I'm sure you will get a bunch of different answers to this one but I've heard good things about the PowerMadd ones (don't slip as much as the ROX ones). Personally I'm going with the Isovibe ones in an attempt to prevent the strained wrist syndrome when landing big air. Anyone else try these? I guess a lot of snocross racers use them. They have a link to their website on DooTalk.com and I think they give a discount if you become a DooTalk subscribed member.

As for what size, most guys my size are getting 2-3" risers (I'm 5'9") so I'm guessing you'd be best off with the 4" risers.

Have Fun,

PS - SkiDoo ones are stock parts and usually more expensive than aftermarket.

i am six feet. i got the 2inch powermadd. just was not worth the effort to save 20 bucks, by making them.they have never slipped or given me any problem.i do mostly level ungroomed trail riding. my oem bars ends used to bump my knees on hard turns when i was sitting.i think the 2inch are fine for standup too.,i have long arms however. if you go larger than two, you will most likely need an extension kit for the cables. my throttle cable could have gone a hair higher, but the brake line was at its safe limit with the two. i got a piece of four inch black plastic corrugated drain pipe to use to cover the cables and bar shaft,just below the doo rubber bar pad.looks oem...really got to look to spot it. i do not care for the exposed parts look. i do not think that you need the articulated bar riser either, unless you are in some type of competitive riding.

I installed a ROX 2" riser and installed the steel Arctic-cat handle bar caps in place of the doo aluminum ones and they have been excellent with no slipping and very strong.Plus the riser looks very good.see it @ dootalk.com.For me my rev just did not fit me and I was regreting buying it. after 900 miles I still was not happy but the riser totally changed the sled for me and now I am very happy with my sled except for fuel milage.As far as I'm concerned the sled should come factory with the 2" riser.ski-doo stated the sled would make me a better rider but in fact it made me worse but with the riser installed the sled is now pretty fun especially off trail.Without the riser I could not stand up on the sled because the bars were to low and for sit down riding they were to far ahead and to low but now I can do both and I'm very impressed.Best thing I could have done to my REV and if I wouldn't have installed the riser I would have been trading it off for next season!it was that much of an improvement for me!i'm around 6'1" 230lbs(plus with 2" riser all cables and brake line reach just need to cut off some tie wraps)
