Pro Taper ATV High vs Raptor on Rox?

[avc8130]

I currently have Pro Taper ATV "Low" bars mounted in Rox 2" pivoting risers. I recently rolled the risers back towards me to bring the bars closer, and I find it much more comfortable. Now I miss the height I lost rolling them back.

Does anyone have pics/reviews of ATV High and/or Raptor bend bars in 2" pivoting risers?

I'm wondering just how tall and swept the Raptors will feel compared to what I am used to. They are ~2" taller and have more sweep than what I am used to. The ATV High have similar sweep to my lows, but only 1" taller.

I have the medium one, if that can help.

I don't think so. The mediums are ~1/2" higher than my lows.

Are you running them in pivoting risers?

I have the ATV high on the KLR and the Raptor with the 2" Rox on the Tenere.

As far as sweep is concerned, I don't really 'notice' it. Yes, there is difference in how my wrists bend, but it's not very much.
The seat to handlebar reach is definitley longer on the Ten, so having a little more sweep helps that.

I can take some pics tonight if you want.

Pics would be great. I'm mostly curious how you have the risers positioned.

My hope is to wind up with a reach to the bars similar to stock, but with less sweep and a bit more height.

I was swapping them btw my WR & S10, but now I keep'em all the time.
I have custom clutch/break lines, and when I pull the pivots towards me (long road trips) , the lines are on the limit.

I think I posted these already....

On the 2in Rox ones:

Sorry i thought I had a bird view pic with the rox risers.

There is a spreadsheet on this forum that has all the handlebar dimensions including the stock handlebars. This information would answer many questions and help with the purchase of new handlebars.

I am thinking about my Raptors a 1/2" on each side. This should help with wrist fatigue.

I've seen the spreadsheet, but sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words and an experience worth 100k.

Agree 100%. But the numbers help narrow down the selection.

Unfortunately, I am pretty sure the numbers are WRONG.

The stock bars are shown in the drawing as having 82mm of rise. The ATV LOW I have are supposedly 95. I know for a fact they are lower than the stock bars.

Someone posted pics comparing ATV MIDS (108) to the stock bars and they looked pretty close in height.

Numbers only help if they are correct.

Hi, are these the low or mid height bars?
