Brand
Crane Bell Co.Osaka, Japan
Crane Bell Co. is a bicycle bell maker based in Osaka, Japan. Rooted in Japan's long cycling culture, every bell is made in Japan, with domes formed from two materials, brass and aluminium.
Crane is known for its sound. One strike gives a clear, crisp ring that lingers so long it is often compared to a musical instrument. A simple construction built to last and a design that never dates make it at home on anything from a classic build to an everyday city bike.
Built to Last
Crane focuses on the basics rather than features. A pressed metal dome, a spring lever under the thumb, a mount that grips the bar firmly. With so few parts there is little to go wrong, and the bell feels more familiar the longer you use it.
The material changes with the finish, even within one model. Chrome, gold, copper and Neo Black finishes are brass, for a deeper and longer ring, while silver and Stealth Black are aluminium and lighter. The easiest rule is to match the metal tone of your bar, stem and brake levers.
A brass dome rings clear and long. Chrome plated, gold, copper and Neo Black finishes are brass.
Silver and Stealth Black are aluminium. On the same E-ne, that means 38g instead of 53g in brass.
Flick the spring-loaded lever with your thumb. It is easy to ring even in gloves, and the lever springs back on its own.
Chrome Plated, Polished and Matte Silver, Gold, Copper, Brushed Copper, Brown, Neo Black and Stealth Black, with several finishes for every model.

Sound · Rubi Workshop
The bell is the smallest part on a bicycle, but it is the first part other people hear.
A bell that asks the way past someone in a narrow street should never sound harsh, yet it has to be clear. Crane bells strike that balance well. Ring each model in our showroom and you will hear right away how size and material change the sound.
Brass finishes mellow with use, part of how a bell ages with its bicycle. If you want to keep the original shine longer, choose Chrome Plated or Neo Black; for something lighter and lower maintenance, choose aluminium silver.

Crane Bell's signature model. A small 37mm dome, a band that fits 22.2 to 31.8mm bars, 11 finishes.
A compact lever bell with a big, clear ring for its size. A natural fit for minivelos and Moultons.
A 45mm bell that rings bright with a coil spring striker. Same size as the Mini Suzu, a different voice.
The largest bell in the range, a 57mm brass dome. For classic and touring builds that want a loud ring.

The Signature Bell
E-ne BellE-ne Bell
The E-ne Bell has a small 37mm dome that almost disappears on the handlebar, yet one strike brings the long, clear ring Crane is known for. A rubber-lined clamp band grips without scratching and fits everything from 22.2mm flat bars to 31.8mm oversized bars.
It comes in 11 finishes, the most in the Crane line: brass finishes such as chrome, gold, copper, brown and Neo Black, aluminium silver and Stealth Black, plus All Chrome Plated and All Stealth Black, where the lever and mount match the dome.
The smallest dome Crane makes. It sits neatly on road bikes, minivelos and city bikes where bar space is tight.
One rubber-lined clamp band fits everything from flat bars to the 31.8mm center of a handlebar, without leaving marks.
Chrome, gold, copper, brown and Neo Black finishes are brass; silver and Stealth Black are aluminium. Choose by sound and weight.
All Chrome Plated and All Stealth Black carry the same tone through the lever and mount, so the bell reads as one piece.

Compact · 45mm
Mini Suzu · Mini KarenMini Suzu Bell · Mini Karen Bell
The Mini Suzu Bell and Mini Karen Bell are compact bells with a 45mm dome. Suzu (鈴) is Japanese for bell. The Mini Suzu, a smaller take on Crane's original Suzu, strikes the dome with a curved lever in the classic way, while the Mini Karen rings brighter and lighter with a coil spring striker.
Both use a die cast mount for 22.2mm and 25.4mm handlebars, and suit minivelos, Moultons and classic city bikes where bar space is tight. Polished and Matte Silver are aluminium; chrome, gold, copper and Neo Black are brass.
A 45mm version of the original Suzu bell. The classic curved lever hammer strikes the dome for a ring that is loud and clear for its size, and the large lever is easy to use in gloves.
A 45mm bell struck by a coil spring striker. The same size as the Mini Suzu, with a brighter, lighter ring and a little less weight. Available in silver, gold, copper and black finishes.

Mini Karen BellMatte Silver, Gold, Copper, Neo Black and more
Minivelo · Moulton
Moultons and minivelos have short handlebars crowded with shifters and levers. At 45mm, the Mini Suzu and Mini Karen fit in the gaps and still ring loud enough for the city.
For a classic look with a visible lever, choose the Mini Suzu; for a brighter, livelier ring, the Mini Karen. If your bar is thicker than 25.4mm, go with the 37mm E-ne Bell.

Large · 57mm Brass
Riten BellRiten Bell
The Riten Bell is the largest bell in the Crane line, a 57mm brass dome. The bigger dome means a louder, longer ring that carries on busy roads and open streets. A medallion stamped with the Crane logo sits at the center of the dome.
A steel band mount fits 22.2mm and 25.4mm handlebars, and it comes in four finishes: Chrome Plated, Gold, Copper and Neo Black. It suits classic road and touring bikes with silver parts, and city bikes with brown leather saddles. The Riten Bell is supplied to dealers through Rubi Supply.

Build Match
A bell is the most visible small part on the handlebar. Choose the model and finish by your bike's metal tone, your bar diameter and how loud you want it to ring. Here are the four guidelines we use for custom builds at Rubi Workshop.
On classic road and touring builds with lots of silver parts, Chrome Plated or Polished Silver looks natural. For a loud ring choose the Riten; for something small and neat, the E-ne.
On builds with mostly black parts, Neo Black or Stealth Black keeps the bell from standing out. Neo Black is glossy; Stealth Black is close to matte.
Paired with a brown leather saddle, grips or bar tape, a gold or copper bell adds a warm accent to the cockpit. The E-ne comes in both polished and matte gold.
Minivelos and Moultons with little bar space suit small bells such as the 45mm Mini Suzu and Mini Karen or the 37mm E-ne. Check your bar diameter first.
