ORTLIEB Manufacturer's Warranty for End Customers – 5 Years

This voluntary manufacturer's warranty ("Warranty") grants additional rights and does not affect the statutory warranty rights against the seller. The exercise of statutory rights is free of charge and independent of this Warranty.

Warrantor is ORTLIEB Sportartikel GmbH, Rainstraße 6, 91560 Heilsbronn, Germany ("ORTLIEB"), email: customerservice@ortlieb.de.

1. Subject matter and scope of the Warranty

ORTLIEB warrants that the product is free from material and workmanship defects under normal use. The Warranty applies worldwide to ORTLIEB products purchased from authorized retailers or online dealers or directly from the ORTLIEB web shop. It is limited to the first purchaser and is not transferable.

2. Warranty period

The warranty period is 5 years from the date of first purchase from a retailer or online dealer or directly from ORTLIEB by the end customer. The end customer is the customer who first purchased the ORTLIEB product for their own use — not for resale — from a retailer or online dealer or directly from the ORTLIEB web shop. The invoice or delivery date of the first purchase is decisive. Proof is provided exclusively by the purchase receipt or invoice. A repair or replacement does not extend or renew the warranty period; the date of the first delivery remains decisive.

3. Scope of warranty performance

In the event of a warranty claim, ORTLIEB will, free of charge:

repair the product itself; or
replace the product with an equivalent product if repair is impossible or uneconomical.

No further claims arise from this Warranty. Statutory claims remain unaffected.

4. Exclusions

The Warranty does not cover in particular:

normal wear and age-related changes (e.g., wear of surfaces, zippers, buckles),
damage resulting from improper use, overloading, or failure to observe assembly/care instructions,
damage due to third-party interventions, modifications, or the use of non-approved spare parts/accessories,
damage due to improper transport, storage, cleaning, or care,
chafing marks, holes, and tears caused by the user's own fault.

These exclusions apply exclusively to this Warranty. Statutory rights for defects remain unaffected.

5. Making a warranty claim

The first point of contact in warranty cases is generally the retailer or online dealer with whom the purchase contract was concluded. A direct claim to ORTLIEB is possible at any time and is not dependent on prior involvement of the dealer. To make a claim, please provide:

a brief description of the defect and, if possible, meaningful photos,
the product designation (and any identification/serial information),
a copy of the proof of purchase (invoice/delivery note showing the date of first delivery),
your sender/contact details for queries and return shipment.

ORTLIEB will confirm receipt and inform you about the further process. Processing will take place within a reasonable period after receipt of the complete documents. Contact for warranty processing: customerservice@ortlieb.de

6. Transport and shipping costs

Within the European Union, ORTLIEB bears the reasonable outbound and return shipping costs of the warranty processing. Outside the EU, ORTLIEB will assume the costs upon prior written approval. Please contact us before dispatch and await the return instructions. Unapproved chargeable express or special services will not be reimbursed.

7. Applicable law

This Warranty is governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the state in which the consumer has their habitual residence remain unaffected.

Trunk-Bag RC

£110

The waterproof Trunk-Bag RC pairs a sleek design with the Top-Lock adapter, giving you a uniquely fast way to attach it to your bike rack.

The initial setup on racks measuring 80 to 160 millimetres in width with a tube diameter of 8 to 16 millimetres is done in seconds. And even on the move, attaching and removing the Trunk-Bag RC is child's play thanks to the release handles on both sides.

With a 12-litre capacity and a 10-kilogram load rating, the bag is completely waterproof thanks to its roll-top closure, which doubles as a carrying handle once closed. That makes it just as suited to a quick trip to the shops as to a longer bike tour. The inner pocket with carabiner keeps everything tidy, even when the going gets rough. And whenever you need to leave the bike behind, the shoulder strap makes carrying it effortless. The Trunk-Bag RC is PVC-free and sustainably made in Germany.

Warnings and safety information

Risk of injury due to incorrectly attached products! Before riding, check that the product is securely fastened.
Risk of injury due to loose risers! Pull the carrying straps tight before each journey or stow them safely.
Risk of injury due to loose components on the product. Screws can loosen over time due to vibrations. Therefore, check the screws after 10 km, 50 km, 100 km and 200 km and retighten if necessary.

