Cateye Hibiki Bell

The Cateye Hibiki is designed to fit standard handlebar diameters. If you have oversized bars (typically 31.8mm or larger), you may need to check your specific handlebar measurement, as this bell is optimized for standard sizing.

Brass is denser than aluminum, which allows the Hibiki to produce a deeper, more resonant tone. This material choice helps the sound sustain longer and cut through traffic noise more effectively than lighter, cheaper metal alternatives.

Yes, the mounting system is designed for a stable, fixed attachment. While it is primarily intended for urban commuting and casual riding, it holds firmly in place on standard handlebars and won't rattle loose during normal road vibrations.

The Hibiki is a simple mechanical device and requires virtually no maintenance. If it gets dirty, a quick wipe with a damp cloth is sufficient, and you should avoid using lubricants on the striker mechanism to prevent attracting grit.

Yes, the design is ambidextrous. You can easily mount it on either side of your handlebars depending on your preference and where you have available space in your cockpit.
