Handlebar Bags

Overview

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.

There are the existing types:

ORTLIEB handlebar mounting set with a compact black bracket, designed for attaching accessories or bags to a bicycle handlebar. Handlebar Mounting Set
ORTLIEB handlebar mounting system bar-lock with adjustable straps and designed for quick attachment of handlebar-bags Bar-Lock

The UItimate mounting set must not be used on carbon handle bars.

For strongly bent comfort handle bars (e.g. Modolo or Humpert) we recommend the mounting set extension (article code E165). The steel cable is 25 cm (10 in.) longer than the regular version.
