Riser Length? Can't Post
Getting a new rig made up and came across a selection of riser lengths.
Is this just preference? or are there certain rules to follow Crazy

Thanks

Depends what your goals are. Wink

Longer risers gives longer recovery arc.
Having longer risers than you can reach might not be practical.

Usual length is about 21-22", you can find 24" too.

keep in mind that longer risers allow more aggressive front inputs, asking for long(er) brake lines to avoid tail deflection causing canopy buffeting...
