The Gilles.Tooling handlebar risers is a very interesting solution to adjust handlebar position. Has anyone tried it?

 

[Max Kool]

I have them, and I like them. The near infinite adjustability is a blessing when you're an ergonomic OCD like me..

And they free up room to put my GPS right there in the center of my bars.

very interesting handler bar raiser. more adjusting capacity.

They bring the handlebar closer to the riders body, right? In their webpage it says up to 25mm closer. Do they raise the bar at the same time? I mean can you opt
to both raise the bar and have it closer to the body at the same time?

 

[Max Kool]

Yes, and yes. Independently.

You can adjust the height with the enclosed spacers (and there's room for a little more). And you can adjust them forward/aft .

Great news...Thank you again.

It looks like the perfect choice for the Desert Sled to make it more touring or adventure prone...

I have had one on order from Pure Performance for a little while (apparently Gilles is way behind on production); it looks like it will be worth the wait!

When you install it please share your feedback with us...I am between Rox Risers and this one...

 

[Tamiam]

I actually have 2” black Rox risers on right now and I really like them, but will be replacing them when the Gilles risers come in. I’ll definitely let you know if I like them (or prefer the Rox).

 

[Max Kool]

I have them, I like them. Make sure you order the Gilles bar clamps with the speedo bracket.

Did you have the Rox Risers before the Gilles bar? How do they compare?

 

[Max Kool]

I did not. I'm a vain guy -I admit!- and the Rox risers look urmmmmmhhh odd. If I needed that I'd rather buy different handlebars.

These look useful ... I was about to get my clamps powder coated black to match the rest of the bike - these look like a better idea.
Max - did you install yourself? Easy?
I've seen a few youtube videos about swapping bars, so presume this is within a novices ability.

 

[Ian_H]

I've just ordered the Gilles Risers.. no mention of any delays yet ...

 

[Tamiam]

Did you get yours yet? Where did you order from? Still haven’t received mine :apologetic:

I was concerned about the “look” as well; I bought the Rox only to make do til my Gilles risers come in (I also swapped handlebars). They don’t look as odd as I thought they would, and are definitely more comfy for me. Still anxiously awaiting my Gilles risers though!

 

[Ian_H]

Ordered direct from Gilles Luxembourg.
No updates on arrival..

Received an email yesterday saying my risers were being shipped ...

Thanks for the update - I just emailed about my order; if it’s not shipping in the next day or so, I’m going to cancel and order from Gilles myself!
