HOW TO: Handlebar Position | The Perfect Cockpit Set Up
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 05. 2024
- Here is a basic step by step tutorial on how I set up my handler bar, brake lever, and grip positioning to achieve the perfect cockpit set up. (Shout out to my wife for filming this!)
Bonus Tip : Once you find your preferred set up and are comfortable, I would recommend marking the bar and lever positioning in a way that will allow you to find that setting again should you take your bike apart or need to change something out. I make small marks with a sharpie.

It’d be cool if you could do a part 2, Aaron. Stem, spacers, overall stack height. Thanks for this.
length spacers and stack height are all going to be personal to your body type, preferences, and frame and size of frame. this information would literally be useless to 99.9999999% of viewers
@@dingusmagee3326 bro, his personal setup in this video is also “personal preference” 🙄 but ok 👌
@@MILTONATOR he's providing general setup tips, and you're asking for precise measurements that will not translate to your setup whatsoever. sure the numbers might be interesting, but looking into them in great detail is a waste
I think it would be interesting to hear his process behind changing stack height, stem length, etc. I’m sure he it changes per track and conditions. We could all apply his processes of when and why change set up to our own bikes.
@@dingusmagee3326 In this video he’s talking about his process for setting up cockpit to achieve your own specific position. There is literally no difference if he did the same process of explanation but for a different aspect of fit/setup. All of the factors you mention as being problematic are irrelevant to both, as you follow his process which accounts for these factors (he even says that in the video). Durrrrr!
I thought I was the only one who cared so much about these little details ! Love it ! Thanks man. Super interesting, in-depth vid for sure 👍🏼
Aaron, this video was a game changer for me. ESPECIALLY the tip on handlebar roll and aligning it towards your head angle. I adjusted my bars, went out for a ride, and noticed an immediate difference. I felt way more stable over chunk, and my bunny hops were much more powerful. I also felt more centered over drops. Before, I would always lean forward a bit on drops. I think it's because my handlebars were rolled a bit more vertically. I can't believe how big of a difference this made.
I am a simple man. I see Gwin setup video I watch.
Saw 18 mins, thought WAY TOO LONG. Ended up watching the whole thing -- very helpful.
Haha thanks! I try to make the videos as long as I need to get all the information out that I feel is valuable and no longer. 👊🏼
This is going to help a lot of riders
Awesome video! Keep them coming learned alot!
Good info!!! Looking forward for more🤟🤟
Your set up makes complete sense. TY!

The King just issued His decree! That's exactly what we needed. You know who's talking? Man, we all are taking notes. And we all want more of this: Personal, confidential information publizised for all of us down below. This video is not for beginners. It's for those who have years of experience setting their cockpit, and have watched all the youtube existing videos on the subject. This is private information to his teammates. And we all got it!!!

