New Riser handlebars

[Rocky_DH]

Just trying to get some opinions on different risers for dh racing and what are the advantages of bigger rise or smaller, both, money no option and value for money

[cdfeto]

You dont want them too high, usually people run 1'", sometimes 2" of rise. Protapers seem to be very popular, along with Deity, Easton make some nice ones (light too).

i run the new deity dirty 30's and they are nice keeps your weight nice and low so it corners better but to each their own i suppose

Easton DH monkey lite. very nice. dont get flat for dh tho. lower helps you take corners better iv herd.

Low & Wide seems to be the trend...I don't ride DH (yet) but I can name most of the popular models...

Sunline V1 and from what I hear they're bringing out a wider version this year.
Race Face Diabolus are now coming in 1/2" rise with their new models
Easton has always been popular
Funn Fat Boy and other models probably all thanks to Sam Hill:)
Azonic B52
FSA Gravity Light
Answer Protaper
Truvativ Holzefeller / Hussefelt
Burgtec Ride Wide (pretty expensive but light for the size)
Syncros Bulk / Gain
SICusa
Deity

They all vary in rise / sweep so it's really a matter of finding one that's comfortable for you!
Not sure if it's true that Answer have a patent on the 8 n 4 sweep angles so others are just variations of that like 9 n 5 or 8 n 5 and also 9 n 4 in some cases.

That's a lot of good bars to choose from, and probably even more!
