G5 riser height

[C_Car66]

Beating a dead horse with this one but I just rode my g5 turbo for the first time since picking it up 2 weeks ago and I must say crazy power but I felt as though the bars were low, im coming off a 13 xm and had a total 5 inch rise with that setup and felt fine where as with the g5 felt super crunched down. Anyone else noticed they have to go up in riser for the g5 or is it just me? Wanting opinions on others setups before I go buying risers, I'm 5'11 for reference

When standing your arms should be straight down and not bent to determine proper height.

Stock raiser is 120mm (4,7") and I prefer 145mm (5,7") and I´m about the same height as you. I rode beginning of the season with stock raiser (new sled) but whole time I felt something was off. Swapped to a taller riser like I had before and now feel like home again.

Nowadays many riders promote low bar setups, but we are not riding tracks or trails, so a bit taller riser is fine. You cant be on squat position head down the whole day.

I'm 5-11, and stock my 24 expert turbo came with a 4.5" riser. Ive recently put 3" Knucks, and prefer them lower with this new riser.
