Crane Suzu Bike Bell for City, Cruiser, Road & MTB - Fits 22.2-26.0mm Bars

The Crane "Suzu" is a charmingly vintage bike bell featuring a uniquely curved lever hammer. Crafted in Japan, the bell is available in both brass and aluminum alloy styles. Notably, the brass variant produces a longer resonance compared to other materials, creating a distinctive and rich sound that only improves with age as the natural brass develops a beautiful patina. Meanwhile, the color-coated brass and aluminum bells are designed to maintain their original appearance over time, resisting wear and fading.

The dome of the Suzu bell is 55mm in diameter, and its spring-loaded curved lever hammer allows for a clear, single ring with each strike, while enabling the user to quickly activate it in succession for a delightful “ding-ding” sound. Customers can choose from various finishes, including polished brass, Neo-Black, polished copper, brushed copper, and chrome-plated options. The aluminum domes are offered in both alloy and polished alloy (silver). The pricing may vary based on the selected finish or material, so be sure to select your preferred version to see the actual price.

For installation, it is essential to use a Phillips screwdriver (not included). Begin by loosening the bolt on the band clamp; the lower clamp features two slots that secure into the upper clamp. Use the upper slot for handlebars with an outer diameter of 22.2mm (OD) and the lower slot for handlebars ranging from 23.8mm to 26.0mm OD. Please remember to avoid overtightening the fixtures.

Founded in Japan, Crane Bell Co. Ltd. has earned respect for producing some of the most aesthetically pleasing and sonically beautiful bicycle bells in the world. With a rich history rooted in the biking culture of Japan, Crane is renowned for its bells that deliver a remarkably resonant ring, often described as crystal-clear, long-lasting, and even musical in quality.

The SUZU BRASS BELL features a steel clamp and is designed specifically for handlebars with an outer diameter of 22.2mm to 26.0mm. The natural brass model boasts a polished dome that is 55mm wide, offering a timeless look that develops character over time as it patinas.

When it comes to sound, the Suzu bell doesn’t disappoint. Whether you opt for the brass or aluminum alloy dome, you can expect a bright and delightful ring. Crane Bell prioritizes both pleasant sound and loudness—ensuring safety is never compromised for aesthetics.

The elegant vintage style of the Suzu bell complements city bikes and traditional road bikes alike. Its sturdy metal construction makes it far more durable than plastic-mounted bells, providing an aesthetically pleasing alternative to the conventional bike horn.

Installation is straightforward for most handlebars. Using a Phillips screwdriver, the Suzu can be easily mounted onto handlebars with diameters ranging from 22.2mm to 26.0mm. Additionally, the Suzu Mini model features a die-cast mount suitable for 22.2mm to 23.8mm bars. This bell is versatile and compatible with a wide range of bike types, including mountain, road, touring, cruiser, kids' bikes, and even e-bikes. The Suzu can also be fitted to quill stems that meet compatible diameter specifications.
