The NITTO × BLUE LUG b355 Kite Bar is a commuter handlebar custom-ordered by BLUE LUG in Hatagaya, Tokyo, from NITTO. Based on the classic b354 model, it features a deeper curve, providing a more natural grip and comfortable riding position.
It reduces strain on the wrists and is suitable for a wide range of riding, from cruising around town to long-distance touring. It can be mounted in either direction, allowing you to change the riding position to suit your bike's style and your preferences.
Made from thick aluminum tubing that prioritizes durability over lightness, this handlebar is built for long-lasting, reliable use. It's a handlebar that naturally complements various bikes, including hybrid bikes, commuters, and old MTBs.

The natural curve you feel the moment you place your hands on it provides comfort for city riding and reduces fatigue during long rides. Its appeal lies in the exquisite position that is neither overly upright nor too sporty.
It pairs well with chromoly bikes and old MTBs, as well as modern commuter and gravel bikes. For those who want to prioritize comfort on their daily ride, this is a handlebar we highly recommend.
