Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a riser and a barback? A standard riser only raises the handlebars. A barback raises and pulls them rearward, reducing reach and improving comfort — particularly beneficial on larger adventure and touring bikes.
Will I need longer cables after fitting? Possibly. With 32mm of rise and 20mm of rearward offset, longer brake lines, cables, or wiring extensions may be required depending on your bike's existing setup.
Is hardware included? Yes. The kit includes bar backs, handlebar clamps, mounting hardware, and installation instructions.
