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 <\/p>\n Daily Bikers \u2013 Your First BLOG for improving your riding quality, skill, satisfaction, and enjoyment.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/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 <\/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 <\/p>\n <\/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 <\/p>\n These are the specs of my stock bars for KTM 300 EXC.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Play with the rotation of your levers and bars. This is the first thing you can do without spending a dime. You may feel hunching forward if you have rotated your bars too much, and this will make you stand taller.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If this is the case, you can move your bars forward a few clicks until you feel comfortable and natural in your standing position.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Riders over 6\u2032 tall set their bars parallel to your forks or slightly forward if they are higher.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Adjusting your handlebars to make them more comfortable for your height should also be done to your levers. You can adjust the rotation of your bars by taking your\u00a0bike\u00a0out for a spin. Pay attention to how your bike and bars feel when seated or standing.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Enduro riders do a lot of standing, and I prefer a slightly forward angle on the bars and the levers just below neutral. I ride with a pair of bar risers, and I can recommend some of my favorites for you to try.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The bar measurements alone will significantly differ between the Pro Taper Windham\/ Carmichael bend or the Renthal RC High. These bars will make a significant difference over the stock bars, and you\u2019ll notice it immediately after they are installed.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pro Taper was the first company to create handlebars that didn\u2019t have crossbars. This design aims to create handlebars for dirt bikes<\/a> that can outlast the competition in terms of durability and flexibility without sacrificing strength.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n They can absorb impact and flex, which is crucial for raiders. The contour bars are 20% lighter than the other bars and 40% stronger than the rest.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n These bars provide an impressive height change to stock bars and give you a completely different feeling. It may take some time to get used to it. Once you get the setup down, you will be happier riding with lower stock bars. Pro Taper Windham bend\u00a0dirt bike<\/a>\u00a0bar bars have received positive reviews from riders who are over 6\u20192 or 6\u20193.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Features:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Let\u2019s start our search for the best handlebars to fit tall riders. Renthal RC high bars have the highest bars available. You can choose between a fat bar of 1 1\/8\u2032 and a thin bar of 7\/8\u2032. This will not affect your ride height, but it is more personal.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The bars are tapered to 7\/8\u2032 at the ends, allowing for universal grips. You may be looking for new grips.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Renthal Fatbar eliminates the need to use a cross-brace. This gives the bars a little more flexibility and absorbs impact better than smaller 7\/8\u2032 bars. Flex is claimed to increase rider comfort and reduce fatigue, and it is made from 7010 T6 aluminum, which absorbs vibration well.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n These bars have a remarkable height and rise of 120mm & 84mm, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Features:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nSetup Dirt bike handlebars for tall riders<\/span><\/h2>\n
