Know before you buy
These cubes are specifically designed to fit the dimensions of the ORTLIEB Back-Roller, Velo-Shopper, and Bike-Packer series. They stack vertically to maximize the internal volume of these specific bags.
Yes, the modular design allows you to use each cube individually. They function well as standalone organizers for gym bags, carry-on luggage, or general travel organization.
The integrated mesh pockets are located both inside and outside the cubes. They are ideal for securing small, easy-to-lose items like charging cables, toiletries, or multi-tools so they don't get buried at the bottom of the cube.
The cubes are made from durable, lightweight nylon, but they are not fully waterproof. While they provide excellent organization inside your pannier, you should rely on your waterproof pannier shell to protect the contents from heavy rain.
The set provides a total volume of 17 liters, consisting of two 6-liter cubes and one 5-liter cube. This configuration is designed to fill the standard capacity of an ORTLIEB pannier efficiently.
