6’3” guy here running Renthal 822 with 5mm risers. Recently ran no spacers and felt better sitting but worse standing, going to try some 5mm down pegs with no risers next. Something for the tall guys to remember, your arms are longer too so no need for ape hangers also if you have your bars in the correct roll the higher the bar the closer grip to peg distance becomes which can also feel cramped.

Go with the 10mm lowered pegs by raptor or FLO the extra 5mm will help you, your 6”3 you could use it, your the targeted crowd for lowered footpegs

I'm 6'2 and I go with the opposite approach. I find that when I run tall bars, or risers I get lazy and stand up too tall. If I keep the stock bar height it forces me to stay crouched in more of an attack position. I've never tried lowered pegs though. I'd be interested to find out how they feel.

mate, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge on this topic! I literally just changed my stock bars to the 827 fatbar. It’s unbelievable the difference it makes. To me they feel really wide compared to the stock bars. I was struggling at first on my oval track to get used to them and then I went on the motocross track and was like, oh yeah! now I get it. They felt so much more stable in corners and easier to initiate the lean.

This was really insightful. I’ve realized that my discomfort while standing wasn’t actually a bar bend/height issue, but that my bars are rolled too far back from neutral from the forks. 😂 I feel the ease of weighting the front tire cut down by half once I tweaked it, thank you.

In regards to handlebar roll: If you leave the clamps loose and grip the bar while in your riding position the bars will rotate to match the angle of your grip. Changing the roll has an effect similar to moving the clamp forward/reverse. I don’t know the proper terminology, but I call it ark/swing. For example, a bmx bike has a different ark/swing than a dirt bike, and that’s different than a standard street bike. I like the back of my bar to align with the back of the stem and I set the roll as described above. I’ve found this is really nice if you have more that one dirt bike. With the same bar bend and install parameters it makes it easier to change bikes. Just remember: The Good Book says you can only have one wife. It doesn’t say anything about how many motorcycles you can have.

Since I started riding and racing in late 1989 I found that the WORST bend is the stock Yamaha "YZ" bend. Back then I rode a friend's CR125 and found that the Honda (CR High) bent felt a LOT better. My first Renthals (7/8ths) that I put on my 1990 YZ125 felt great. I run them rolled back towards me a bit, and they have never let me down. My current ride that I got from my buddy last year is a 2006 YZ125 with a 2008 YZ250f front end on it, it had ProTaper Carmichael bend bars (IIRC, it is snowing out as I type this so I'm not keen on going to the shed to check) and they were ok, but still felt odd to me. I switched to Renthal Fat Bars in CR Hi and the difference was amazing. I am 5'9", average build, average arm length and 32" inseam. The trick I use to set up how far to roll the bars is simple, and has worked well for other riders I suggested it to. It is as follows: With the bike on a stand, sit on the bike in the neutral seating position, feet on the pegs. Hold both arms out horizontal, palms down and fingers open. With eyes closed, drop you arms down without bending your elbows. Your hands should land on the grips with your palms centered without needing to shift your palms to close around the grip. Adjust the bars forwards or back to get them lined up that way and it will work great. Of course, everyone is different so that initial setup may not work the best for you, but it does give a good starting point. Tweak the roll to suit what feels best to you. Proper bar setup, including bend choice, width, and roll will result in more comfort, better control and less arm pump (assuming you also grip mainly with your legs and not your hands, and ride "loose" , not all tensed up. )

@@lexprue Yeah the stock bars and the YZ bend are not comfortable at all. For all the years I've been around racing, I could count on one hand the number of YZ/YZF owners who kept the YZ bend beyond one or two rides. Virtually everyone changed the bars before the first ride. Maybe Yamaha should get the hint on the YZ/YZF series bikes and provide a voucher or coupon for new owners to buy the bars of their choice, and send the bikes with no bars at all lol.

Thank you for a great video! I´m quite short guy around 175 cm (5ft 9in) but I have long lower parts of my legs (from ankle to knee) and short thighs for my height. Then my upper body is also "from a longer body" so my reach is longer vs. my total height. Long hands etc. So I have +30 mm taller and hard seats in my bikes so it´s easier for me to switch between standing and sitting position without the need to "squat" as much. This is very good setup for me. I have now Renthal Twinwall 999 low handlebar in mx bike Husqvarna TC 250 2018 and same bend but a taller Renthal Twinwall 997 in my enduro bike Husqvarna TE 250 2015. 999 is also a bit wider than 997. It also depends of the bike how tall handlebar mounting position it is originally in that bike. I had these handlebars swithed like this and it´s now much better for both bikes. Before I had the taller 997 in TC 250 and the lower 999 in TE 250. It felt like 997 in TC 250 was too high and 999 in TE 250 was too low. But now it´s perfect for me. It´s also very important for me to have Pro Grip 788 narrow grips as I have short fingers.

I’m 6’1 and just started running reed/windham bend from pro taper. I was under same impression taller guy taller bars but it made me for more unstable. My seat is about 5-10 mm lower than stock that made a huge difference for myself for my urge to wanting to feel always in the motorcycle and part of it. So in a sense puts me lower in the bike and makes me feel more stable and less of a teeter totter.

Regarding @15:00 Actually it's really easy to figure out if the tips of the bar are going to "upsweep" or not. It's the difference between height ("B") and rise ("C")....ex.....if you have a bar with a height of 90mm, and rise of 70mm (the "B" and "C" measurement in the tool) that is a difference of 20mm between the two therefor that bar will have little upsweep to the ends....conversely, a bar with a height of 90mm but rise of just 50mm (40mm difference) that bar will have much MORE upsweep to the ends of the bar (which also kicks the elbows out more). To summarize, the greater the distance between height and rise, the MORE upsweep the ends of the bar will have, the closer those numbers become, the "flatter" the ends will be.

Yup super lanky 6’3 here. I have found tall bars to be horrible, completely throws off my attack position. Whenever I see tall guys running ape hangers I try to talk to them about it. Made me stand up too tall and vertical, increases fatigue and arm pump, not to mention just put me in a bad position on the bike. Been running 996s for years, just switched from Yamaha to ktm, now the 996s feel a little tall. Gotta ride the new bike more and get used to the new ergos. Biggest thing for tall guys in my opinion is sweep, less sweep = more open cockpit.

Contrary to what many people believe, a crossbar actually makes the handlebar weaker and the only purpose of a crossbar is to add rigidity and possibly help with vibration. Handlebars without a crossbar have more of a flex yield or "give" compared to a handlebar with a cross bar, meaning if you fall and the crossbar-less handlebar will flex further and return to its original state, where a handlebar with a crossbar reduces the flex yield and creates a leverage point that casues bending and even braking/snapping more often due to the handlebar not having any "give". This is a big reason why Roger Decoster does not allow any of his riders to use a handlebar with a crossbar.
