Ortlieb Quick Rack FULL REVIEW!

- Hey folks, in this video I’m going to present to you the Quick Rack from Ortlieb. I forgot to mention that this is not sponsored in any way!
What makes them (there is also the "light"-version) so special is the fact that one is able to mount and remove them in seconds! 15 sec. to mount and 5 sec. to remove. If one doesn't need it one can easily take it off and when one needs it it can carry up to 20kg (44.1 lbs).

Best review of the product on RUclips. I like how you actually show the rack with panniers. Other video just focus on the clamping system only
Thank you! I try my best to make the most informative reviews without making the videos super long!
@@jeremyw.465 Vielen Dank!
I just mounted the rack. Really easy to do. As to the spray flap; just take a piece of plastic e.g. an pet bottle, cut out and attach with tie wraps.
I love it. Got one in my local bike shop. Used it for my first 100km Overnighter. You also get a mount for lights with it. I used mine to Mount my Garmin Varia at the end of the rack instead of the seatpost where it normally is mounted.
You answered my question before I could even ask it. Thanks!
Really cool. I keep a rack permanently mounted, but O only use it like one time per month. This seems like a great option.
Thank you so much for this review. I ended up buying the quick rack because of it (instead of expensive Tailfin) and I'm very happy with it. It was good to see the up- and downsides.
I am glad my video was of help, have fun with it! Cheers!
Nice review.
But i would love to see how it clears the discbrake calipers, especially the one that attaches to the seatstay.
Thanks for the video! Great! Can you tell me how you adjusted the bottom clamps of the panniers you use? I have a bit of a struggle and can’t find any instructions. 😃
Interesting that you suggest it can be used across multiple bikes and so keep the cost down. I thought the exact same thing but when I checked with Ortlieb support, they do not sell the mounting kits separately so you also have to transfer all the mounting studs over which makes it no different to any other rack. I really hope they change this policy and start selling additional mounting kits. Other than that, this rack is awesome, rock solid even with fully loaded panniers.
Today I wrote to the customer service, the mounting bolts are sold separately. Not yet via the online shop but the SKU is E242 'mounting kit M5 and M6' and costs 7€ + shipping.
@@motourer That's excellent news! Many thanks for taking the time to let us know.
Tailfin is aiming at people who are doing events like Tour Divide or GBDuro.
This is for everyone else I'd say?I have one and it's excellent. 👍
thanks for this video
Yes, nice video! Fery usefull!
Appreciate the video. I am in the market for a rack that I can quickly take off when riding on trains. This may fit the bill.
Does anyone have thoughts or comments on the following: 3rd party or aftermarket racks when used on full suspension bikes. (This is quite common on Fat Tire E-Bikes) but I've seen
even acoustic bikes have rear suspension's on them and what I've heard and trying to get further feedback on is this: Rear Racks when used in combination with the rear suspension design
can injury the rider or damage the bike, or both, (at this moment I can't unpack that statement anymore, I'm trying to discern how common this opinion is held )
A Stevens bike, the man has taste 😁
Does your bike have 135mm rear hub spacing? Did the rack fit smoothly or did you have to stretch it very slightly to make it fit (maybe less than 10mm) on the mounts/eyelets? This rack reminds of the BTwin lightweight rack btw. :)
I have a rear hub spacing of 142mm an it wasn’t a problem. But Ortlieb states that it is no problem stretching or compressing the rack so that it fits your frame ;)
didn't expect to find Stevens Gavere in a random bike video :)
I even made a video about it ;)
@@jeremyw.465 no surprise you are in Germany. am from Ukraine and i rode old Stevens 3X and now own 2019 Strada 600. super fast city bike. but i lost this spring, summer and autumn because i am in the army for known reasons.
Je ne comprends pas, si tu n'as pas de filetage prévu 🤔 Il faut percer le cadre...???
While the SKS Speedrocker and the mudguard "add-on" for the Quick Rack are an option, I'd be interested if the SKS S-Blade mudguard, which is also mounted at the seat post, would fit with the Quick Rack?
Hey, I don‘t think that it is possible to mount the SKS S-blade whilst the Quick Rack is installed, because both are attached to the seat post and that wouldn’t be possible.
Do you know if you can use longer screws for the mounting points so one can use the same hole for attaching a mudguard stay. I only have one mounting point so would be good to be able to use it for both the rack and the mudguards
Hey, very good question! I will ask and come back to you but I can imagine that that is not recommended because it might well weaken the mounting points. That's why Ortlieb offers a mudguard themselves! Cheers!
Would you recommend to use that rack also for bikepacking or do you think its too weak?
Funny that you asked. I'm using it on a biketour right now!^^
And I'm also going to make a video about it so stay tuned ;)
My gravel bike has a carbon frame. Of course, the carbon frame has a 5M screw hole for mounting a luggage rack. Can this product be mounted on a carbon frame as well?
