I wish they would tell u the differences. Is the mid the height that was standard on the pro the last few years?

That's what I was wondering too? It says low = 5", mid = 6", and tall = 7". I run the stock pro tapers on my 13 pro with a 1" riser block. It would be nice to get talls and then not have to use riser block.

They said in the podcast the mid is the same height as the 15 pro.

also keep in mind they moved the running boards up too, so thats gonna require taller bars to achieve the same bar height as before. I wish they would give measurements from the boards to the bars. Eric

In 15 didn't they have 2 bar height choices? If that is the case is the mid the same height as the 13 or 14?

It also seems that adding a bar pad was too expensive this year.

I get the various height options...but why narrower? This eludes me as to why there would be ANY benefit, in fact, I would think it would offer somewhat less control/leverage. Enlighten me.

Way more control in a sidehill with narrower bars.

Narrower turns out to be much better. I took an inch off both sides of my stock 14 bars. My primary goal was to bring my hand position closer to my shoulder width to reduce shoulder fatigue. The increase control was an added bonus. Eric

Because the wide bars suck! Been a big complaint on the pro for years, narrower just feels better.
