FITMENT GUIDE
Choosing The Right Riser Height For Your Stance
Your riser height changes everything about how a bike feels in your hands — not just the look, but the reach, the leverage, and how your body sits over the front end. Get it wrong and every ride feels like a fight. Get it right and the bike disappears underneath you.
Here's a straight breakdown of what each rise actually does.
6" Rise
The lowest option in the lineup, built for riders who want a lower, more aggressive stance and tighter handlebar reach. This is the pick for tight cockpits, stunt setups, or anyone chasing a leaned-forward, attack riding position. Available straight or pullback, in chrome or black.
8" Rise
The middle ground. Enough lift to open up your shoulders and ease wrist strain on longer rides, without pushing you into a cruiser slouch. Most riders land here first — it's the rise that works whether you're commuting, touring, or building a show bike. Straight and pullback options, chrome or black.
10"–10.5" Rise
Maximum lift for riders who want bars up high — think apes-adjacent stance, maximum visual presence, and a relaxed arms-up seating position. This is where form meets function for riders building a statement bike. Straight and pullback, chrome or black.
Straight vs. Pullback
Straight risers put the bars directly above the mount point — clean, minimal, technical. Pullback risers angle the bars back toward you, shortening your reach and easing the stretch to the grips. Neither is "better" — it's about your torso length, your arm reach, and how far forward you want to be leaning into the wind.
Chrome vs. Black
Every rise comes in both finishes, CNC-machined from billet aluminum either way. Chrome pulls a hard-anodized shine that nods to classic Harley-Davidson chrome culture. Black is the modern, blacked-out build — matte, aggressive, disappears into a dark custom.
The Bottom Line
There's no universal "correct" rise. There's only the rise that matches how you actually ride. Measure your current reach, think about how you want your shoulders sitting, and pick the option that gets you there — not the one that just looks good in a photo.
