Nitto B132 Randonneur Handlebar

A randonneur bend features a subtle upward flare in the drops and slightly swept-up tops. This design is specifically intended to reduce wrist strain and fatigue during long-distance rides by offering a more natural, ergonomic hand position.

No, these bars do not feature cable grooves. They are designed with a traditional round profile, meaning your brake and shifter cables will run externally along the bar, which is standard for vintage-style builds.

No, the Nitto B132 is not compatible with clip-on aero bars. The specific bend and alloy construction are optimized for traditional touring and endurance riding rather than aerodynamic setups.

The 25.4 mm measurement refers to the diameter of the bar at the stem clamp area. You will need a stem specifically designed for this 'standard' size, which is common on many touring and vintage road bikes but smaller than the 31.8 mm 'oversized' standard found on most modern road bikes.

Nitto measures these bars center-to-center. This means the 440 mm width is measured from the center of the tube on one side to the center of the tube on the other, which is the industry standard for ensuring a precise fit for your cockpit.
