To maintain my favoured stack, reach and bars, I am looking for a short stem with a decent rise. I have tried higher-rise bars ( 60mm Spank and Surly Sunrise), but I need to rotate them to be comfy, which causes the reach to grow. I have the allowed 30mm of spacers under the stem and still need more rise.
I have an Ergotech High Ray, which is working well with my 38mm rise bar, but I wondered what other options are available.
Here are the oddities I have found so far:

Suggestions welcome
THis may not give you the amount of rise you want but worth a look

Think I've got a 35*35 nukeproof neutron
I was going to say DMR Defy35, it won't have as much rise as the Ergotec but is a more standard style stem. The DMR also has a a very low stack so can be run higher up your steerer for additional height.
If you don't mind buying a copy then you can get a Evosid stem on AliExpress for much cheaper
If you have used the allowed 30mm of stem spacers the DMR defy stem only has about 5mm - 8mm of rise
Hope did them.(riser) stems a few years back.
I cannot remember the shortest length though.
Not sure if they still do.
Edit: Looks like AM stem is 50mm and 20 degree rise!

Yes, but its advantage is that its stack height is a miniscule 27mm.
I'm going through exactly the same process at the moment although, but not quite to the same extent.
The ergon is effective, but its the stem equivalent of an orthapedic shoe and actually ended up too high for me.
Funn also do the Equaliser stem which is a flip flop stem for low or high, but trigonmetrically, I worked out it didn't give much of a benefit over the DMR with its small stack height.
That Ergotec stem looks errrrr . . . interesting - but then what do I know? I'm running an ancient Mr Dirt - Wild Thing stem. It's about 75mm tall and is great at getting a very comfortable position. Especially for downhilling.
Bottom right on

Or there's Rulezman stem - bit rich at 274 Euros though!
