Anyone use Rox pivoting risers?

I have them on the dirt bike. They look nice and work well. The design allows some fore/aft adjustment, unlike the fixed risers I have on the street bike.

They do offer a lot more height than most other risers, so it is entirely possible that you'd need new cables depending on how far back you want to tilt them.

What he said. Check to see how much play you have in your cables, you could probably install those risers in most bikes but for some you won't be able to take advantage of the fully raised and tilted position unless you change routing or change cable length. I like mine, they've made a big difference.
 
Honestly I don't need to tilt them towards me. I just wanted to do the 2" rise. So I searched for 2 inch risers and Allmost all of the nice looking ones were the Rox pivoting.. I would be okay without the non pivoting function. Is there any others you recommend?

I thought Rox made non pivoting ones? I sent them an email and got a pretty quick reply. Shoot them a message.
 
I have a set of the pivoting ones....had to lengthen the brake cable - still waiting for install. Made a big difference to my back on the previous Vstrom which is why I want them on this new one.

Yep, 2013 model. I only installed the 30mm risers, so the brake line was long enough. If you want a 2" rise, yeah you'd need new lines.

The 30mm works for me... more comfortable than before.
 
Up to 2" if you don't pivot.....the idea of the pivot is to have control in two directions. They are quite nicely done. Most riders using risers want up and back ....fixed ones are cheaper but limited range of change.

I would actually go up and slightly forward. I have longer arms so I want to maintain the same distance but slightly higher..

Do you know if anyone sells these local?
It is online the only place to get them?

Online was significantly cheaper for me. Some resellers on EBay. Make sure you get the right ones for your bike.
