When you are looking at handle bars what does it mean when the rise of the handle bar is 7" or 4".Thanks i was on a website and i was at the parts section and i was looking at the handle bars and it said the rise was 7" and the other handlebar had a 4" rise

That's how tall they are, from the stem to the grips.
