Nitto Model 105 Handlebar

Most modern threadless stems use a 31.8mm clamp diameter, while this Nitto bar requires a 25.4mm clamp. You will likely need a shim or a specific quill-style stem to install this handlebar correctly.

At 370mm, this is a relatively narrow handlebar by modern standards. It is best suited for riders who prefer a compact, aerodynamic position or those building up smaller, vintage-style frames.

The traditional bend provides a deep, classic drop that is excellent for aggressive riding positions. However, it lacks the flat, ergonomic tops found on modern bars, so it is best for riders who prioritize a simple, round grip.

While durable, the traditional geometry is designed more for classic road riding than modern endurance touring. If you are looking for multiple hand positions for all-day comfort, you might find the lack of flare or flat tops limiting.

Because of the classic silver finish, this bar pairs beautifully with traditional cloth tape or perforated leather-style wraps. Avoid overly thick, gel-heavy tapes, as they can obscure the clean, round profile of the tubing.
