The Nitto B2522AA-SSB, commonly known as the Jitensha bar, was designed by the renowned Hiroshi Iimura of Jitensha Studio in Berkeley, CA. This handlebar is a favorite for urban cycling, offering sleek lines, a comfortable ride, and a flat, swept-back design that has also gained popularity in the fixed gear and messenger communities.
The unique bend provides a smooth, ergonomic riding experience, making it suitable for a variety of bikes. Crafted from heat-treated aluminum with a 31.8mm center, this version is likely one of the stiffest and most durable city handlebars available.
