【NEW】Dull Rhonda Stem and long-time-no-see Fun3 Bar

Well, Rhonda you look so fine…

Was that The Beach Boys singing that?

The SimWorks Rhonda Stem is a 31.8mm clamp, OS ahead stem made from CrMo (chromoly) steel. And of course, it’s reliably made by Nitto.

Previously, the silver version was available in a chrome finish, but starting with this batch, we are renewing the lineup with the softly gleaming Dull Bright (DB) finish.

While the SW stem has long been available in a super-shiny chrome finish, our DB finish has been very popular for our chromoly products, including our handlebars. This color renewal is in response to requests like, "I want to match the color with my handlebars!"

It features an 80-degree angle and a 4-bolt clamp.

The aluminum faceplate features our hand-stamped and inked Heart and Arrow 💘

While CNC-machined aluminum stems are cool, the TIG-welded joints and slender silhouette are unique to the charm of a chromoly stem.

In fact, when looking at 31.8mm clamp options, I think the vast majority of choices are aluminum handlebars, but this stem also provides a perfect color match for SimWorks by NITTO aluminum bars.

By the way, from this lot onward, all silver-colored models in the SimWorks by NITTO CrMo product lineup will be transitioned to the DB finish.

The Fun Fun Fun Fun3 Bar

Furthermore, at this same time, the Fun3 Bar—a masterpiece from SimWorks by NITTO—is back in stock.

Riser bars are usually finished with two bends—an upright rise and a back sweep—but the defining feature of the Fun3 is, quite literally (?), that it has been bent three times.

As its developer, Tanashin, says, "The more bends, the more fun, right?"

Perhaps that fun has paid off (?), as it allows for an exquisite, indescribable riding position. It is a magic handlebar that fits "just right" no matter where you hold it and no matter what kind of bicycle you put it on.

Because of this, the SimWorks official page even lists its handlebar specs as having "capacity for acceptance," making it a truly generous handlebar.

The Fun3 Bar has been out for a while, so if you've been waiting, now is the time.
