NITTO × Rivendell RBW-32 Wavie Bar｜Wide Flat Bar for Natural Handling

Wide and reassuring, with a perfectly balanced sweep. A Rivendell custom bar that makes riding on roads and unpaved paths enjoyable.

The "RBW-32 Wavie Bar" is a collaboration between California's Rivendell Bicycle Works and Japan's esteemed handlebar manufacturer NITTO. It's a flat bar that achieves a high level of stability for off-road riding and comfort for everyday use.

Its distinctive features are the wide handlebar width and the exquisite back sweep, which is not too deep. It naturally positions the wrists, reduces strain on the shoulders and arms, and enhances control. Its appealing feel makes it easy to handle in a wide range of situations, from precise maneuvers in the city to stable riding on forest roads and gravel.

Thanks to its simple riseless design, it can also be inverted. This offers the flexibility to adjust the position according to the rider's preference and the bike's purpose. It's a bar that combines Rivendell's practicality with NITTO's beautiful craftsmanship.
