Nitto Noodle HT

The Noodle HT is designed primarily for long-distance touring, randonneuring, and daily commuting. Its geometry prioritizes all-day comfort and provides specific clearance for handlebar bags or baskets, making it a favorite for riders who carry gear.

This handlebar requires a stem with a 26.0mm clamp diameter. Please verify your current stem's clamp size before purchasing, as many modern stems use a 31.8mm standard.

The Noodle shape features a slightly flattened top section and a specific bend that creates a more natural, ergonomic hand position. This design is intended to reduce fatigue in your palms and wrists during long hours in the saddle.

The 4-degree flare is subtle and will not impact your choice of standard road brake levers or shifters. However, because of the extra width and the specific bend, you may want to use slightly longer bar tape than you would for a traditional, non-flared bar to ensure full coverage.

Yes, the heat-treated construction provides a distinct increase in stiffness and durability without adding unnecessary weight. This results in a more responsive feel when climbing or sprinting while maintaining the vibration-dampening qualities Nitto is known for.
