possible while keeping risk within practiced bounds.
