Ortlieb Up-Town Rack 17.5L waterproof rack basket

Ortlieb Up-Town Rack: the handlebar basket, elevated

The Up-Town Rack is Ortlieb’s answer to the rider who wants the convenience of a front basket without sacrificing the premium aesthetic of their bicycle. Mounted directly to the rack rather than the handlebars, it sits steadily without wobble and turns with none of the steering interference of a handlebar-mounted alternative. The warm Rooibos colourway brings a softer, lifestyle-oriented palette to the front of any urban bike.

Access without opening

The central lid closure opens the top of the basket fully in one movement — no buckles, no zips, no delay. A side zip pocket provides additional fast-access storage for items used constantly on the go. The interior is clean and spacious enough for a full grocery run or a day’s worth of essentials.

Waterproof and structured

The PU-coated fabric keeps contents dry in rain and spray without adding weight or complexity. The structured body maintains its shape when empty, giving the basket its polished appearance on and off the bike.
