Choosing the Right Riser Height and Style
Comfort Starts with Correct Positioning
Your handlebar risers play a huge role in how comfortable your bike feels — they determine the height, reach, and overall ergonomics of your riding position. Too low, and you’ll find yourself leaning forward with unnecessary strain on your wrists and back. Too high, and you may lose precision and control. The right riser height keeps your arms in a relaxed, natural position, allowing for confident steering and less fatigue on longer rides. That’s why upgrading to properly sized CNC-machined risers from BarCraft Handlebars can completely transform the way your bike feels and handles.
Style Meets Function
Risers aren’t just functional — they’re also one of the most visually defining elements of your cockpit. Short, aggressive risers & bars pair perfectly with performance-oriented bikes, giving a tight, compact stance that suits stunt and street riders. Taller bars & risers, on the other hand, create a more upright position ideal for cruising or touring setups. BarCraft’s range of riser heights and styles lets you customise your bike to match both your riding style and aesthetic — from low-profile black finishes to polished, show-quality aluminium. No matter your preference, every riser is engineered for strength, safety, and visual appeal.
Match Your Bars, Match Your Ride
Selecting the right riser also depends on the type of handlebar you run. Pair tall risers with short “Moto” bars for a high-performance stunt-bike look, or go for mid-height risers to bring comfort and control into balance. BarCraft risers are designed for compatibility across a wide range of bars and setups, giving you flexibility without the need for cable extensions or complex modifications. With the right combination, you’ll achieve both the look and feel you’re chasing — solid, stylish, and unmistakably yours.
Whether you’re chasing performance, comfort, or just a cleaner aesthetic, choosing the right riser height and style is key to unlocking your bike’s full potential. BarCraft Handlebars gives you precision-engineered options built to perform — because your setup should be as strong and individual as your ride
