VeloSolo 'Squeeze' Bar

VeloSolo 2024 Sale item! UPDATE - NOW SOLD OUT AND DISCONTINUED

A beautifully machined piece of engineering, hand made from start to finish in the UK. Perfect for urban or polo use. Cut from a solid block of 6082 aluminium alloy. Constant diameter straight bar (solid) with domed ends, central knurling and laser engraving. Reassuringly hefty and a pleasure to handle.

Please note. Sadly we are discontinuing this bar. At present we still have final stock of the following options ONLY: custom polished in 26.0mm & 26.4mm (ALL OTHER SIZES/COLOURS SOLD OUT). See listing below for 26.0mm option.

Length of all bars is 38cm. This is a good all-round sensible width for traffic dodging while still retaining full control - remember your feet and pedals will be wider than this anyway. See FAQ for more.

IMPORTANT: being constant diameter these bars need care in fitting to avoid scratches - please see the Blog article for fitting tips before installing these bars and ensure they will fit your stem - we cannot accept returns of scratched bars because the wrong size was forced in! Each bar is supplied with detailed fitting instructions. Brake levers that fit this bar include the Dirt Harry and Tektro Cross Top levers. Please see FAQ for handlebar info. Please note that traditionally polished items may tarnish over time due to weather, normal use etc and may require cleaning or re-polishing - we recommend 'Peek' (easily found on eBay).

VeloSolo Pre-Cut 40cm Riser Bar

VeloSolo 2024 Sale item! See SALE PAGE for latest price and to purchase!

This is our very popular cut-down riser. Not being able to find a riser bar in the required width we take NOS mountain bike risers and reduce them to a more suitable narrow width for urban use of 40cm. Additional wider 50cm option now in stock. This gives more space for controls/grips and a wider position compared to the more urban 40cm. Ready to fit with grips of your choice (40cm is not usable with 'lock-on' type grips).

These are professionally cut down by our UK engineers for a superb 'factory finish' with chamfered and machined ends inside and out. Finished in polished aluminium alloy or black. All bars have the VeloSolo logo laser engraved as with our Squeeze bars above.

Rise is approximately 30mm with slightly swept back ends. Stiff and strong and ideal for commuting and city use. Fits any 25.4 stem or use a Nitto shim to fit to 26.0mm stem or a Zenith 25.4mm to 31.8mm shim for oversize stems. Please see FAQ for handlebar info.

Note: 50cm SOLD OUT - however, we can supply these full size (610mm) or cut to your required length (without VeloSolo logo) - please email to order

Classic super strong chromed steel track bar from Nitto. NJS certified for professional Keirin track use. Curving forward flat section and deep drop. Available with width of 38cm or 40cm centre to centre. Fits 25.4 stem or use Nitto shim to fit to 26.0mm stem. Made in Japan with beautiful bright chrome finish and good old 'brown paper' wrapping. Yes, Nitto make lighter weight aluminium alloy versions of this bar (email us if you want one) but there is just something about the incredibly solid feeling, deeply chromed, reliable steel heft of this bar that appeals. On pulling it out of the brown paper wrapping you will know what we mean. Please see FAQ for handlebar info.

Nitto RB-018 Heat-Treated Bullhorn Bar - sold out and discontinued

Another Nitto classic, the aluminium alloy bullhorn bar with up-turned ends. Probably the nicest bullhorn out there and a neat alternative to chopping down that old Cinelli bar in the shed. Available in two widths of 38cm or 40cm. Fits a 26.0mm stem.

Nitto RM-016 Moustache Heat-Treated Handlebar - sold out and discontinued

A bit different to the above bars - imagine a drop bar with the ends turned back up. Consequently quite wide but with a huge range of hand positions and very minimal drop.
