Ortlieb says:
From road, gravel or mountain bike to commuter bike in only 15 seconds – with the innovative Quick-Rack, you transform your sporty bike into an all-rounder for everyday use.
Transform your bike in no time at all from a lightweight bike for sporty tours into a transport bike for shopping and commuting – this way you stay completely flexible. Fifteen seconds is all it takes to mount the practical luggage rack and only five seconds to remove it again. The struts with a diameter of 10 mm support a payload of up to 20 kilograms. The Quick-Rack is of course suitable for use with all of our fixation systems so that you can combine it with any ORTLIEB bag. Thanks to the two hanging levels and a platform, you can also use and fasten panniers and a basket at the same time. The optional mudguards make sure that you keep dry and clean in bad weather too.