Yes that shouldn’t be a problem! ;)
What I don’t get is why the rack bed slopes backwards when the pannier mounting bar is set parallel which I assume is how it should be installed to ensure from an engineering perspective that the pannier fixing points are evenly loaded? Does you rack also slope or is it mounted so the pannier bar slopes?
If I understand you correctly you are wondering why the lower struts (Bar) to which one attaches ones panniers is tilted (sloped) when one installed it so the platform is horizontal!? That is the case so your heels don't hit the bags whilst pedaling.
would the strap for the seatpost having enough room for a D shape or earo seatpost ?
I have asked Ortlieb whether one can attache it to oval shaped seat posts, and they told me that is should fit, but I haven't tried it out personally...
Thank you for this video! What size of wheel do you mount? Is it a 29'? Thanks
Hey Stefano, I‘m using 28“ wheels ;)
@@jeremyw.465 Thank you! Mine is a 29x2,25 bike and I'm in doubt for the maximum clearance declared. Do you think I will not have problem with this rack? Thanks
@@stefanofranco2153 Ortlieb states on their website: „Suitable for 26” - 28” (limited suitability for 29” wheels - up to max. 2.35” tire width)“ so that should not be a problem ;)
So this does fit 700cc/29in tires??
Hey Tony, Ortlieb states on their website: „Suitable for 26” - 28” (limited suitability for 29” wheels - up to max. 2.35” tire width)“
Has anyone tried this rack with 29" MTB wheels? I'd love to move it back and forth between my 29" MTB and my 28" gravel bike
Hey, although I haven't tried it out it should be possible, at least up to a width of 2,35" with a 29", so Ortlieb states on their website. About moving it back and forth: At the moment I am working on an update video and I will also address that because it isn't as simple and versatile as I said in this video... You will need a similar back end frame geometry because otherwise you will always have to adjust the length of the strut to have the rack mounted level. Also depending on the frame width of your two bikes where the screws would be mounted you might also have to compress or widen the rack which I don't think is too good for the aluminum... Not that that's all, you also need the same seat post circumference, because if they differ you will always have to adjust the quick release attachement. So it might be a bit more difficult than I thought it was to switch it between multiple bikes... I hope I could help!
I use the standard version (not light) on a Kona Unit and WTB Ranger 29 2.6" without problem :)
Is theft a concern, seeing how easy it is to remove?
Yes, sadly I didn’t mention it in the video! I didn’t because if you just put your lock through one can still detach it but not take it away so it actually isn’t that difficult and no big consern!
Does it fit to fully bikes as well?
Hey Roland, no it doesn't that would be impossible since one attaches it to the seat post which doesn't move with your rear wheel ;)
Many thanks for your quick reply!
@@rolandzehentmaier196 For that look at the Topeak Tetra racks
Et p 🤔ur poser un bagage dessus et non latéralement dessus ????
I am Sorry but I can't figure out what your question is... If you could ask me in English that would be great!
Was für nen Fender hast du da hinten verbaut?
Die SKS Speedrocker ;)
Den kannte ich noch nicht
just as I was looking at my heavy steel rack that I only use to buy milk....
I want this but I'm scared to get one. The reason being that if it's thats easy and fast install and take out the rack it'll be just as easy for a thief to grab as well. I just imagine a scenario where I grab my panniers off the rack and into the grocery store and some bastard sees the rack being a quick release and steal it. Then when I come out from the store. NO RACK TO PUT MY PANNIERS HAHAHA!!
There actually is a very simple solution to that! Just put your lock through the rack. Then one can still unto the quick release but one will not be able to actually take it away! So go for it I am still a big fan and use it often!
Buy a Lockrockit universal U lock mount and a long shackle U lock like the Abus 540 Granit 300 mm and an extension cable and use that to lock both the bike and rack.

Too bad it's currently sold out everywhere :D
That is (sadly) true...
Not even the shops are able to order them!
I was so lucky that a local Bikeshop had one just hanging on the wall! :)
It's currently back in stock on their website :)
@@ich6885 Then I should have waited :D - already ordered it at Rose, and it will likely take them another 10 weeks... :D
This makes tailfin racks looks ridiculously overpriced :)
That is very true!
Oohhh yes 😅
Sad that there is no specific bag made for it
@@ulyssepinon9177 won't the new ortileb panniers work with these? Maybe their gravel collections?
@@ulyssepinon9177 1. I think that’s part of the idea: Use whatever you have or want. 2. Ortlieb has dozens of paniers and even some rack-bags in their portfolio. Wich brings us back to #1: You decide what’s best for your needs :-)
Nice vid. I would push the like button but it stands at 666 at the moment and I like Satan more than I like this video. I'll give it a like when Satan has moved on.
Hör doch endlich mal mit diesem "one" auf 😂😂 ansonsten tolles Video
Hi, warum denn?
Bevorzugst du "you"?
Ist beides richtig ;)
Great design and great review, I want to get one now 👍
