Backpack or bike bag? With the versatile Vario Urban, you don’t have to choose. Designed for seamless transitions, it switches between functions in seconds. One side features the integrated, time-tested Quick-Lock mounting system for secure attachment to your bike rack, while the other side includes a padded back panel, ergonomic shoulder straps, and a chest strap for comfortable carrying. A cleverly designed flap with an integrated pocket neatly covers the side not in use, maintaining a sleek and tidy look.
The additional zippered outer pocket provides quick access to essentials, while the roll-top closure allows easy entry to the spacious main compartment. Inside, a padded laptop sleeve keeps your tech devices protected, ensuring both convenience and security for your daily rides or urban adventures.
Crafted from elegant Urban material, the Vario Urban seamlessly blends timeless design with modern comfort. Like all ORTLIEB products, this versatile hybrid is waterproof, PVC-free, and proudly made in Germany—perfect for those who value both style and functionality on the go.

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.
