The magnificent front roller

Ortlieb's front roller classic has a cult-status following as panniers for 20" folding bikes...

YOU won't be disappointed with the built-quality of the Ortlieb frontroller classic panniers.

These are the best the German outfitter can offer at RM480 a pair.

If you rig up your 20" folding bike, you don't need such a large pannier to go on trips that are less than a week in duration. As a matter of fact, some hardcore travelers have don't long-haul rides with just a pair of front rollers on their bike's rack.

The smaller packs holds some 15 cubic inches of luggage space and is rated at IP64 water proof. This means you can ride in heavy rain without worrying about the cargo contents getting wet.

A simple mounting system allows you to use the front roller on almost any bike luggage rack system.

What's awesome about the front roller is the robust built quality and it's five-year warranty.
