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.

Trunk-Bag RC

115 €

The waterproof Trunk-Bag RC pairs a sleek design with the Top-Lock adapter, giving you a uniquely fast way to attach it to your bike rack.

The initial setup on racks measuring 80 to 160 millimetres in width with a tube diameter of 8 to 16 millimetres is done in seconds. And even on the move, attaching and removing the Trunk-Bag RC is child's play thanks to the release handles on both sides.

With a 12-litre capacity and a 10-kilogram load rating, the bag is completely waterproof thanks to its roll-top closure, which doubles as a carrying handle once closed. That makes it just as suited to a quick trip to the shops as to a longer bike tour. The inner pocket with carabiner keeps everything tidy, even when the going gets rough. And whenever you need to leave the bike behind, the shoulder strap makes carrying it effortless. The Trunk-Bag RC is PVC-free and sustainably made in Germany.

How ORTLIEB products can be repaired

Is the Trunk-Bag RC waterproof?

The Trunk-Bag RC is waterproof according to protection class IP64. This rating indicates:

The product is dust-tight and protected against splashing water from all directions. Even in very heavy rain and splashing water, the contents stay perfectly dry. The Trunk-Bag RC is therefore ideal for longer outdoor adventures in stormy conditions.

More about waterproofness

What is the difference between the various Trunk-Bags?

All Trunk-Bags are waterproof and use the Top-Lock adapter system for secure mounting on the top of the luggage rack. They can be attached with one simple movement and removed just as easily.

The Trunk-Bags RC and RC Urban feature a roll closure that also serves as a carrying handle.
The Urban version is made of a textile Cordura blend, offering an elegant and everyday-suitable look.
The classic Trunk-Bag, on the other hand, uses a magnetic lid closure, an integrated bottle holder, and an elastic cord fixture on the top.

Can I attach a rear light to the Trunk-Bag?

Yes, all ORTLIEB Trunk-Bags have a mounting option for a rear light. The mount is located on the back of the bag and is compatible with standard rear lights. In addition, a large 3M Scotchlite reflector ensures better visibility in traffic, especially in darkness or rain.

How securely does the bag sit on the luggage rack?

Thanks to the Top-Lock adapter system, the Trunk-Bag sits securely and stably on the luggage rack. An anti-slip feature prevents the bag from moving during vibrations or on cobblestones. The audible click when it locks into place confirms that the bag is securely attached. Despite its stable fixation, it can be released with one simple movement when you want to take it with you.

How does the Top-Lock adapter system work?

The Top-Lock adapter system is a universal mounting solution for bags and baskets on the top of a luggage rack. Two opposing clamps with non-slip inserts are adjusted once to the width of the rack. To attach the bag, simply press down lightly until the system audibly clicks into place. To remove it, press one of the release levers, and the bag detaches immediately. Non-slip inserts and special knobs ensure a secure and stable fit even on rough terrain. The system is compatible with almost all luggage racks with a width of 80 to 160 millimeters and tube diameters of 8 to 16 millimeters.
