Basil rear bicycle basket Capri Flex — steel, 420×330×190 mm

The Basil rear bicycle basket Capri Flex is a steel-mounted carrier basket sized 420 × 330 × 190 mm for rear rack installation. It provides a compact but sturdy cargo area for everyday items, shopping or commuting. The basket’s fine-mesh steel construction combines load support with open ventilation and resists deformation during normal use. Chamfered top edges reduce the risk of contact with the rider’s legs while pedaling, and the design includes recesses that simplify attachment and alignment on most standard rear luggage carriers.

Advantages

This steel basket offers a balance of durability and practical design: robust fine-mesh steel body for consistent support, chamfered rim for safer leg clearance, and a mounting system that enables quick fitting and removal. Installation is flexible thanks to a combination of a spring clip and adjustable hooks, allowing secure fastening on a wide range of rear racks. The compact external dimensions make it suitable for smaller loads while still providing reliable day-to-day cargo capacity.

Suitable for

• Grocery shopping and small market runs
• Daily commuting items such as a bag, lunch or small parcel
• Errands and short trips around town
• Carrying school or work accessories on city bikes

How to use

Place the basket on the rear luggage carrier and align the recessed mounting points with the carrier rails. Secure the basket using the spring clip to hold it in position and then fasten the adjustable hooks to the rack to prevent movement. Check that the basket sits level and that there is sufficient clearance for the rider’s legs. To remove the basket, release the hooks and spring clip and lift the basket off the carrier. Regularly inspect attachment points and coating for signs of wear and retighten hooks if necessary.

Usage recommendations

Do not exceed the recommended load capacity of your bicycle’s rear rack. Distribute weight evenly in the basket, avoid carrying loose small items without containment, and periodically check fastenings for security. For longer rides or rough terrain reduce load to maintain safe handling.