Care and usage instructions

Wipe clean with a damp cloth or clean with warm water and a mild soap solution. Remove heavier soiling carefully using a soft brush and gall soap.
Allow the bag to dry completely before storage.
To achieve protection class IP64 (6 = dust-tight, 4 = protected against water splashes from all directions), the closure must be rolled down 3–4 times and secured downward.
Not suitable for luggage racks with non-parallel rack tubes.
Do not store the bag rolled up or folded, as this may cause the coating to crack.
If the product is fully submerged, water may enter through the closure.
Store protected from UV radiation to prevent the material from fading.
Reproofing is not necessary. The fabrics have a waterproof coating and therefore do not require any additional chemical treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the Trunk-Bag RC manufactured?

The Trunk-Bag RC is manufactured in Heilsbronn, Germany, standing for genuine “Made in Germany” quality. Every production step, from material cutting to final inspection, takes place in our own facilities. Materials are sourced locally, regionally, or internationally according to strict requirements. Our high standards for raw materials extend the product’s lifespan and conserve resources.

More about Made in Germany

Is the Trunk-Bag RC worth the price?

ORTLIEB products stand for durability and repairability. The Trunk-Bag RC is manufactured in our factory in Heilsbronn, Germany. We source materials locally, regionally, or internationally depending on what meets our high standards. We invest time in development to ensure the functionality of every detail.

Thanks to long-lasting materials, the bag is a reliable companion. Its lifespan puts the purchase price into perspective, especially since we offer a five-year warranty on our products. A wide range of repair and upgrade options further improves the price-performance ratio.

Repair before replacement: Every product is designed to be easy to repair and can, in most cases, be serviced by our Customer Service team in Heilsbronn. This extends its lifespan and conserves resources.

More on durability and repair.

How robust is the Trunk-Bag RC?

ORTLIEB products are extremely robust because we use high-quality materials and permanently weld all seams. This eliminates the need for stitching or bonding, and all connections are at least as strong as the material itself. If something does get damaged, holes can be safely rewelded by us or by our authorized service partners.

More about ORTLIEB materials

How long is my warranty?

The Trunk-Bag RC is designed for longevity and often accompanies you for decades. To give you peace of mind regarding durability, we offer a five-year warranty on materials and workmanship. If the Trunk-Bag RC does get damaged, almost every component from straps to buckles can be repaired. Even if a model is no longer produced, spare parts remain available for at least ten years.

Our warranty terms
How ORTLIEB products can be repaired

Is the Trunk-Bag RC waterproof?

The Trunk-Bag RC is waterproof according to protection class IP64. This rating indicates:

The product is dust-tight and protected against splashing water from all directions. Even in very heavy rain and splashing water, the contents stay perfectly dry. The Trunk-Bag RC is therefore ideal for longer outdoor adventures in stormy conditions.

More about waterproofness

What is the difference between the various Trunk-Bags?

All Trunk-Bags are waterproof and use the Top-Lock adapter system for secure mounting on the top of the luggage rack. They can be attached with one simple movement and removed just as easily.

The Trunk-Bags RC and RC Urban feature a roll closure that also serves as a carrying handle.
The Urban version is made of a textile Cordura blend, offering an elegant and everyday-suitable look.
The classic Trunk-Bag, on the other hand, uses a magnetic lid closure, an integrated bottle holder, and an elastic cord fixture on the top.

Can I attach a rear light to the Trunk-Bag?

Yes, all ORTLIEB Trunk-Bags have a mounting option for a rear light. The mount is located on the back of the bag and is compatible with standard rear lights. In addition, a large 3M Scotchlite reflector ensures better visibility in traffic, especially in darkness or rain.

How securely does the bag sit on the luggage rack?

Thanks to the Top-Lock adapter system, the Trunk-Bag sits securely and stably on the luggage rack. An anti-slip feature prevents the bag from moving during vibrations or on cobblestones. The audible click when it locks into place confirms that the bag is securely attached. Despite its stable fixation, it can be released with one simple movement when you want to take it with you.

How does the Top-Lock adapter system work?

The Top-Lock adapter system is a universal mounting solution for bags and baskets on the top of a luggage rack. Two opposing clamps with non-slip inserts are adjusted once to the width of the rack. To attach the bag, simply press down lightly until the system audibly clicks into place. To remove it, press one of the release levers, and the bag detaches immediately. Non-slip inserts and special knobs ensure a secure and stable fit even on rough terrain. The system is compatible with almost all luggage racks with a width of 80 to 160 millimeters and tube diameters of 8 to 16 millimeters.
