The Syncros Fraser iC SL cockpits come in 3 models - DC, XC, and WC. I've read that each model maintains the same grip height (aka drop) across the available "stem" lengths. I like the approach Syncros uses in keeping the grip height the same across a given model. I just don't understand why they don't publish what the grip height difference is between the models! Using the published stem lengths and angles just amounts to a guessing game because not everyone measures this stuff the same exact way. I've sent questions to both Syncros and Scott and can't get the answer.
Does anybody here know the grip height difference between each of these models?

Fantastic observation! Having that particular piece of information not easily available is certainly annoying. Syncros' cockpit designs are top-notch, but motorcyclists would benefit greatly from more information regarding the various grip heights. Perhaps someone here has the information you need!

Just a quick post to follow up on this for anyone with similar questions.
The Syncros Fraser iC SL XC is the only model that maintains very nearly the same grip height for the various stem length options. This is accomplished by a different stem angle for each stem length. The other models (DC and WC) bar height changes to match traditional stems with the same length and angle (as measured along the centerline of a non-integrated stem although some, like Syntace, aren't measured this way FWIW). The stem length options for the WC models are fairly limited. My guess is the market for these much lower bars is also fairly limited.
