ORTLIEB Back-Roller QL2.1 40 L

The Ortlieb Back-Roller QL2.1 40 L is a pair of rear panniers built for cyclists who need reliable, weatherproof storage — whether for a daily commute or a fully loaded touring trip. Each pannier holds 20 litres and can carry up to 9 kg, allowing you to distribute weight evenly across both sides of the rack. Mounting is handled by Ortlieb's QL2.1 quick-lock system, which clips onto and off the rack without any tools in just a couple of seconds. Reducer inserts for 8, 10 and 12 mm tubes come in the box, making the panniers compatible with virtually all standard racks up to 16 mm tube diameter. The roll closure seals the main compartment to an IP64 waterproof rating, meaning your belongings stay dry even in sustained downpours. The front and rear panels are made from PD620 — a tough, abrasion-resistant fabric — while the sides use PS490 nylon for everyday resilience. 3M Scotchlite reflectors are integrated into each pannier to improve visibility in low-light conditions, whether you're riding in the city or on open roads. An interior pocket helps you keep smaller items organised inside the main compartment, and the removable shoulder strap means you can sling the pannier over your shoulder once you arrive at your destination. Made in Germany with a 5-year warranty, these panniers are built to last.
