ORTLIEB Quick-Rack Family The ORTLIEB Quick-Rack family gives riders a flexible way to add cargo capacity without committing to a permanent rear rack. Across the range, ORTLIEB’s q uick-release system is designed for 15-second installation and 5-second removal, making these racks ideal for riders who switch between sporty rides, commuting, errands, and light touring. The family includes four versions: Quick-Rack, Quick-Rack L, Quick-Rack XL, and Quick-Rack Light. Each model uses aluminum construction and is built around slightly different carrying priorities, wheel compatibility, and weight targets. Whether you want a balanced all-round rack, a larger touring-friendly version, a higher-capacity XL option, or the lightest minimalist setup, there is a Quick-Rack option that fits the job.

It combines quick installation, 20 kg carrying capacity, and flexible bag mounting with two hanging levels and a top platform.

ORTLIEB Quick-Rack L The Quick-Rack L expands compatibility for wider tires and broader use cases while keeping the same fast on-off concept. It supports dual mounting levels and a Top-Lock platform, making it a good fit for riders who want to combine panniers with a rack-top bag or basket. ORTLIEB Quick-Rack XL The Quick-Rack XL is the most heavy-duty option in the family. With higher payload capacity and compatibility aimed at bigger wheels and larger-volume tires, it is best suited to riders who need more carrying strength without losing the advantages of a removable rack. ORTLIEB Quick-Rack Light The Quick-Rack Light is the most stripped-back version in the range. It is built for riders who prioritize low rack weight and a simpler luggage solution, while still keeping ORTLIEB’s quick-release concept and broad bike compatibility.

Then mount the Quick-Rack directly on the frame with the supplied snap-in knobs. Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between Quick-Rack and Quick-Rack Light?
