Default Straight risers (Hardcase) vs pulback

Hi all

currently i have the thrashin supply bar set up, 9.5" chubby risers, thrashin mid bend bars and and top clamp and am thinking about getting a set of hardcase 9.5" risers and MX bars. i come from MX and want the smaller diameter bars and also like the look,

this isnt about looks though as i like the look of both set ups, i am quite tall and sometimes wonder if i was pulled forward a little more maybe i would be a little more comfortable but im not sure

i am looking for reviews on the hardcase performance set ups and opinions on straight vs pull back risers

The bar diameter wouldnt change the feel because you would just have to sleeve the MX bars to fit the HD stuff. You could try just rotating your bars forward... Im assuming the MX bars you are looking at dont have as much pull back as the thrashin bars? Might not change much unless your risers now are the bent back style.
