The original B805 bars were on a vintage Araya MTB that came in the shop for a bar swap. I didn&#8217;t know which brand the bars were at the time, but I just really liked the shape of it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-172271\" src=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_3586-1280x960.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_3586-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_3586-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_3586.jpg 1664w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the picture of the original handlebar.<\/p>\n<p>I soon noticed the Nitto logo when I took the handlebar off the bike.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-172272\" src=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_3587-1280x960.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_3587-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_3587-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_3587.jpg 1664w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The original bar was 580mm wide. It was just a random all-rounder bar from the time. I contacted Nitto to ask if we can make a wider version of these to meet the modern standards. I already knew that they will be a killer.<\/p>\n<p>The OG B805 bar was about to be thrown away, but it made its way back to the Nitto factory as a sample. Its become a full circle now.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-172273\" src=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/20250627-DSC06057-1-1280x1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/20250627-DSC06057-1-1280x1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/20250627-DSC06057-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/20250627-DSC06057-1.jpg 1350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nitto was able to extend the bars to 700mm. They let me pick out my favorite Nitto logo and that became the Sync Bar. It&#8217;s a very simple bar, but I just love the shape. These bars look great on track bikes, but also look nice on vintage mountain bikes or gravel bikes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-172274\" src=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/20250616-DSC05073-1280x1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/20250616-DSC05073-1280x1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/20250616-DSC05073-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/20250616-DSC05073.jpg 1350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>18\u00b0 back sweep.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its simple look from the front, you can see it has a solid \u201cback sweep.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned in a previous blog post, this angle makes it less tiring for riding long distances.
