Nitto B617 Promenade Handlebar

The Nitto B617 requires a stem with a 25.4mm clamp diameter, which is a standard size for many city and vintage-style bikes. Please check your current stem specifications before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

The 135-degree backsweep brings the grips closer to your body, allowing you to sit more upright. This position takes weight off your wrists and shoulders, making it much more comfortable for casual city riding compared to flat or drop bars.

While it is excellent for comfort, it is designed primarily for city and commuter use. The upright position is great for short to medium distances, but it may not offer enough hand positions for long-distance touring where you need to shift your posture frequently to avoid fatigue.

Not at all. The zero-rise profile keeps your front end low and stable, while the wide sweep provides plenty of leverage. This combination offers predictable, confident handling that is perfect for navigating urban environments.

Yes, the bar is designed to accommodate standard 22.2mm grips and brake levers. However, because of the significant sweep, make sure your brake and shifter cables have enough slack to reach the new, closer position of the controls.
