Fuji Nitto Handlebar Grip Space: Keep the 660 mm Width Separate
Total handlebar width does not tell you how much room remains for grips and controls. Fuji Nitto handlebar grip space is a useful example: the B802AAF-FJKBN retains a 660 mm overall width while changing the centre section. An existing grip-and-lever arrangement therefore needs its own layout check rather than a decision based only on the width label.
Fuji Nitto handlebar grip space around the changed centre
Fuji’s July 2025 announcement identifies the collaboration bar as B802AAF-FJKBN, based on Nitto’s B802AAF. It says the straight centre section was lengthened from 110 to 130 mm, while the 660 mm total width was retained. The alteration is in the bar’s internal layout, not an increase in overall width.
The same explanation says the grip sections become somewhat shorter and recommends grips of 120 mm or less. Retain that as the manufacturer’s recommendation for this particular bar. It does not establish the usable length of every curved section or guarantee that any combination of controls and a 120 mm grip will fit.
Lay out the actual control package
Identify the grips, brake levers and any shifter that the bicycle will retain. Ask a competent installer to check their required mounting spaces and interfaces on the actual bar. A single-speed bicycle and a geared bicycle do not necessarily need the same amount of control room.
Keep clamp positions within the applicable component instructions. Do not count a bend as extra straight mounting space or move a lever somewhere unsuitable merely to preserve a favourite long grip. The overall 660 mm dimension cannot approve those local contact points.
Assess the complete change before buying accessories
Bring the existing control identifiers and the intended grip length to the enquiry. Ask whether the whole arrangement can be fitted while preserving practical hand positions, brake access and an unobstructed cable route. Buy the accessory around that confirmed arrangement, rather than trimming a new grip before the controls have been checked.
The announcement’s examples on Fuji bicycles are not a universal compatibility list, and its historical launch details do not establish current availability. This guide provides no cutting instruction. It explains the dimensional distinction that should be resolved before a handlebar or grip purchase is finalised.
Fuji Nitto handlebar grip space FAQ
Did the collaboration increase the bar’s overall width?
The announcement retains 660 mm overall width while extending the straight centre section from 110 to 130 mm.
Does a 120 mm grip automatically complete the fit check?
No. That is the stated recommendation; the actual lever, shifter and grip arrangement still needs assessment.
Can unused-looking curved space be counted as clamp room?
Do not assume it is suitable. Follow the actual handlebar and control mounting instructions.
For context outside this local control-space measurement, continue to the Fuji directory topic and bicycle-family overview.
Plan Fuji Nitto handlebar grip space from the local straight sections and actual controls, keeping total width as a separate measurement.
