Good quality bar. Long story short, the specs are wrong here (REI) AND on Amazon. The reach is listed as 105 mm here and the mechanical drawing on Amazon. The actual reach of this bar is closer to 125mm. 2cm on a road bike you're trying to make more comfortable is a lot. Will have to return. Please correct the info.
My new favorite drop bars. I really like the subtle flare for more control in the drops. Note that these are the slightly slimmer Nitto B132 model.
The bars have a nice shape and look good. I got them on my road bike.
Beautiful handle bar (hey - it's a Nitto!). BUT, while the width is listed at 44cm the ramps where you actually rest your hands measure at about 39cm. Too narrow for my application. Would be helpful if REI provided more detailed measurements, as is the practice with some online retailers.
