Wald 5.25-Inch Rise MTB Handle Bar, Chrome 27.1 #803

I turned my old mountain bike into what looks like a dirt bike from my youth. My back doesn't allow me to lean forward and pedal the way I used to. These allow me to sit upright, and have some fun. They're very sturdy. They look cool, and you can't beat the price.

Perfect fit, replaced OEM bars that were too low. These are much more comfortable than what I had before, much easier on wrist now since more of my weight is positioned further back and up higher. Very well made.

I bought this handlebar to replace old one on my mountain bike as the riding posture was very uncomfortable me. The install was quick and easy and I'm now able to enjoy riding bike more upright. I took about 15 minutes to replace the old with new handlebar. The old brake and shifter cable were not long enough to reach new positions so I'm changing those out as soon as they arrive. These handlebar was not a next day delivery however they were a good value and well worth the wait.

Good handlebar. Like a lot of reviewers, I no longer find it comfortable to ride with a straight bar. And I'm 6'3" tall, so I have the seat really high, which makes the riding position even more uncomfortable with low handlebars. I had a handlebar with a 2.5" rise on a Trek 2700, but this one is a lot more comfortable. In case you need to know, the sweep back of the handlebar is about 3". I measured that by placing the handlebar on a table and measuring the height of the end of the bar. So on a bicycle, If you have the "U" part of the handlebar vertical, the tips will be about 3" closer to the rider than the center is. Be aware that you may have to replace your brake and shifter cables if your existing handlebar isn't the same rise. I was able to re-route two cables, had to replace one.I deducted one point (should have been half a point, but that's not an option) because the packaging wasn't very good. It was shipped in a priority box that was really just folded and mashed around the handlebar. Consequently, when it arrived, the box was torn almost completely across in two places and when I picked it up, the packing list just fell out on the ground. So it needs better packaging for shipping. The handlebar was undamaged, though (it's a hunk of chromed steel, after all).

My wife and I live in Florida and ride virtually all year. Her bike had a straight bar which made her lean too far forward, which was uncomfortable riding for long periods. This riser handlebar allows her to ride more upright which is much more comfortable.

First of all the handlebars came in a box big enough to fit a teenager in. Then the bubble wrap had to literally be "SHAVED" away from the chrome. It was as if it was heat sealed over the entire thing and took me 40 minutes to scrape the plastic from the metal with as little scratching as possible. It was also hard to handle using awkward using a sharp knife while holding onto bubble wrap and skinny bars! It probably sat in a hot warehouse for who knows how long!

Was concerned about pullback and diameter measurements so Amazon-messaged the seller and received a prompt response. Just put the handlebar on it's the perfect shape and fit! Good quality. Packaged very well so was NOT damaged or bent in transit. I would buy from Bell's Bikes again.

Gets a more upright position riding that I like.
