Basil Urban Load Rear Bicycle bag 48 L Polyester Black

The Basil Urban Load Rear Bicycle bag 48 L Polyester Black is a double pannier designed for mounting on the rear rack. Constructed from polyester with a water-repellent tarpaulin coating and a folding closure, it protects belongings from light rain and daily city use. The bag features flexible sides that can be folded down when empty to reduce volume, and it integrates the Basil Universal Bridge System for broad compatibility with rear carrier racks, including many e-bike racks and common mounting systems.

Advantages

The Urban Load offers a large carrying volume while keeping a compact profile when not in use. Water-repellent materials and a fold-over closure limit water ingress during short showers. The Universal Bridge System enables quick attachment to many rear racks and compatibility with systems such as Racktime and i-Rack/Carrymore. Reflective details improve visibility in low light, and the bag is available in multiple color variants to suit different styles.

Suitable for

• Commuting and daily errands in urban environments
• Grocery shopping and transport of personal items
• City tours and leisure rides where moderate weather protection is needed
• Use on regular bicycles and many e-bikes with rear racks

How to use

Place the double bag onto the rear rack and engage the Basil Universal Bridge System according to the rack and bridge fit. Adjust the position so the bag sits stably and does not interfere with the wheel or reflectors. Use the fold-over closure and adjustable buckles to secure items and compress the bag when partially filled. Fold the sides inward when the bag is empty to reduce its footprint for parking or storage.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain; the water-repellent material handles showers but is not fully waterproof for extended downpours. Regularly check that the bridge connection and buckles are fastened correctly before each ride, and clean the exterior with a damp cloth to maintain the water-repellent finish and reflective elements.
