Nitto uses mysterious model numbers for its products (e.g. “Neat Mod.104”) which are further obscured by everyone abbreviating or misspelling them in the time-honoured, slapdash fashion of the web.

Additionally the PDF catalogue is incomplete, possibly because some companies have commissioned their own Nitto products (Rivendell with the Noodle?), which are nonetheless available elsewhere.

What’s more, it’s impossible to tell anything useful about the shape of a three-dimensional drop handlebar from a three-quarter view … so of course that is almost always the view presented.

Ideally I’d like to know the shape of all the Nitto handlebars, but failing that, is there a handlebar a bit like the Noodle but without the rearward sweep of the tops?

Thanks.

I would drop an email to Nitto.

Try the MOD 176 Dream Bar.

It has flat ramps like the Noodle but no sweep and a slight 2° flare per side, similar reach and drop. It is also commissioned by Rivendell and available at many different websites at wildly different prices.

Be careful of counterfeits.

The drop portion looks pretty much like your typical 'Classic Bend' bar, though they might have a bit more reach than something like a 3T Rotundo. Regardless, searching for 'classic bend' should yield a number of results.
