• You should be over the back of the bike on the faster rougher stuff making it harder to reach down to the lever when it lower.

    That's a good point I'd not thought of. I'm still learning with all things offroad so will gladly listen to anyone who has advice. Thanks for all the tips.

  • Lots of conflicting advice with this. Bret Tkacs on his vids on taller riders will recommend a lower angle. Others do too depending on what you ride.

    However, like above, I put my DR levers quite high, so when I am ass-back standing my hands are flat and not angled at the wrists.

  • I agree with this.

    Coming from trials I run them higher than normal maybe but I had tried lower and it's always the sensation of leaning down and your hands roiling over the top.

    Few pictures of some of the worlds best just to show you a rough angle. The picture of Tomac is a good example of being over the back yet still be able to reach the controls.
