Bicycle Rear Top Case VAUDE 30 L, Polyester and TPU, 330×510×320 mm

VAUDE 30 L Bicycle Rear Top Case is a rear-mounted pannier designed to expand luggage capacity on commuter bikes, touring bikes and cargo bikes. Constructed from durable polyester with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) reinforcement, the top case measures 330×510×320 mm and provides 30 liters of weather-resistant storage. The bag features a wide top opening for convenient loading and can be used as a standalone travel bag; it also fits on top of compatible rear panniers to add extra capacity. A removable shoulder strap and integrated reflective elements increase versatility and visibility in low-light conditions.

Advantages

The construction combines polyester fabric with TPU-coated zones for improved water resistance and abrasion protection without excessive weight. The large top opening allows easy packing and access to contents, while the compact external dimensions keep load distribution stable on the rear rack. A removable shoulder strap converts the top case into a carry-on bag when off the bike. Integrated reflective elements help increase safety during night or low-visibility riding.

Suitable for

• Daily commuting and trips to the store
• Multi-day bicycle touring when extra storage is needed
• Commuter or cargo bikes requiring a compact top-mounted bag
• Use as a separate travel bag for short off-bike journeys

How to use

Place the top case on the rear rack or on top of a compatible pannier and secure it according to the rack or pannier attachment system in use. Use the wide top opening to load items evenly, keeping heavier items lower and close to the rack to maintain bike stability. When removing the bag from the bike, attach the removable shoulder strap for comfortable carrying. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and allow to dry before storing to maintain the TPU-coated areas.

Usage recommendations

For stable handling, avoid overloading the top case beyond its intended 30‑liter capacity and distribute weight evenly on the rear rack. Use waterproof inner packing or dry bags for valuable electronics during extended wet-weather rides, and ensure reflective elements are unobstructed to maximize visibility.
