A handlebar shouldn't impress you — it should disappear under your hands and let the road do the talking. The Cinelli Vai does exactly that, built with a geometry meant for riders who spend hours in the saddle without ever second-guessing their cockpit setup, whether that's fast tarmac or a less predictable gravel surface.

Made from double-butted 6061 T6 aluminum, the bar finds that balance point between lightness and stiffness that allows precise control without unnecessary weight trade-offs. The anatomic bend, refined over years of road testing, delivers a smooth transition between hand positions — from the tops to the hoods down into the drops — cutting fatigue on longer rides, exactly when position matters more than speed.

The matte black anodized finish rounds it off with a clean, minimalist look that fits without clashing on a modern race bike or a more versatile gravel build.

Why riders choose the Cinelli Vai:

• Premium construction: double-butted 6061 T6 aluminum for an excellent strength-to-weight ratio
• Optimized ergonomics: the anatomic curve delivers superior control in the drops
• Total versatility: available in multiple widths to match your build and riding style
• Cinelli aesthetics: understated design and matte black finish that pair with any frame setup

A component that isn't chasing a first-glance wow factor — it's chasing confidence after the hundredth ride. You'll find it in our Handlebars collection, available across all widths. For the full spec sheet and available sizes, the official Cinelli — Vai Handlebar page is the right reference.
