Up-Town

That depends on your bike. For classic handlebars, the standard adapter is suitable — it is stable and easy to install. If you want to secure your bag further, choose the version with a lock. For e-bikes with a display in the center, the e-bike mount is ideal because it offers more space.

If you want to use your bag on different bikes with only one mount, you can also use the Mounting-Set QR, which is not permanently attached to the bike.

If you already have an ORTLIEB or Rixen & Kaul mount, you usually do not need to buy an additional one. However, check compatibility beforehand using our compatibility overview.

More on durability and repair.

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.
