I like the looks of the bars. It’s all about functionality and comfort for me. As an old BMX’er, I prefer higher rise bars. 80 is good but 100 rise is even better, but that’s just my view, up to rider preference!
I’ve seen some mountain bikes with the cross bar BMX style bars too and I’ve always wondered how they would feel. I prefer the higher rise too. I thought the sweep or angle might affect performance but it actually felt (to me) like I was more behind or inside the bike versus on top and leaning forward.
Having started in BMX then moving over to the Motocross world I never could get used to being hunched over when I ride a MTB. I installed some high riser bars an few years ago and now it feels normal to me. Love it.
Hey thanks for the vid. I just got a bar with a 40mm rise. I’m replacing a 20mm rise bar. A change was sparked also because of back soreness. I have to ride to a riser bar was in order. So how was riding it? Did it make a difference???
Yes indeed! I was worried about losing performance but it still felt aggressive. My back issues disappeared. I now run a 40mm rise and it’s perfect. These were 60 rise and honestly I couldn’t get over “the look”. The 40mm rise I’ve discovered is the sweet spot for me. Thanks for watching
Why did you choose riser handlebars and not a riser stem, that would give you the height, but the feel of your old 800 wide handlebars you are used to? I like the look of the new handlebars you have, it looks more motocross style.
I love the stem and the length, just wanted to try some risers due to lower back pain. It helped some of my friends that are taller riders so I went with the riser bars.
👍tried higher risers only 38mm from 25mm🤔but i lost the traction on the front end😅i think its all about very small adjustments, or it fucks with the handling😅👍
Yes 100% that’s why I had to try it. And lower back pain is nonexistent now🤙🏻 and I was afraid it might take away from performance…it did not, I actually feel more comfortable with the bars, more aggressive
Most probably is the shipping. Amazon charging £72 and that'll be the shipping like you said. I actually didn't think of the shipping till you mentioned it. But £30 to £35 for shipping is still pricey.
I’m not the best at jumps but the bars do feel like I have more control, like I’m “inside” of the bike vs. “on top” of it, if that makes sense. I love the position, it’s very comfortable.
Hi Doug, have the same bars for the same reason and I love them especially going down steep grades. Have a question, I’ve been researching a replacement for the rockstar monitor,it too small and not bright enough. Do you or anyone else know of another monitor that will work with the Sonders controller ?
There are definitely different monitors but I like the placement of this one. I actually read your comment while on a ride today trying out the new bars. I mentioned your question in the video (hope you don’t mind) but video should be out tomorrow morning at 7am. I answer your question and give you my take on the monitor.👍🏻
Yeah I’m working on it now, sometimes it freezes up on the download 😭 it will be up shortly 👍🏻thank you for watching, commenting, sharing, subscribing…all that good stuff
I love my 80mm rise deity bars!

I just got a soecialized rockhopper. Have had 3 level fusion and the high bars are king

Same here, also riding dirt bikes the risers feel more comfortable to me.
How they perform out of the saddle is the real test.
I’m trying them this Friday. I’ll definitely have a review on them.
was this ride review posted?

Yeah true, I just got some 40mm risers for my DH bike and have yet to try them. Hopefully they work out.
They look good! Goes well with ebikes
Thanks. They do look “moto”

Yes. It’s very comfortable
Is that 50mm rise or 80mm?

Flat bars will always be the best...At least for xc hardtails...
Yeah I can see you wanting your weight over the front end especially on climbs, but these risers are more comfortable for my type of riding
Ive just fitted a stem riser to my MTB i should of just fitted high rise bars
I guess it’s personal choice, as long as you like the back sweep and width of your bars.
Bars look much better tho.
Does the bar help with a back issue?
Yes 100% that’s why I had to try it. And lower back pain is nonexistent now🤙🏻 and I was afraid it might take away from performance…it did not, I actually feel more comfortable with the bars, more aggressive
If you have lower back pain, definitely!
These bars in the uk cost £72, ridiculous how expensive they got for the uk area.
Damn! Is it the shipping? I’d send you some from 🇺🇸
Most probably is the shipping. Amazon charging £72 and that'll be the shipping like you said. I actually didn't think of the shipping till you mentioned it. But £30 to £35 for shipping is still pricey.
Easy to jump and drop?
I’m not the best at jumps but the bars do feel like I have more control, like I’m “inside” of the bike vs. “on top” of it, if that makes sense. I love the position, it’s very comfortable.
🇬🇧Great Video Doug! Nice bars man
I hope I like them. Thanks Roger
