IT HAS POCKETS! - New Updates to the Ortlieb Backroller Plus

[@VainqueurRoy]

Basically it’s the backroller with outer pocket. 🤔…Nice 👍

[@TheBikeLife]

Interesting updates! I have an older classic urban roller that doesn't even have the central top buckle, just the left and right side rolltop buckles, so I never ran into the issue with flop down. It's cool how consistent they have kept it, and goes to show the power of good design!

[@urbane-cyclist]

Definitely! These upgrades do seem minor, but it's true, those are the kind of things that are really awesome for improving your quality of life while using the panniers.

I used a piece of adhesive velcro to keep the buckle from flopping down between the bag and rack.

[@cherriesnhoney]

wow these really super cool...first im seeing this brand and love!

[@urbane-cyclist]

Glad you like them!

Uh, nice update. The lack of an accessible outer pocket for tools or stuff that need to be accessible is one of the few grips I have with the Backroller.

[@urbane-cyclist]

Well we've got the updated Backroller Plus up for sale now if you want to resolve that gripe once and for all! :p

Do you have any idea when these will hit the market? I see they are on Ortlieb's website and I can't wait to get my hands on one! Also your general Ortlieb video has been so helpful, I've referred to it almost a dozen times. Thank you for making such a needed video.

We already have these on order for our 2024 booking but I'm not sure exact dates for widespread availability. These should be available early next year!

[@Hannah-cy3ri]

Not too long of a wait then thank you! @@urbane-cyclist

Is there any back padding to use the inside sleeve to store a laptop without damaging it?

[@urbane-cyclist]

The organizer pocket is quite minimal- I would suggest at least using a padded sleeve or picking up the commuter insert! Alternately Ortlieb make a large range of more commuter type bags that come with more organizational features and padding www.ucycle.com/ortlieb-commuter-insert-for-panniers.html
