Giant Reign E+ 2023 kick stand

Hey guys, I need a kickstand for my Giant Reign, dealer who sold me the bike didn't want me to put one on but I think I want one, any suggestions?
Cheers

I think I am going to agree with your dealer. With those small aluminum chain stays you have a fair chance of crushing a tube and ruining your frame. Without a dedicated hard point for mounting a kickstand you are relegated with using a clamp on kickstand.
Having said that… If you must get a kickstand get one with multiple mounting points and be very careful not to stress the frame tubes when installing it.

Ok that makes sense, thanks for that. Dealer didn't really explain why.
