Overview

A practical choice for commuters, tourers, shoppers and everyday cyclists who need generous, weather-protected rear-rack storage.

The Ortlieb Back-Roller Pair is a classic rear pannier set for touring, commuting, shopping and everyday cycling. Each pannier offers 20 litres of capacity, and either bag can be used independently on the left or right side of your bike. The PVC-coated polyester construction uses robust PS490 sides with reinforced PD620 front and rear panels for dependable everyday durability.

The roll closure is straightforward and secure: roll each bag three to four times and the panniers provide their stated IP64 protection, keeping dust out and protecting contents from splash water in every direction. The integrated inner pocket helps separate smaller items, while the large 3M Scotchlite reflectors on both sides improve visibility in low light.

Mounting is quick and practical with one-handed Quick-Lock2.1 attachment. The automatically closing hooks and adjustable lower sliding hook fit rack tubes up to 16 mm, with reducer inserts supplied for 8, 10 and 12 mm tubes. The hooks and lower rail include anti-scratch surfaces to help protect your rack, and the supplied shoulder straps let you carry the panniers off the bike. For touring, commuting or carrying a full load of groceries, this pair gives you flexible storage without complicated hardware.
