ROX Speed FX Pivoting Riser & Dash Panel Relocate Kit

0

You’ve been watching as AJ’s overhauled our Grizzly 700 and turned it into a tribute to perhaps the most popular build segment we’ve ever done on DIRT TRAX; the iconic WR700 Grizzly build.

One product we were really excited to include on this project is the ROX Speed FX pivoting riser and dash panel relocate kit.

Adding a ROX handlebar riser significantly improves performance, control and rider comfort. This specific setup, featuring the Rox X-32 Bend Fat Bars and 5-inch Pivoting Riser, delivers key advantages for riders seeking enhanced maneuverability and a more ergonomic ride.

The ROX riser kit elevates the handlebars by 7-3/8-inch, which is 1.25-inches higher than the stock bars. This increased height allows for a more upright riding posture, reducing strain on the rider’s back and shoulders, especially on long rides. The ergonomic benefit translates into less rider fatigue, enabling more time on the trail with improved endurance.

The ROX X-32 Bend Fat Bars are wider and straighter than stock bars and a key advantage is their 32-inch width and 19-degree sweep, providing greater leverage and control, especially in rough terrains where precise handling is critical. A straighter bar enhances rider input, enabling quicker and more accurate turns, which boosts confidence in navigating tricky trails and obstacles.

Designed to work seamlessly with all stock cables on 2019 and newer Grizzly and Kodiak models, the kit is easy to install without the need for extra parts.

The combination of the ROX risers and the dash panel ensures a clean, functional look, while the patented pivoting riser design allows riders to adjust the handlebars for optimal comfort and control.
