Highlights & Technologies:

QUICK-LOCK3.1:
With this mounting system, the main supporting elements are fixed to the luggage rack. Thus, there are no large, protruding hooks on the back of the bag, which improves comfort.
The QL3.1 mounting system allows for quick and easy attachment of the pannier. Simply position the bag on the lower mounting point, move it towards the rack, swivel it in from the left or right and securely attach it to both mounts on top. Removing the bag is just as quick and easy: Simply lift the bag by the handle and simultaneously swing it either to the left or to the right, done!
• Comfortable single-handed operation
• Automatic locking and release of the hooks when lifting the bag by the carrying handle
• Direct mounting possible on luggage racks with integrated QL3/QL3.1 attachment
• Lower hook can be rotated 360 degrees (in 24 steps of 15 degrees each) for individual adaptation to a wide variety of luggage racks with tube diameters of up to 14 mm
• Horizontal rack top remains free for baskets, trunk bags etc.
• A separate mounting rail is required for luggage racks without an integrated QL3.1 device (optionally available under prod. code: 2256975 (subject to availability).

Note:
The reflective design elements attached as decorative elements do not represent a personal protective equipment as mentioned in EU regulation 2016/425. Thus, they are also not covered by the provisions of the regulation.
