Making something good even better—that was the goal when further developing the Quick-Lock system, which has proven itself millions of times over. The result is Quick-Lock2.2, which is even easier to use, even more comfortable, and even more robust.

• QL2.2 with higher maximum load capacity (12.5 kg).
• Adjustable hooks allow tool-free adjustment to luggage carriers with tube diameters from 8 to 16 mm.
• Switching between different bikes is quick and easy.

• Movable and rotatable QL2.2 locking hook with anti-scratch coating, freely adjustable and rotatable on the rail in 15° increments, adjustable from 10-18mm.
• Hook rail made of two-component plastic with anti-scratch function.

With this system, which was developed specifically for office bags, the main mounting components for the bag are located on the bicycle rack. This keeps the back of the bag free of protruding hooks and significantly improves the bag's carrying comfort. The familiar advantages of ORTLIEB Quick-Lock systems are of course also found in Quick-Lock3.1.

• Convenient one-handed operation
• Automatic locking and unlocking by lifting the bag by the handle
• Mounting rail can be attached on the left or right, as well as on horizontal or vertical luggage rack struts (up to 10 mm tube diameter)

• Extra mounting kit available for use of the bags on other bikes (item no. E201)
• Clamp set for strut diameters of 11-14 mm available separately (item no. E190)
• Bags with QL1, QL2, and QL2.1 systems can also be attached to the mounting rail
• Direct attachment (without mounting rail) is possible on the Rack1 and Rack2 luggage racks with integrated QL3/QL3.1 attachment (item no. 78101 and F78102)

Many luggage carriers from our industry partners are already compatible with the QL3.1 system.

The advantage for you: you can attach your QL3.1 bag to a compatible luggage carrier from our industry partners without the optional mounting kit (E201).

This mounting system for bike panniers is the further development of ORTLIEB’s milestone setting QL1 system. All hooks are adjustable to the rack without requiring any tools. Therefore, the panniers can be easily switched from one bike to another. The QL2.1 system may be upgraded with the anti-theft device.

Lock and Release

Automatic closing and opening of hooks by lifting the pannier handle. When the pannier is lifted by the handle, the two hooks on the reverse side are opened. Then the pannier can be hooked into the rack. Once you let go of the handle, the two hooks close around the rack tube.

Lower Rail

The lower hook rail is made of a two-component synthetic combination with an "Anti-Scratch" function. This reduces abrasions on the carrier and prevents damage to the rack tubing. The lower hook is rotatable in 15° steps and adjustable in height. All hooks are adjustable to the rack without requiring any tools and can be easily exchanged.

Upper Rail

16 mm QL hooks with inserts which have an "Anti-Scratch" function for 8, 10, and 12 mm (size 12 mm e.g., required for Racktime racks). In QL2.1, the reduction inserts are now attached from the sides and secured against loss. 20 mm QL hooks are optionally available for racks with larger diameters (17-20 mm) as often used on E-bikes. The upper mounting rail consists of one piece for higher stability. With models Office-Bag and Downtown, it can be adjusted to the left or right side of the bike rack. The assembly system allows the use of extremely flat nuts on the inner side thus featuring a level surface and avoiding damage to whatever you bring along. Optional upgrade with anti-theft device into the upper rail.

Since 2020, ORTLIEB has a new Quick-Lock adapter system that makes attaching bags to the bike fork simple, easy, and flexible. The innovative Quick-Lock S system is ideal for attaching bags such as the Fork-Pack or Fork-Pack Plus to the fork of a bike.

The S in Quick-Lock S stands for Small. The adapter is small and therefore also light, weighing only 85 g. Despite its minimal weight, the QLS system is extremely robust. The simple and quick mounting and removal of bags is possible with one hand in seconds.
The QLS can be mounted on forks with designated screw mounts, as well as on forks without special screw mounts

The Fork

Your fork needs either at least a screw fixation or a constant diameter to securely attach the adapter to the wheel with our mounting system. You need 15cm of space on the fork, which should have a diameter between 30 and 42 mm.
Attention: If there are no screw fixings, the adapter cannot be used on carbon forks and not on conical tubes.

Included in the Adapter Kit

The Quick-Lock S adapter itself comes with the adapter plate to be fixed to the bike and the mounting accessories, such as screws and two metal mounting straps for forks without screw fixings. Of course, the adapter also comes with detailed instructions.
All ORTLIEB bags that use the Quick-Lock S already come with the complete adapter set. You need the adapter itself only as a replacement or, for example, for use on a second bike.

Tips and Tricks

Some bikes have angled screw fixings on the forks, which can lead to the fact that a bag mounted with the QLS could hang in the spokes. For this, we have developed an adapter for the adapter, which ensures that you can use our Fork-Packs even under these conditions. The 45° to 30° adapter is not included with the Fork-Packs or the adapter system (E235) and must be ordered separately.
The QLS system can be mounted not only on the front fork but also on the handlebar stem of scooters.
