Double city bag Basil MARA XL SPHERE 35L with Universal Bridge System, waterproof, black/grey

Basil MARA XL SPHERE is a double city bicycle bag with a total capacity of 35 L, designed for daily commuting, shopping and urban cycling. The pannier pair features a Universal Bridge System for secure attachment to most rear racks and is made from waterproof materials in a black/grey finish to protect contents from light rain and splashes. Interior space is organized to carry essentials, change of clothes or groceries while keeping the silhouette compact on the bike.

Advantages

The Universal Bridge System provides a reliable and tool-free mounting solution that fits many common rack types, keeping the bags stable during rides. Waterproof construction and sealed seams help resist moisture, while the reinforced base adds durability and shape retention. The black/grey design offers a neutral appearance that integrates with a wide range of bicycles and outfits, and the 35 L combined capacity balances carrying volume with maintainable weight distribution.

How to use

Slide the Universal Bridge mounting bracket onto the rear rack and lock it according to the system’s mechanism to secure each pannier. Distribute items evenly between the two bags to maintain balance and avoid overloading one side. Close all fastenings and check that the panniers do not interfere with the wheel or any lights. For heavier loads place denser items near the rack side and lighter items toward the outer edge to improve stability while riding.

Usage recommendations

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and allow to dry before storage to prolong fabric life. Avoid submerging the panniers in deep water; use additional rain covers if heavy continuous rain is expected. Regularly inspect the mounting points and reinforced base for wear and ensure the Universal Bridge is tightened before each ride.
