Bar Risers

[fenderworks]

anybody using bar risers?

pro's/cons?

looking for a little bit more comfort on my xtrainer. dont need to replace handlebars yet, so i was thinking some low cost bar risers from RMATV MC

I've ran them on a previous bike, added comfort for standing. Bit of a downside sitting.

Now that im getting more into hard enduro type riding, I feel like they are a bit detrimental to correct body position.

At the same time, there's much faster guys than me running them I'm sure.

The XT for me was hard to stay standing especially a hill. I moved mounts to front position and fitted risers maybe 35mm. Now I can stand easy which helps greatly.

thanks for the responses. i think i will give them a try. i do have handlebars in the most front position, 6'1" didnt seem to help that much. but will try them and maybe that would help in the standing position.
seated position....no issues.

thanks

On my '22 Xtrainer, I installed a Scotts Steering Stabilizer along with the BRP rubber sub-mount. This raised the bars approximately 1" to 1.5". I'm 5" 7" tall. Sitting or standing, I'm happy with the set-up.
