I like a good 2" bar on my trail bike. I remember this topic a while back about y'all doods wanting lower rise bars and just wanted to revisit it a bit. I'm wondering if I'm gonna like the rise on my Tioga bars for the bikes intended design.
I notice shredders like Lacondeguy using what looks like 3" rise bars. Dirt jump bars in general are pretty dang tall. (of course there are exceptions) DMR wing has a cross bar like a mini-BMX, and it's 3". Is this for more room to breathe on tailwhip type stuff? Nothing will answer this question for me better than experimentation, so I'm gonna ride it a bit the way it is and see how I like it, but just wanted to know if there's a theory on super-hi-rise bars for urban/DJ.
