If your trying to decide what to order and not sure what height you want, it's easiest and cheapest to go with the short bars and a Powermad or other riser block for $20 then ordering the mid or high bars and go shorter.

I did as described above when I ordered my 16 Axys. I ordered the short bars and put a 1" riser on it after a couple of rides. It is perfect now. Risers are a lot cheaper than bars.

6'0" and ordered the high bars last year.
With the higher boards on the Axys I ended up putting another 1" riser on - Used the Polaris riser as it fit the outline of the adapter better on the factory bars..
Hardly ever use the seat 90% of my riding is standing-and could not take the hunched over I was receiving any-longer.

I am 6'1.5" and I am running the low bars with a 1" riser. I ran the high bars with a 1" riser on my 13. I rode with Tony Jenkins (Rasmussen Guide) last year and he showed me where my bars should be which is why I went lower. On my Axys, I am 2" lower than I was on the 13 Pro and it does work better in all conditions. Tall bars are a disadvantage in most conditions. It took a professional guide to show me where my bars needed to be. I have a 35"/36" sleeve length. No little T-Rex arms so you know.

My avatar is depicting standing upright on my Low Bar equipped sled. I am 5' 9" and there is a slight bend at my elbows. As stated above, you can always get a riser for not much money. Bars on the other hand, pretty expensive.:face-icon-small-coo

Sorry if this is off topic, but can you guys who use low bars stand and ride without hunching over?

Yes.... BUT I can't lockout my knees and be straight legged. I ride with my knees bent. Definitely a quadricep burner at first but I get used to it. I'm a hair over 6' with a 32" inseam (all torso)-- ride with the low bars
