Trying The Latest MTB Trend! | Are High-Rise Bars The Next Big Thing?

When Dakotah Norton showed up to the ‪@uci_mtbworldseries‬ Downhill World Cup with 75mm riser bars, it caused some controversy. Even after Dakotah's explanation, many of us were still on the fence about them. To see if they're worth the hype, Neil Donoghue decided to test some high-rise bars at Dyfi Bike Park. Is this setup the future, or is it just another trend waiting to fade away?
