Sea Otter 2018 – ORTLIEB

The ORTLIEB bikepacking line (PVC-free and made in Germany) is growing, and they offer the following new products: Gravel-Pack, Seat-Pack M, Handlebar-Pack S, Frame-Pack Toptube and Cockpit-Pack.

The Frame-Pack Toptube is the ideal solution for those who want to bring along a drinking bottle and still wish to store baggage in the frame triangle. The waterproof frame pack is perfect for full suspension mountain bikes with shock absorbers limiting space inside the frame triangle. This bag of ORTLIEB‘s bikepacking collection features a waterproof zipper with IP67 standard keeping gear dry even during river crossings. The Frame-Pack Toptube has a 4 L volume permitting storage of heavy equipment such as tent poles, tools or food in the frame triangle thus keeping the center of gravity low. Stable and strong Velcro closures allow simple and easy mounting of the pack to the top or seat tube of your bicycle.

The Cockpit-Pack is ideal for quickly accessing a snack or your mobile phone during cycling. The super lightweight waterproof bag (82g/2.9 oz.) is fixed using strong Velcro on the top tube and head or seat tube – both positions are possible. Thanks to the internal stiffeners the bag can be easily opened with one hand, and it also keeps its shape. All contents are immediately visible due to the large opening.

The Handlebar-Pack S is a compact handlebar roll (width 400mm/15.7 in.) for your next offroad adventure with the gravel grinder. The waterproof handlebar pack in size S is ideal for all riders with offroad drop bars, race or cross handlebars with the focus of weight optimization. A two-way roll closure allows easy access to the contents and ensures dry and clean transport of your gear. The Handlebar-Pack S makes the weight and load distribution on the bike easy, e.g., sleeping bag and mattress can be ideally stowed inside the small handlebar pack since they are bulky but lightweight. The pack has a diameter of 170 mm/6.7 in. and offers 9 L/549 cu. in. volume. Its small width provides enough space for your hands – in any position – on the bar. Spacers and two straps ensure secure fixing to various handlebar types. Also, an internal plastic stiffener and a fixing to the head tube provide the required stability. The pack is fixed using Velcro straps. The luggage roll features hooks for fixing the Accessory-Pack (available as optional accessory).

The Seat-Pack M is compact but still quite large, ideal for bikepacking, your next micro adventure or the next gravel grinder or MTB trip. With 11 liters/ 671 cu.in. volume the waterproof Seat-Pack M offers enough storage capacity for everything you need to bring along. The pack is fixed to the saddle rails and seat post. A simple, strong Velcro is sufficient for fixing it to the seatpost, only 6 cm/ 2.4 in. mounting height is required; therefore the pack is perfect for small frames, fullies or bikes with a dropper post. A valve and adjustable straps assist in quick and easy compression when packing the bag. A sturdy internal stiffener ensures safe transport of your gear also in offroad use. The reinforced fabric at contact points with the saddle and mountings on the saddle rails keep the Seat-Pack M in the correct position. Also, the saddlebag acts like a mudguard.
