Basil rear bicycle basket Base L — steel, 480×230×300 mm

Basil Base L is a rear-mounted bicycle basket constructed from fine-mesh steel with external dimensions of 480 × 230 × 300 mm and an internal capacity of approximately 15 litres. Designed to mount on standard rear luggage carriers, this basket is suitable for everyday use such as carrying groceries, a shoulder bag, small parcels or work items. The basket features recesses for a spring clamp and hooks for secure attachment, protective feet to reduce wear at the base, and a removable design that allows you to take it with you when leaving the bike.

Advantages

The steel mesh construction provides a balance of strength and ventilation while keeping the overall weight moderate. The spring clip and hook fastening system simplifies mounting on most rear racks, and the removable design reduces the risk of theft when you leave the bicycle unattended. Protective feet on the base reduce abrasion and help preserve the rack and basket finish over time. The neutral black finish integrates with a wide range of frames and luggage carriers.

Suitable for

• Transporting groceries and shopping bags
• Commuting items such as a small backpack, lunch or documents
• Short errands and city riding where quick loading/unloading is needed
• Use on different bikes with compatible rear luggage carriers

How to use

Place the Basil Base L on the rear luggage carrier so that the recesses align with the rack tubing. Use the spring clip and hooks to secure the basket to the carrier according to the rack profile; ensure the basket sits level and firmly before riding. Load items evenly and avoid exceeding the load capacity recommended by your bicycle or rack manufacturer. If you plan to leave the bike unattended, remove the basket and take it with you or secure it with a suitable lock.

Usage recommendations

For regular commuting and shopping, distribute heavier items close to the rack and avoid concentrating weight on one side. Periodically check the fastening points and protective feet for wear, and clean the basket with mild soap and water to maintain the finish and prevent corrosion.
