ORTLIEB Bike-Packer QL2.1 40 L

The Ortlieb Bike-Packer Classic QL2.1 is a pair of rear panniers built for cyclists who need reliable, high-volume luggage. At 40 litres total (2 × 20 L per pair), they handle everything from a week of touring kit to a full grocery run with ease. Mounting is straightforward with the Quick-Lock 2.1 system, which fits racks up to 16 mm tube diameter. Included reducer inserts for 8, 10 and 12 mm tubes extend compatibility and protect the rack from scratches. Because the bags are symmetrical, each one works on either side of the bike – or you can ride with a single pannier when you don't need the full load. The outer shell combines PVC-coated polyester panels at the front and back with nylon side panels for durability and everyday wear resistance. A drawcord-secured top flap keeps out dust and snow, while anti-tip feet at the base keep the bag upright when set down. Inside, a built-in organiser pocket helps keep small items from disappearing into the main compartment, and a shoulder strap with clip makes carrying the bags off the bike straightforward. Volume: 40 L (2 × 20 L). Dimensions per pannier: 42 × 32 × 17 cm. Total weight: 2,080 g (2 × 1,040 g). 3M Scotchlite reflectors. 5-year warranty.
