Item #1 Ortlieb Bike-Tourer Rear Panniers
Ortlieb Bike-Tourer Panniers ($295.00 Retail) Our Price is $251.00 with FREE Shipping
Bike-Tourer Panniers may Ortlieb’s classiest, best looking and most sophisticated design. These are "way cool!"
Waterproof? . . . Surprisingly so! A unique fold of fabric beneath each end of the lid very effectively channels water away from the interior.
Features: Large front pocket; Large incredibly bright reflectors; Large inner pocket, Carrying handle; Shoulder strap; Highly adjustable top-of-the-line QL-2 Mounting System; Very convenient access to main compartment.
Fabric & Construction: Made from highly durable polyurethane-coated nylon with a substantial inner waterproof coating. High-frequency welded seams provide excellent waterproofing and narrow manufacturing tolerances.
Colors: Available in one color only . . . Hazel/Black.
Volume: 38 liters for the PAIR (2319 cubic inches)
Dimensions: These panniers are about 15.7 inches tall. They are about 9 inches wide at the bottom of the bag. From midway up the bag to the top of the bag they are about 12 1/2 inches wide. The depth of the bag is about 6.7 inches from top to bottom. Because the shape isn't consistent from top to bottom, and the lid is rounded, three dimensional measurements do not add up to the stated volume of the bag.
Weight: 90.7 ounces for the PAIR (5.67 pounds)
Optional Accessories: Small Outer Pockets, Mesh Pockets, Bottle Cages, Pannier Carry System.
Observations: What do I think about the Ortlieb Bike-Tourer panniers? These are wonderful panniers for the more casual tourist who doesn't have a huge daily mileage goal. The stiff sides of the bag keep the main compartment from collapsing, so they hold their shape when empty. I think of someone doing a tour in wine country who wants to dress nicely when off the bike, so they can attend wine tastings, or dine in nice restaurants in the evening, wearing clothing that isn't wrinkled up from being crushed all day in a tightly-loaded soft-sided pack. These are also GREAT shopping bag and commuting panniers. Bags that hold their shape when empty are very easy to fill when grocery shopping, and these bags look so classy, that even a well-dressed business person will not be self conscious when carrying them into a professional environment. Would I take them on a fully-loaded transcontinental tour? Not my first choice. Because they always hold their shape, even when less than fully loaded, and they have flat sides and sharp corners, these bags are less aerodynamic. I worry that if I am caught in a strong head-wind on a long day's ride, that they will slow me down a bit because they catch more wind. Also, the stiffeners in the sides and lid add weight. A pair of Bike-Tourer panniers at 38 liters volume weighs about 2.25 pounds more than a slightly larger pair of Back Roller Plus touring panniers. For that fully self-supported cross country tour, I will save some weight for going over the mountain passes, and perhaps slightly improve my aerodynamics by using soft-sided panniers. For that wine-country tour, or a wide variety of in-town shopping and commuting uses, I don't know of a nicer pair of bags than the Bike-Tourer Pannier's!
Item #2 Ortlieb Travel-Biker Suitcase
Ortlieb Travel-Biker Suitcase ($190.00 Retail) Our Price is $161.50 with FREE Shipping
The Ortlieb Travel-Biker Suitcase is the perfect compliment to the Ortlieb Bike-Tourer Panniers.
Waterproof fabric, welded seams and a super heavy-duty waterproof zipper will keep your contents dry in an all-day rain.
Features: Large front pocket; Large incredibly bright reflectors; Large inner pocket; Carrying handle; Shoulder strap; Highly adjustable top-of-the-line QL-2 Mounting System; Very convenient access to main compartment.
Mounting Bracket: A special quick release bracket mounts to the top of your rack, and allows attachment of the bag above your Bike Tourer Panniers without using any mounting straps. The same mounting bracket will also work with the Ortlieb Trunk-Bag.
Fabric & Construction: Made from highly durable polyurethane-coated nylon with a substantial inner waterproof coating. High-frequency welded seams provide excellent waterproofing and narrow manufacturing tolerances.
Colors: Available in Hazel/Black or Black
Volume: 27 liters (1648 cubic inches)
Dimensions: These panniers are about 15.7 inches tall. They are about 9 inches wide at the bottom of the bag. From midway up the bag to the top of the bag they are about 12 1/2 inches wide. The depth of the bag is about 6.7 inches from top to bottom. Because the shape isn't consistent from top to bottom, and the lid is rounded, three dimensional measurements do not add up to the stated volume of the bag.
Weight: 60.7 ounces (3.8 pounds)
Observations: The Ortlieb Travel-Biker Suitcase is the perfect addition to the Bike Tourer-Panniers for that wine-country tour I mention in the Bike-Tourer description above. The Travel-Biker can be used with any other Ortlieb panniers, and also as a stand-alone rack-top bag without panniers. This suitcase style bag is perfect for packing crease-free clothing. I have had numerous customers use this for professional commuting. Carry a change of clothing to your office and only look like a cyclist when riding to and from work ‒ mostly ‒ you'll still have those tell-tale suntanned finger tips and spots on the backs of your hands from your cycling gloves! For the long-distance cross-county tourist, I prefer to save a couple of pounds on top by using a Small or Medium Ortlieb Rack Pack Drybag.
