NITTO for shred bar｜A Modern Riser Bar Built for Streets and Trails
Perfectly balanced rise and sweep angles. A NITTO riser bar that makes you want to get out of the saddle and ride.
The handlebar is one of the components that can dramatically change the way a bike feels. The NITTO for shred bar was developed to deliver confident handling across a wide range of riding styles, from urban streets to off-road trails.
“Shred” is a slang term for riding hard and fully enjoying the terrain, whether on the street or the trail. True to its name, this bar brings out the fun of controlling the bike freely and dynamically.
A carefully balanced combination of 25mm rise, 6° upsweep, and 3° backsweep creates a comfortable position that feels natural in the hands. It works equally well on MTBs, fixed-gear bikes, and commuter builds, adding a modern yet neo-classic character to the bike.

💬 STAFF REVIEW
It features just 3° of backsweep, paired with a distinctive 6° upsweep and 25mm rise.
Unlike relaxed, swept-back handlebars designed for an upright cruising position, the for shred bar has a much more direct and assertive feel.
The unusual angle may feel unfamiliar when you first hold it, but once you get out of the saddle and start throwing the bike from side to side, it feels incredibly good.
