Nitto B2522AA

This handlebar is specifically designed for urban environments, making it an excellent choice for townie bikes and daily commuters. Its geometry prioritizes a natural, upright riding position that keeps you comfortable during short trips or longer city rides.

The 45-degree backsweep is quite pronounced, which pulls your hands back toward your body. This creates a relaxed, upright posture that reduces strain on your wrists and shoulders compared to flatter, more aggressive bars.

The B2522AA requires a stem with a 31.8 mm clamp diameter. If your current stem is a different size, you will need to swap it out to install these bars.

The width determines your leverage and how much space you take up in traffic. The 570 mm version is slightly more compact for navigating tight city spaces, while the 610 mm option offers a bit more stability and a wider stance for a more relaxed feel.

Yes, the grip area features a standard 22.2 mm diameter, which is compatible with almost all mountain bike and commuter-style grips, shifters, and brake levers.

Absolutely. Nitto uses heat-treated aluminum, which provides a high strength-to-weight ratio. It is stiff enough to handle the vibrations and impacts of city streets without feeling flexy or fragile.