Item #3 Ortlieb Travel-Set Luggage System
Ortlieb Travel-Set ($525.00 Retail) Our Price is $446.00 with FREE Shipping
The Ortlieb Travel-Set is a combination of the Ortlieb Bike-Tourer Panniers, the Ortlieb Travel-Biker Rack-Top Bag, the Ultimate 6 Plus Medium Handlebar Bag, and the Anti-Theft Cable Device for the rear panniers.

Colors: Hazel/Black
Set Volume: 72 liters (4394 cubic inches)
Observations: This is all top-of-the-line equipment ‒ the ultimate tour set for that wine-country tour I mention in the Observations for Item #1 above, the Ortlieb Bike Tourer-Panniers.
Item #4 Ortlieb Trunk-Bag Rack-Top Case
Ortlieb Trunk-Bag with Ortlieb Mounting Bracket ($145.00 Retail) Our Price is $123.00 with FREE Shipping
Ortlieb Trunk-Bag with "R & K" Mounting Bracket ($140.00 Retail) Our Price is $119.00 with FREE Shipping
The Ortlieb Trunk-Bag Provides convenient waterproof carrying space on the top of your rear rack.
Waterproof fabric, welded seams and a super heavy-duty waterproof zipper will keep your contents dry in an all-day rain.
Features: Large Main Compartment with waterproof zipper; Reflectors on rear corners of the bag; two outer zippered neoprene side pockets; Internal zippered pocket; Integrated shoulder strap; Taillight mounting clip.
Special Feature: The top zipper for the main compartment is loner than the main compartment, and each end of the zipper has a fitting that clips to middle of each end of the bag. You can see the top zipper fold over the ends of the bag in the photos above. Simply disconnect the clips at the ends of the bag, and you will have very wide access to the main compartment ‒ very clever!
Trunk-Bag with Ortlieb Rack Adapter: The Ortlieb version of the Rack Adapter bolts to the top of your rack, and allowing you to quickly mount and dismount the Trunk-Bag. The Ortlieb Rack Adapter has additional drop-down side-rails, allowing you to use panniers while the Trunk-Bag is attached. The same Ortlieb Rack Adapter will also work with the Ortlieb Travel-Biker Suitcase.
Trunk-Bag with Rixen & Kaul (R & K) Rack Adapter: The R & K version of the Rack Adapter almost instantly clips onto the top of rear racks that have an evenly placed cross piece near the center of the rack. The Tubus Cargo Classic, Cargo evo, and Stainless Steel Cosmo rear racks work well with the R & K Mounting Bracket. There is a very slight and simple modification necessary for using the R & K Mounting Bracket on the Cargo evo ‒ a little built-in spacer that needs to be clipped off of the bracket. We can explain this adjustment to you if you purchase the R & K version for a Tubus Cargo evo.
Weight with Ortlieb Mounting Bracket: 38.1 ounces.
Weight with R & K Mounting Bracket: 21.9 ounces.
Dimensions: 13 inches long x 7.1 inches wide x 7.9 inches tall.
Volume: 8 liters (488 cubic inches)
Colors: Available in Red/Black or Black
Fabric & Construction: Made from highly durable polyurethane-coated nylon with a substantial inner waterproof coating. High-frequency welded seams provide excellent waterproofing and narrow manufacturing tolerances.
Observations: The Trunk-Bag with the Ortlieb Rack Adapter is the best choice for use when panniers are also mounted on the rack. The R & K adapter is much lighter in weight, and great for riders who need extra space for long rides without panniers. Since the R & K Trunk-Bag sits directly on top of the rack, it is difficult, if not impossible to use panniers at the same time as the Trunk-Bag. The exception to that is when you are using the Tubus Cosmo Stainless Steel rear rack. The Cosmo rack has a large top platform that is compatible with the R & K Rack Adapter, and it has a second set of top-rails, mounted lower on the side of the rack, where you can carry panniers without interference from the Trunk-Bag. Not all panniers work well on the lower top-side-rails of the Cosmo. Look at Ortlieb panniers for the best fit with a Cosmo Stainless Steel rear rack and Ortlieb R & K Trunk-Bag.

ABOUT TIME ZONES . . . MANY people call an hour early and sound surprised when I don't answer, so I have I decided to include this info! Eastern Time is two hours ahead of Mountain Time. Central Time is one hour ahead of Mountain Time. Pacific Time is one hour behind Mountain Time. Examples . . . 11:00 AM in NY = 9 AM, Mountain Time in Colorado. 10:00 AM in Chicago, IL = 9:00 AM in Colorado. In California, 8:00 AM = 9:00 AM in Colorado.
