5-Year Warranty

ORTLIEB-Warranty

The ORTLIEB warranty, limited to five years, is a voluntary warranty provided by the manufacturer. It grants additional rights independent of the rights granted by consumer protection laws. Should a product be replaced within the warranty period, the date of first delivery continues to apply to the five-year warranty period.

This worldwide, free of charge warranty of five years from delivery refers to material defects and processing errors. Scuff marks, holes and cracks caused by the customer's own fault are not covered by the warranty. Claims for defects due to normal wear and tear, improper use, non-observance of the assembly instructions, third-party intervention as well as due to improper storage are excluded. No warranty is given for damage due to improper care and improper use. As a rule, however, such damage can be repaired at cost price.

Consumer Protection Law

Important: The provisions of the ORTLIEB warranty, which is limited to five years, do not apply to claims arising from statutory consumer protection rights. These statutory rights are not limited by the warranty. Thus, the benefits under the five-year limited ORTLIEB warranty are intended to supplement and not replace the rights granted by consumer protection laws.

If a product is defective, consumers may in particular claim the rights under §§ 434 et seq., §§ 474 et seq. of the German BGB (German Civil Code). Consumers can choose whether to claim performance under the ORTLIEB warranty, which is limited to five years, or under their statutory consumer protection rights.

The first point of contact for warranty claims is always the specialist or online dealer with whom the purchase contract for the product was concluded. This warranty is subject to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.

90 €

Once again, the Back-Roller Design has dressed to impress. The Design Edition offers not only an impressive exterior but also proven functionality. Thanks to the Quick-Lock2.1 mounting system, this practical rear pannier bag is just as reliable as its single-color counterparts. Inside the bag, there is a fixed inner pocket, consisting of a spacious main compartment and a practical zippered mesh pocket. This allows you to keep your gear and utensils perfectly organized. For an extra dose of organization, you can combine the Back-Roller Design with the available Packing Cubes, Commuter Inserts, and Toiletry Bag. Removed from the bicycle, this special bag is easily transportable thanks to the convenient carrying strap. And for those of you who have fallen in love with the beautiful design but need two rear pannier bags, we have good news: the Back-Roller Design can be effortlessly combined with any single-color Back-Roller, combining style and functionality perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do the different Back-Roller models differ?

All Back-Roller models are waterproof and extremely durable. The main differences are in the material, features, design, and volume. Many models are available individually or as a pair. The product image always shows the correct quantity, and a corresponding note can be found on the product page.

Models with the additions Plus, Plus CR, or Urban are made from a single-sided coated material. It is just as waterproof as the classic tarp material but looks more textile-like and elegant.
The Free models, like the Urban and Plus variants, are completely PVC-free while still retaining the typical feel of the tarp material.
For the Back-Roller Plus and Back-Roller Plus Urban, the “Plus” refers to the additional outer pocket. Both bags have a textile appearance.
The XL models offer 35 liters of storage space per bag and are particularly suitable for long tours or for anyone who likes to carry more luggage.
The Back-Roller Core is the entry-level model. It focuses on the essentials, is waterproof and robust, and does not include a shoulder strap or an inner pocket.

Most models feature the popular Quick-Lock2.1 mounting system. Some variants use alternative systems, which you can compare on our Quick-Lock overview page.

What is the difference between Back-Roller and Sport-Roller?

Both models are waterproof, robust and equipped with the Quick-Lock system.
The Back-Roller is designed for the rear luggage rack and offers plenty of storage space with 20 liters per bag for longer tours or everyday use.
The Sport-Roller is more compact, holds 14.5 liters and is ideal as a front bag on a lowrider or for smaller bicycles.

How is the the Back-Roller Design mounted on the luggage rack?

With ORTLIEB’s Quick-Lock mounting systems, you can easily attach the bag to the luggage rack with one hand. Removing it is just as easy. You’ll find the exact mechanism for each Quick-Lock system on our overview page.
