Frequently Asked Questions

Which handlebar mount is right for me?

That depends on your bike. For classic handlebars, the standard adapter is suitable — it is stable and easy to install. If you want to secure your bag further, choose the version with a lock. For e-bikes with a display in the center, the e-bike mount is ideal because it offers more space.

If you want to use your bag on different bikes with only one mount, you can also use the Mounting-Set QR, which is not permanently attached to the bike.

If you already have an ORTLIEB or Rixen & Kaul mount, you usually do not need to buy an additional one. However, check compatibility beforehand using our compatibility overview.

More about waterproofness

Is the Up-Town quick to open and close?

Yes, the practical lid can be lifted at the front without opening it completely. This allows you to quickly access your wallet or keys. In good weather, the lid can be folded back completely and stowed in the basket.

What is the difference between the Up-Town models?

All Up-Town models have a 17.5 liter capacity, are waterproof, and maintain their shape.

The regular Up-Town variants are mounted on the handlebar and are designed for loads up to 5 kg. They use the proven ORTLIEB handlebar mounts, which can also be lockable depending on the model.
The Up-Town Rack, on the other hand, is mounted on the luggage rack with the Top-Lock system and carries up to 10 kg.
Both variants are also available in the Urban version, whose Cordura material with its coarser structure provides a particularly high-quality, urban look.

How is the Up-Town mounted on the bike?

The classic Up-Town and the Up-Town Urban are mounted via a handlebar mount that provides a secure hold and can be easily removed.
The Up-Town Rack models use the ORTLIEB Top-Lock system. This is mounted once on the luggage rack and allows the basket to be attached and removed with a single movement.
