Dealing with a bit of a shoulder injury so wanting to get a KTM lift stand for my KTM SX-F FE 450. I generally use the Matrix KTM stand as like the look of matching stand. But need a little help so curious if the KTM lift stand is good and good for a 450.
As always, thanks for any input.

Are you referring to this? I bought one for this season and it is probably the most durable lift stand that i have had. Great stand!

I have the stand above and like it. The only issue I have with it is the plastic caps on the bottom slide off. It'll be just fine for a 450 or even larger bikes.

I've owned the exact same stand pictured above for 5+ years. I've had to snug the hardware up once but, other than that it has worked great.

I have a buddy that was using one of those and he was not a fan. he ended up getting one of these on my suggestion. I have two of them and they are great. Even if I went back to a 2-stroke 250 I'd still use one

Strangely enough the SX/EXC model of this stand is too high and won't fit under my FE even in the down position.
Strange. The only way to get it on stand is lift it a bit, which defeats purpose. They make a super Moto model which is lower but strange this doesn't fit. Bike feels right to me but maybe it's a tad lower than original. Not sure.

I have had the "Power Lift" stand since January, they are great for us old guys.

Yeah, problem is I've already bought the KTM stand and will have to pay to ship it back. Oh well. Strange it's so high in down position. Bike feels right, height wise.
