Velo-Sling Flex

Yes, the Velo-Sling is both a handlebar bag and a crossbody bag in one. The wide shoulder strap ensures high carrying comfort and can be removed or stowed directly on the bag body when needed. This keeps you flexible in any situation.

The Velo‑Sling Flex is mounted to the bike using an ORTLIEB handlebar mount. The mount is not included but can be used with an existing ORTLIEB or Rixen & Kaul handlebar mount. If you don’t already have one, you can choose from several options:

The standard mount is ideal for classic handlebars - sturdy and easy to fit. If you want extra security, opt for the version with a lock. For e‑bikes with a central display, the special e‑bike mount offers more space.

If you want to use your bag on several bikes, the Mounting Set QR is a practical choice - it’s not permanently attached and can be mounted or removed in seconds.

Yes, you can use the integrated daisy chains to attach the supplied straps. This allows you to fasten items like a jacket or other lightweight gear to the underside of the bag.

The magnetic closure of the Velo-Sling not only holds by magnetic force but also clicks into place. This way, the bag almost closes by itself and stays securely shut. Combined with the roll closure, the contents are reliably protected from rain - even at high speeds or in dense city traffic.

Die Velo-Sling Flex is waterproof according to protection class IP64. This rating indicates:

The product is completely dustproof and keeps splashing water safely away from all directions. It reliably protects the contents from dust, sand and rain, making it ideal for longer journeys in heavy rain or outdoor adventures in stormy conditions.

Our warranty terms
How ORTLIEB products can be repaired

ORTLIEB products are extremely robust because we use high-quality materials and permanently weld all seams. This eliminates the need for stitching or bonding, and all connections are at least as strong as the material itself. If something does get damaged, holes can be safely rewelded by us or by our authorized service partners.
