Bear in mind again in late August, I wrote about that lugged gravel bike from the MADE Present, that had trendy geometry? Nicely, that magnificence was one in all Minnisota’s personal Wilde Bikes fashions. This time, they’re within the information with the discharge of their new Nation Bar, a cool new alt-bar.
For this undertaking, Wilde teamed up with none apart from the 100+-year-old, iconic Japanese part firm, and handlebar manufacturing masters, Nitto.
Nitto’s heritage and status for high quality by way of the numerous totally different eras, has garnered international respect that speaks for itself. And only for enjoyable, and for those who preserve observe of these items, the official Nitto designation for the bar is B804AA, however Wilde thinks that “Nation Bar” rolls off of the tongue higher.
I agree.
This bar appears to be like to be slightly paying homage to the moto bars that the early mountain bike pioneers had been utilizing to bomb Repack. Wilde calls this their “dream off-road touring bar”.
Jeff Frane, proprietor and designer says that they’ve been “unbelievably pleased with the end result” because the check riders are coming again with overwhelmingly constructive responses. Wilde is looking it the proper bar for bikepacking, metropolis cruising, and basket bombing. The Nation Bar has a pleasant, 800mm broad perch and appears to have a little bit of flex.
