Overview
Our inspiring review is coming soon, for now here is what Arkel says:
This Pannier makes use of the Cam-Lock which is our patented attachment system. It allows you to securely attach or quickly remove your bike bag from your rack in a matter of seconds.
A plastic protector at the bottom backside of the pannier adds protection between the bag and the rack and will avoid any premature wear caused by friction against the rack. We also added D-rings for an optional shoulder strap. This is very practical when travelling at the airport or simply carrying your panniers around at the end of a long ride. Many small details make these panniers functional, durable and most importantly fun to use.
Features
Note: If your rack tubing diameter is bigger than 15mm (and up to 21mm), you will need the Oversized Cam-Lock.
