I am trying to figure which height I need on my snowcheck , I'm 5'3" and 130 lbs and i'm currently running the standard handlebar on my sks which is the taller one. I ride in every condition, flat terrain, very tight tree , no big mountain where I ride but short steep terrain. Do I benefit from lower bars or keep higher.
Thank's

Order the lowest bars, then super cheap and easy to add bar riser blocks if you want to go higher.

Go listen to Chris Burandt, clinic or talk, you will agree at short bars as that lets you have better and easier pull over control on the hill. Closer to the "center of gravity" it is all Physics!

Be careful adding risers to the 850. The cable is fairly short, the TSS takes over when turning to the left. Stock, tall bars, will cause issues if you set the TPS to .860+.
