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.
