Nitto B352 North Road Handlebar

These handlebars require a stem with a 25.4mm clamp diameter, which is the standard size for most vintage and city bike stems. If your current stem is 31.8mm, you will need to replace the stem or use a shim adapter.

The B352 is compatible with standard 22.2mm mountain or city bike brake levers. Most flat-bar style levers will fit perfectly on the grip area.

The 60-degree sweep places your hands in a more natural, relaxed position, which reduces strain on your wrists and shoulders. While it offers a stable, upright feel ideal for city riding, it is less aggressive than a flat bar and not intended for high-speed performance cycling.

Yes, the upright posture provided by the 60mm rise and swept-back design is excellent for comfort on longer commutes. By taking the weight off your hands and wrists, they help you stay comfortable for extended periods in the saddle.

At 465 grams, these bars are sturdy and durable, which is expected for heat-treated steel. While they are heavier than aluminum alternatives, the steel construction provides a classic aesthetic and a reliable, vibration-dampening feel on the road.
