Bar Rise

[Mikerb]

Hi
Can anyone tell me the bar rise on a stock MY19 Levo Comp.....or how to measure it. I am talking rise in mm not sweep. The reason is I am thinking of trying a higher rise bar to move my balance slightly further back on the bike and lighten the front wheel a little. I am looking at either Renthal Fat bar v2 or Nukeproof Horizon (both ally)

I believe it is 27mm

I have gone for 38mm rise 780 Nukeproof Horizon bar in red. Apart from the additional rise the Nukeproof is 7075 ally compared to 6061 for the Spesh standard bar so lighter and stronger and more corrosion resistant.

Dartmoor, NS, Spank, gusset and a few other dirt jump/slope orientated mtb companies also make actual high rise (upto 90mm rise) bars.
They're really for dirt jump/street riders and replicate the sort of bar position you'd find on a BMX when fitted to short travel hardtail jump bikes. I wouldn't ever put one on a normal FS mtb though as it'd pretty much ruin the handling for all round riding.

While I'm being helpful you might want to remove that bag from your dropper before it ends up in your seat stays dragged in by your rear tyre when dropped or scratches the stanchion/ruins the seal head
