Rox riser 2.5" on apex xtx

[snowbeast]

Does anyone else think the xtx sits to high and when you want to stand up,you need to bend in order to do so. I see Yamaha acc. site now has rox riser but we can get same riser from rox a little cheaper,so I guess my question is,do we replace the stock riser with the rox only,or install the rox on top of the stock block,because if I want another 2-2.5 inch rise over what it has,and I do,so do I order a 6.0 riser from rox?

You install the Rox riser on top of the stock one. An added benefit is that you are able to adjust your handlebars more forward or back, for a different feel.

I just checked out the risers on Yammy's site and I see they offer a different style riser than the one I have. Mine looks like this:

Ya,the ones I saw on rox site look like yours,are those 2" you have? And are they adjustable forward or backwards,and do they help a lot?

Actually, I mounted a set of 4 inch risers on mine. A little rearrangement of the cables and all is good. I had a set of 2 inch risers before, but after installing a WRP seat, felt I needed a bit more height.

You could pivot them fully forward or back. Makes stand up riding better, allowing you to keep your back straight.

Ya that is what I am looking for,straight up standing,coming off a cat procross,it was real easy to stand,do you still have those 2" risers,if so would you consider selling them.

I mounted them on my bike, sorry.
