Our mounting systems in comparison

The QL mounting systems on ORTLIEB panniers allow fast and secure mounting on racks. They are referred to as self-locking fixing systems, for the panniers provided with this system can be mounted to the racks in an easy and safe manner. In case of damage all components can be replaced easily.

Quick-Lock2.2

Making good things even better – that was the goal in developing the Quick-Lock system, proven millions of times over. The result is Quick-Lock2.2, even easier to handle, more comfortable, and more robust.

Quick-Lock3.1

The QL3.1 system is especially developed for office and city bags an its secret lies in the fact that the main mounting components stay on the rack. This results in a smooth rear side of the bag that is free of protruding hooks, and significantly improves the bag’s carrying comfort when off the bike.

Quick-Lock2.1

This mounting system for bike panniers is the further development of ORTLIEB’s milestone setting QL1 system. All hooks are adjustable to the rack without requiring any tools. Therefore, the panniers can be easily switched from one bike to another.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do the different Back-Roller models differ?

All Back-Roller models are waterproof and extremely durable. The main differences are in the material, features, design, and volume. Many models are available individually or as a pair. The product image always shows the correct quantity, and a corresponding note can be found on the product page.

Models with the additions Plus, Plus CR, or Urban are made from a single-sided coated material. It is just as waterproof as the classic tarp material but looks more textile-like and elegant.
The Free models, like the Urban and Plus variants, are completely PVC-free while still retaining the typical feel of the tarp material.
For the Back-Roller Plus and Back-Roller Plus Urban, the “Plus” refers to the additional outer pocket. Both bags have a textile appearance.
The XL models offer 35 liters of storage space per bag and are particularly suitable for long tours or for anyone who likes to carry more luggage.
The Back-Roller Core is the entry-level model. It focuses on the essentials, is waterproof and robust, and does not include a shoulder strap or an inner pocket.

Most models feature the popular Quick-Lock2.1 mounting system. Some variants use alternative systems, which you can compare on our Quick-Lock overview page.