So much useful information in one video. I too like to grab onto end of the bar so I'll be picking up a set of those grips now I know they are designed for it.
So much taken knowledge taken from this vid 👌🤟 straight forward - great for a beginner and advanced 🙂 ace
This was great, thank you! I would definitely like to hear more about stem, spacers as well!
Great stuff Aaron....spot on analysis of the "why's"
That is a good advise when it comes to handlebar width. Thanks bro 🤙
So scientific and looks perfect for most riders 👍 thanks for sharing your ideal set up Aaron G. 🙌
I’ve just discovered your channel Aaron. You have a very easy way of explaining things. Great stuff
this video si pure gold !!!
I have just found your channel and watched this video.
Hands down the most informative video on bar set up I have watched.
Thank you
Good vid, super clear, and no one knows better!
Great mention with Carmichael, nice explanation!!!
Love when pros share their knowledge💕
Hi, thanks for posting such informative content. Your suggestion allowed me to dial-in the placement of my bars on two bikes that I had previously been unhappy with. I look forward to more fun content at the end of the season
Very good explanation, respect🤟
Yes! More Please
Great How To Video, keep these Videos coming, I will definitely check my setup according to your advice. Thanks from Germany!
Great vid. Can't wait to see more content from a true American champion!!
Just wanted to let you know that after your video I went over my entire cockpit setup and made adjustments and what a massive difference it made. Thanks for posting this and inspiring me to take a look at things that I thought were fine, but needed some tweaking.
thanks mr.chainless !!!!!!! best ever tuning tips for moto and mtb .........
Thank you for bringing this level of breadth & depth of information & perspective. The quality is sincerely appreciated. Wishing you & your team a sustainably successful season.
Awesome Aaron! keep posting these no pro riders doing this! Really appreciate it thank you.
Great video. Thank you very much!
Increíble video…. very good explanation
Thanks 🤝🔥🚲
Wow! Pretty much spot on with how I do it. Stoked. For some reason I didn't think we would have the same philosophy. Thanks!
Great video Aaron! I'm looking forward to all the great content and advice you'll be putting out here. How can someone give this video a thumbs down??
This is really good. I like how you focused on what's driving your decisions - ie what to think about. I also appreciate the outtakes at the end. I think including those as you go forward will help bring not just your skill, but your entertainment factor up. And super props to your wife!
Best bike setup video I've watched. Really liked the optimizing your setup from a strength perspectice.
Great video and there is always something to learn. Keep up the great work and I agree with others Spacer and stack height would be great to understand and not just guess at.
I enjoyed this video. Post more videos, especially on technique.
This was clear and definitely got something to try. I'm quite surprised that so many aspects must be considered on the handlebar but it totally makes sense.
Thats pretty comprehensive cockpit talk and delivered with the confidence of a cockpit puzzler 😁
I had bar roll on my radar but did not put as much importance in it as is probably warranted, given the reasons provided in this video. Will have to revisit that.
Looking forward to more insights!
Like a pro-fessor of MTB. Great lecture.thanks
Fantastic video.
One of the most interesting topics is rebound speeds. Running it fast but not to fast is really tricky.
Thanks! This video is amazing. I’m about to become a new owner of rental bars and Odi grips.
This is the most detailed tutorial for handle bar set up i have watch.. yiiieeww thanks my idol for this free tips 🤘🤘🤘
Wow great video!!
It’s great that you make a direct correlation with MX techniques and set-up, makes more sense for folks that do both
Great stuff! Really hope he continues to push out learning content, especially coming from a professional motocross and multi-consecutive world downhill bike champion!
This is a good watch. I do all the things you say here, but still good to know I was doing it right. 👍🏼
Super HELPFUL! This is the kind of video I comb the internet for that actually educates me on how to setup my kit for RIDING and not just because it feels good in the driveway when I am setting stuff up. Great Info!
Very good X-plaining! Back again for reference!
Great explanation of how and why you set your bike up like you do! I've been riding for 20 something years and there were a couple things you mentioned I hadn't thought of before. Looking forward to experimenting and would like to hear your opinion on stack height. I personally have found that stack height can make a huge difference with your body position and staying centered.
As others have said a video on what types of cross training you do would be nice. For me specifically what type of resistance training or body weight training do you do that helps you ride better. I know I was best at riding when I was physically strongest so it would be interesting to hear what specific lifts help you.
Great stuff!
Aaron - thanks for putting this together. Hadn’t considered times I experienced front wheel knifing due to the bar rolled too far forward.
Amazing video, you destroyed some of the myths of the genre !
Great Content… keep it up!!!!!!!
thanks for the great tips i am a reat fan of u u inspired me by your story
This is great info.. I to as well spend days getting my setup right on a new bike.. Everything he hit on I agree 💯 with.
This video deserves more likes
Golden!! 🤘🤘🤘
I'm working on fixing up a "run hard & put away wet" Mongoose Durham 29' and the bars have been my sticking point until now. Awesome info
Great topic! ✌🏼❤️🍻
