The Nitto B352 Albatross Handlebar is a comfortable swept-back handlebar designed by Rivendell and crafted by the legendary Japanese manufacturer Nitto. Often referred to as the “ultimate swept-back bar,” it’s a favorite for riders looking for a relaxed, ergonomic riding position without sacrificing control.
With its generous backsweep and moderate 50mm rise, the Albatross bar provides excellent comfort for everyday riding, commuting, and long-distance touring. It pairs especially well with classic chromoly frames and adds a timeless aesthetic to any bike build.
One of the standout features of the B352 is its versatility. The bar can be installed in two orientations to suit different riding styles: flipped upward for a more upright and relaxed position, or flipped downward for a lower, slightly more aggressive “drop-ish” feel.
Beautifully made from Cr-Mo steel and finished with the precision craftsmanship Nitto is known for, this is the kind of handlebar riders often end up wanting on more than one bike.
