Ortlieb Quick Rack Light

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Flexible use of your bike – with the Quick Rack Light your bike transforms from a sporty road, gravel or mountain bike to a practical commuter bike.

Ortlieb says: 

Riders who like a clean look and pay attention to every gram on their bike will love the Quick Rack Light. Weighing in at only 440 grams, it’s lighter than its big brother, the Quick Rack. Yet, when it comes to functionality, it is every bit an equal. With two stable side struts, it is suitable for all ORTLIEB panniers, making it extremely flexible. In no time at all, your minimalist and lightweight bike becomes a practical helper for everyday activities like shopping or commuting. In just 15 seconds you can assemble the Quick Rack Light and then remove it again in a mere 5 seconds. The struts with a 10 mm diameter carry up to 20 kg of luggage.

Our Verdict

Ortlieb’s Quick Rack (Light) is the lighter of their racks (as it doesn’t have the top rack) and is perfect for attaching panniers to the bike. It uses a quick release mechanism making putting it on and taking it off the bike very easy.
