chappo Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Just got a 2015 260 RT, couldn't believe they knocked £950 off them, anyway, I'm 6'2" tall and the bars seem a little low for me and I'm 55. Has anyway put any taller bars on or bar risers, just looking for opinions before making a purchase. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsawyer Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 I've been running the 5.5" rise Jitsie fatbars on my 2014 4RT260 for about a year, and like them. They feel very close to the 5.5" rise Renthal 7/8" bars I use on my older 4RT, which is what I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rht Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hi Jeff , I have looked after the Montesa 4RT 260 2014 and 2015 demonstrator models for Craigs Motorcycles, being tall I tried higher Renthal bars bike felt more balanced. Hope that helps. Regards Richard RHT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappo Posted August 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Hi Richard, How tall are the Renthals you used, the Bou ones and others appear to be only 4.5" rise unless I'm misreading it?? The Jitsie ones are 5.5". Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rht Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Morning Dave, Yes the Bou bars are listed 4.5 inch rise, S3 bars fitted on your red 4RT are similar rise. Renthal have a 5.00 rise bar in black only and comes with bar pad. The Renthal spec sheet lists this bar 13mm 1/2 inch higher than the Bou bend bar, when I tried them did not think the 1/2 inch would make the difference I was looking for but it did. No problem to try my bike at Craigs with the higher bars on, or do you come over to the monthly Saturday trials practice day at Tong.
