Ortlieb back-roller free panniers are 2 x 40 litre roll-top panniers. Made from waterproof and durable material, these versatile rear panniers have the Quick-lock 2.1 system which is secure and quick to remove.
Ortlieb says:
In keeping with its commitment to innovation, ORTLIEB has just introduced another PVC-free line of products made of a polyurethane-coated polyester fabric. The base fabric of the products in the Free Line is coated with polyurethane in a manner that ensures lasting waterproof qualities.
Our Verdict
Ortlieb Back-roller Free panniers each have 40 litre capacity. The fabric is very tough, durable and waterproof with reflective decals on the rear faces. The inside of the panniers has a zipped mesh pocket keeping smaller items separate. The Quick-lock 2.1 system is easy to use once adjusted to fit your rack. Set up instructions are easy to follow and worth taking a little time over to ensure the panniers fit securely. The inserts to adjust to different rack dimensions are a bit stiff to fit, but once in situ, they don't move. Removal of the panniers is easy with just one pull of the strap to release the 2 clasps. The removable shoulder strap is useful if you want to remove the pannier and carry it to and from the bike.
