By dropping the centre stand down onto the MAT, a bike can be balanced with both wheels off the ground, allowing it to be rotated quickly and easily.

With Spring just around the corner, and treasured bikes and scooters across the UK being brought out of the garage or shed ready for the new season, owners will be pleased to hear that British Turntable has introduced a new, larger version of the MAT, the handy device that makes manoeuvring a two-wheeled vehicle in a confined area quicker and easier.

The MAT 450 builds on this success of the original MAT 350 turntable, which has been going strong since its launch almost five years ago and has attracted such favourable comments as "The MAT is superb! It makes turning the bike child's play"; "I'm just over 8 stone and nearly 60 years old, yet the MAT lets me turn my ST1100 Pan-European with ease, even when full of petrol"; "Superb piece of kit - a must, surely for anyone not living in a mansion with drive-through access."

At 45cm in diameter the MAT 450 will enable owners of bikes with a wider span centre stand to take advantage of the convenience it offers. Designed for bikes up to 350kg in weight (300kg for the MAT 350), it requires very little effort to operate. By dropping the stand down onto the MAT the bike can be balanced with both wheels off the ground, allowing it to be rotated to the required point without the need for multi-point turns.

An added benefit of the MAT is that it is designed and manufactured by the UK's leading manufacturer of display and industrial turntables, whose successful 40 years of production has earned them an excellent reputation for quality and product integrity.

The success of the MAT 350 has meant that British Turntable has been able to maintain its launch price of £49.45, including VAT and delivery to UK addresses. The new MAT 450, at a UK delivered price of £72.50 including VAT and delivery, is equally good value.
