Tall men have a difficult time finding a comfortable\u00a0riding\u00a0position. Rotating your bars sometimes is not enough. You might consider getting a pair of bar risers with a different-shaped handlebar, such as the ones shown below.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a tall rider, I can feel your pain. I am 6\u20192 inches tall. Not the tallest, but not the shortest. It has been a constant struggle to find the perfect handlebar setup for my riding comfort.<\/span><\/p>\n

A damaged lower back has also affected me, and I\u2019ve popped the L4-L5 lower spine disc, which makes standing up and leaning forward. (It\u2019s the same feeling when I wash dishes in the sink \u2013 which is why I have to find the right handlebar setup for my tall riding style.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have tried a variety of bars and footpegs and lever positions, bar risers, footpegs, seat heights, and lever positions. After a lot of trial and error, I determined the best handlebars for dirt\u00a0bikes\u00a0for tall\u00a0riders.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, let\u2019s be clear: simply changing your stock bars to Pro Tapers or Rentals will not change your bar height. Also, a thicker bar won\u2019t affect your ride height. Don\u2019t be confused if you look at the measurements around the bar diameter. For example, 7\/8\u2033 and 1 1\/8\u2033 are simply the thicknesses of the bars, not the height.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pay attention to the height, rise, sweep, and other details related to the angles and taper.<\/span><\/p>\n
