Nitto was founded in 1923 in Tokyo, Japan and is a Japanese manufacturer of bicycle components such as handlebars, stems, and seat posts. For some time now, Nitto has also been manufacturing other bicycle components such as bicycle racks. Various Nitto components are certified for track cycling races, and the company was one of the first to outfit the Japanese Keirin races.
The “UI” in Nitto UI-85EX stands for “Ultimate Ideal.”
With cold-forged aluminium construction for strength and a polished finish for the classic Nitto appearance, the UI-85EX is an ideal threadless road stem.
