Install steps
- Pick your spacers. The mounts on their own give you 7.5mm more reach and 5mm more rise. Add spacers to go 10, 15 or 20mm higher. Spacers come with longer bolts, so make sure you use the correct length bolts when running spacers.
- Remove the stock setup. Take off your existing mounts and handlebars.
- Gas Gas only, add the round spacers. Skip this step on a TRS.
- Fit the spacers and mounts. Install your spacers and the mounts, then thread the correct length bolts up from the bottom of the crown. Tighten one side at a time to 45 Nm.
- Set your bars. Move the handlebar to your preferred position. Tighten the non gap side of the clamp first so there is no gap showing, then tighten the gap side to 20 Nm. Go back and check the non gap side is at 20 Nm as well.
Before you ride: your bars now sit further forward and higher, so turn them lock to lock and make sure no cable, hose or wire pulls tight or snags. Check the throttle snaps closed at full lock both ways.
Dial in your height
The mounts give you +7.5mm of reach and +5mm of rise on their own. Stack spacers to go higher, 5mm at a time.
| Spacers | Total rise |
|---|---|
| 0 | +5mm |
| 1 | +10mm |
| 2 | +15mm |
| 3 | +20mm |
Not sure how high to go? Start low, ride it, and add a spacer if you still feel folded up on the bike. Extra spacers are available here.

FAQ
What bikes do they fit?
TRS and Gas Gas trials bikes. Choose the TRS One or Gas Gas TXT version when you order.
Who are they for?
Riders over 5'10" (180cm) who feel cramped on a stock trials bike. The extra reach and rise open up your body position, give you room to move over the front of the bike, and take load off your back, shoulders and forearms on long rides. Developed and tested by Sondre Haga, Trial 2 World Champion.
Do I need any other parts?
No. They are a direct fit and come with the bolts you need.
