Nitto Classic 115

Yes, they will, but keep in mind that the Nitto 115 features a traditional round-top profile without cable grooves. This means your brake and shifter housing will sit on the outside of the bar, which can create a slightly bulkier feel under your bar tape compared to modern aero bars.

You will need a stem with a 25.4 mm clamp diameter. This is a standard size for many vintage and quill stems, but it is smaller than the 31.8 mm standard found on most modern road bikes, so double-check your current setup before ordering.

Absolutely. The traditional drop geometry is excellent for touring because it offers multiple hand positions, allowing you to shift your weight and posture during long days in the saddle. The aluminum construction is also durable enough to handle the rigors of loaded riding.

The Nitto 115 features a deeper drop (140 mm) and longer reach (100 mm) compared to modern compact bars. This provides a more aggressive, stretched-out position when you are in the drops, which many riders prefer for a classic aesthetic and handling feel.

No, any standard road bar tape will work perfectly. Because the bars have external cable routing, you might want to use a slightly thicker or padded tape to help smooth out the profile where the cables run along the top of the bar.
