NITTO Mod177 Noodle Bar Black

We have specially ordered NITTO' s famous Mod 177 drop bar, known and loved all over the world as the Noodle Bar, in black.

Even riders who already love drop bars will fall in love with this bar shape, and it will even capture the hearts of riders who think drop bars are a bit too much. It is an excellent drop bar that can even win the hearts of riders who think that drop bars are a bit too much for their liking.

The Noodle Bar may be the most comfortable drop bar for any cyclist. Its shaping is such that the flat part at the top sweeps back slightly toward the rider, bringing the bar closer, and the drop (bottom) flares out 4°. But the important part is the ramp just behind the bar, where the brake lever fits. Many riders place their hands there, and if the slope is too steep, there is no support and the hands can slide forward or down.

Most bars have a slope of about 24° to 32°, but the Noodle Bar has a slope of 15°. If you tilt the bar properly so that the ends face downward about 10°, the 15° slope becomes a 5° slope, from which your sweaty hands will not slide downward.

When choosing the width of this noodle bar, it is not recommended that it be as wide as your shoulder width like a regular handlebar. A bar size slightly wider than shoulder width would be better.
