Product code: ESC-RAVAL
A slim yet very strong UHPC concrete bike stand – two bicycles can be locked at three points.
Raval (2013) responds to the new urban mobility needs of large cities and reinvents the classic bike stand using ultra-high-performance concrete. It allows two bicycles to be secured at three points, and its triangular section with an internal stainless steel frame increases resistance to impact and bending. The name refers to Barcelona's Raval neighbourhood.

Streets, squares, shopping centres, schools and offices – wherever durable, space-saving bike parking is needed.
Plan the spacing of a row of stands so that both bicycles on each stand fit comfortably without obstructing each other.
First decide how many bikes need to be parked and where the rack will stand – outdoors on paving or indoors against a wall. Then consider whether it is important to lock the bike frame: U-shaped hoops are best for this. Finally, choose the material and colour to suit the surroundings.
Calculate based on peak season, when there are the most bikes, and leave some spare capacity. Some racks are made with different numbers of spaces or are modular, so spaces can be added later. Double-sided racks allow bikes to be parked on both sides and save space.
Most racks are bolted into firm paving with anchors, and some models can be set in concrete. Wall-mounted holders are fixed to the wall with anchors. For many models, anchors are included – this is stated in the product's technical data.
Yes. In this category you will find racks and wall-mounted holders designed for wider tyres and heavier bikes, as well as an e-bike station with a charging socket. The permitted tyre width or wheel gap for each model is stated in the product description. Compare it with your bike's tyres before buying.
Hot-dip galvanised and powder-coated steel is corrosion-resistant and lets you choose a colour. Stainless steel is unpainted, keeps its shiny look for a long time and suits prestigious locations. Both options are suitable for year-round outdoor use.
It is safest to lock the bike by the frame, not just the wheel – U-shaped hoops and similar racks are designed for this. Models with protective rubber keep the bike's paintwork free of scratches. Place the rack in a clearly visible and well-lit location.
Wall-mounted holders come in handy in bike rooms, garages and basements, where floor space is limited. A bike hung vertically takes up less space, and swivelling holders allow bikes to be placed closer together. Note the minimum room height stated in the description.
