Discover the Ortlieb City bike bags
The manufacturer of backpacks and panniers for cyclists and bicycles Ortlieb offers different ranges of products, including the "City" range , whose bags and panniers have been designed and sized for urban use.
These city bags will be used to carry your daily belongings, do your shopping, go to sport etc., they are generally sold individually because the need for volume is less important than in hiking/trekking.
The main differences between bike bags are:
- The volume which will vary from 10 L for the ortlieb city Biker bike bag to 20 L for the back Roller design
- The QL2.1 mounting system as on the Ortlieb Vario bag or the QL3.1 system as on the Ortlieb Single Bag . The Ortlieb 3.1 system has been specially designed for the city, it has the advantage of having most of the fixing elements directly on the luggage rack and not on the bag itself, the bag will therefore be thinner.
To better understand the difference between these 2 systems, this video will be very useful (it is in English but the images speak for themselves)
- Being sold in pairs like the Back Roller City bags or individually like the Bike shopper bag
- The type of closure by rolling up like on the roller city sports bags , by flap like on the Ortlieb Velo-Shopper bag , or by closing like the Ortlieb Single Bag
- Its weight and of course its look and color!
We will find in common on each ortlieb bike bag of the City range, the irreproachable quality of the bags, the impeccable finishes, the resistance, the durability, and of course the fact of being completely waterproof.
