Best Motorcycle Wheel Chocks for Securing What's Important
Chock it up
Motorcycle wheel chocks can come in handy for a variety of purposes whether it be in your garage, truck, or trailer. Not only do they allow you to store the bike upright which saves space, they’re also great to use while working on your motorcycle or to more securely fasten your bike during transport. Wheel chocks come in a variety of materials, sizes, and styles. There are a few things you’ll want to consider when purchasing a wheel chock.
First, what kind of motorcycle will you be storing? Wheel sizes and fender placement vary quite a bit between dirtbikes, sportbikes, and cruisers. Aside from your motorcycle’s specifics, where you plan to use the wheel chock will play a part in your buying decision too. If you’re planning to simply use a wheel chock in your garage, anti-corrosion coatings may not factor into your decision as much as it would if you were planning to mount one in your truck bed. You’ll also want to decide whether you want the stand bolted down or plan to use it in a variety of locations. To make your decision easier we’ve put together a list of some of the best wheel chocks on the market below.

1. Editor's pick: Condor Pit Stop
This product is a fully adjustable wheel locking chock system that securely supports your motorcycle in an upright position. It can be placed on almost any surface from your concrete garage floor, asphalt driveway, grass, or even sand and gravel, and it will still keep your bike standing straight up. After adjusting to accommodate your wheel size, you just roll it onto the locking cradle until the wheel touches the upright, and the bike is locked in place. The Condor Pit Stop will work on front and rear tires ranging from 14 to 22 inches. Thanks to its aluminum construction the Pit Stop wheel chock weighs only 30 pounds and folds for easy storage. Condor claims its stand is capable of holding machines up to 3,000 lbs. The frame is also pre-drilled for easy mounting.

FAQ
How to use a motorcycle wheel chock?
Most motorcycle wheel chocks are easy to use. You simply roll the front wheel of your motorcycle into the secured chock and that’s it. Some designs, like the Condor chock seen above, have pivoting trays to more securely hold your motorcycle once it is all the way into the chock. Other designs, like the Pit Posse chock, are meant to be bolted to the floor of a trailer or garage to ensure the motorcycle will be safely supported.
How does a motorcycle wheel chock work?
A motorcycle wheel chock works by securely holding the front wheel of a motorcycle in order to store or transport the machine upright. For transporting motorcycles with a wheel chock, we still recommend using tie-downs to secure your motorcycle in addition to the wheel chock.
What are the differences between a motorcycle wheel chock and a motorcycle stand?
Motorcycle stands serve a similar purpose but are usually not meant to be permanently attached to floors or trailers. Motorcycle stands are also available for front and rear wheels as their method of holding the motorcycle is different compared to wheel chocks. Riders often use motorcycle stands for maintenance at home or trackside as they make wheel removal possible due to how the stand holds the motorcycle.

This isn't a article reviewing these chocks, they are Press Releases. I know that because i worked for Condor and wrote the words in this so-called review. This is a sales pitch for motorcycle.com to sell products. And Condor is so hard up for sales, you can always get a better deal because they undercut their own dealers.
I tried the MAXX/ExtremeMAXX, but the brake rotors on my SVTC made significant contact with the hoop. Then I bought the chock in the same style as the EGO; it locked the bike in beautifully, but I was shammed into getting a Condor “...because why would you use a $75 chock to secure a $24k bike? Fool!” So I bought a Condor 2000. Although the steel is appreciably thicker, the 130/70-18 front wheel does not sit nearly as securely in the front wedge and the straps require far more tension to keep the bike upright in travel. My Condor did not come with the front bar, as seen on the Pit Boss model, so I also lost that tie down option. Edit: If I could do it all over again, I’d attempt to try out the Wheel Dock with the step-on release, not reviews here?
