Cinelli VAI BAR 400mm｜Aluminum drop bars that naturally balance comfort and sportiness

Cinelli's classic drop bars, offering a comfortable ride from city cruising to long-distance touring with a shallow PPA drop and natural grip.

From relaxed city cruising to leisurely weekend rides where you want to pick up the pace a bit and take the long way around, the Cinelli VAI BAR is an aluminum drop handlebar that naturally adapts to a wide range of situations.

Its distinctive feature is the shallow PPA (Progressive Parabolic Action) drop shape. The transition from the brake hood position to the drop position is smooth, making it an easy-to-handle balance even for riders who prefer a higher hand position.

Furthermore, the top section features an ergonomic shape that naturally conforms to the palm of your hand. This provides a comfortable grip that reduces fatigue during long rides and everyday use.

When gripping the drops, it's easy to shift your weight forward, naturally accommodating faster riding. The position is exquisitely designed to be neither overly aggressive nor too tame, allowing for a sporty feel.

Constructed from 6061 T6 double-butted aluminum, it achieves a balanced combination of lightness and rigidity. Cinelli's signature sharp silhouette and matte black finish also give the entire bike a sleek and cohesive look.

This is a highly recommended option for anyone from first-time handlebar changers to those looking to re-evaluate their bike's overall ride feel.

Beyond Cinelli's aesthetic appeal, these handlebars are genuinely easy to handle.

They strike a perfect balance, not as idiosyncratic as some of the extremely shallow compact handlebars currently available, yet not overly classic either.

They are comfortable for riding primarily on the brake hoods, and when gripping the drops, it's easy to naturally shift your weight forward, making them versatile for everything from city riding to long tours.

This is a highly recommended option for anyone replacing their drop handlebars for the first time.
