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

What is the difference between Back-Roller and Sport-Roller?

Both models are waterproof, robust and equipped with the Quick-Lock system.
The Back-Roller is designed for the rear luggage rack and offers plenty of storage space with 20 liters per bag for longer tours or everyday use.
The Sport-Roller is more compact, holds 14.5 liters and is ideal as a front bag on a lowrider or for smaller bicycles.

What is the difference between the Sport-Roller and the Sport-Packer?

Both models are waterproof, robust, and equipped with the proven ORTLIEB mounting system. They are also ideal as front panniers on a lowrider or for smaller bicycles.

The Sport-Roller is the compact version of the classic ORTLIEB panniers with a roll closure. It offers maximum packing flexibility, can be compressed variably, and is ideal for everyday use and tours with changing loads.
The Sport-Packer, on the other hand, has a flap lid closure. This allows the storage space to be loaded particularly securely, and additional items can be attached on top. This makes it perfect for longer bike trips or structured packing.

Can the Sport-Roller Free be locked securely to the bike?

That depends on the mounting system used. Our Quick-Lock2.1 and Quick-Lock2.2 bags can be secured directly to the luggage rack using the optional QL2-Lock. The lock is attached to the upper rail of the mounting system and reliably secures the bag to the bike. However, the bag itself is not locked.

With Quick-Lock3.1, locking the bag is not possible.

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 Sport-Roller Free is therefore ideal for longer outdoor adventures in stormy conditions.
