Product Information
Full details
The Ortlieb Back-Roller Pro Plus is designed for long-distance bike packers and cycle tourists who require maximum storage capacity without compromising on reliability. Offering a massive 70 liters of space per pair, this bag system is the ideal choice for those carrying extensive gear; however, users should note that while the main compartment is fully waterproof, the integrated front pocket is not, meaning sensitive electronics or documents should be stored in the main dry bag area.

FAQs
Is the front pocket waterproof?
No, the 4-liter front pocket is designed for quick-access items and is not waterproof. Keep sensitive gear in the main compartment.
Will these fit on my bike rack?
The QL2.1 system is highly universal and includes reduction inserts to fit rack diameters up to 16mm.
How do I clean the bags?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid chemical solvents as they may damage the waterproof coating.
Are these bags sold as a pair?
Yes, the 70-liter capacity refers to the pair combined.
Can I replace the mounting hooks if they break?
Yes, the QL2.1 components are modular and individual parts can be replaced if they wear out over time.
Troubleshooting
Bag wobbles on the rack
Adjust the bottom hook position or use the provided inserts to ensure a snug fit around your specific rack tubing.
Roll-top closure is difficult to seal
Ensure that the bag is not overfilled. Leave at least three rolls of material to ensure a proper waterproof seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, adjust the QL2.1 hooks to match the diameter of your rack tubing. Once the hooks are set, the bags will lock into place automatically when lifted by the handle. The lower hook provides a secondary anchor to prevent swaying during high-speed descents.

- Compatibility: The QL2.1 system fits rack diameters up to 16mm, with included inserts for thinner tubing.
