The Velo-Sling Flex is a versatile shoulder bag. It can be quickly attached to your bike handlebars. It combines thoughtful design with robust materials and adapts to an active everyday life. The wide shoulder strap is comfortable to wear. It can be removed for greater freedom of movement when cycling or attached to the body of the bag. The Bar-Lock mounting system is used for attachment to the handlebars. This enables simple but secure attachment. The bag is equipped with daisy chains for additional transport options. The straps supplied can be used flexibly here, for example to attach a jacket or accessories. The straps also help to stabilise the roll closure when the bag is full. A magnetic closure ensures quick, one-handed and secure closing of the bag. In combination with the waterproof material and the reliable roll closure, your equipment stays dry and protected. Waterproof is standard. Inside the Velo-Sling Flex is a separate zipped compartment. This is used for the organised storage of valuables or small items. The bag is designed to be repairable and is made in Germany.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the Velo-Sling off the bike as well?

Yes, the Velo-Sling is both a handlebar bag and a crossbody bag in one. The wide shoulder strap ensures high carrying comfort and can be removed or stowed directly on the bag body when needed. This keeps you flexible in any situation.

How is the Velo-Sling Flex mounted to the bike?

The Velo‑Sling Flex is mounted to the bike using an ORTLIEB handlebar mount. The mount is not included but can be used with an existing ORTLIEB or Rixen & Kaul handlebar mount. If you don’t already have one, you can choose from several options:

The standard mount is ideal for classic handlebars - sturdy and easy to fit. If you want extra security, opt for the version with a lock. For e‑bikes with a central display, the special e‑bike mount offers more space.

If you want to use your bag on several bikes, the Mounting Set QR is a practical choice — it’s not permanently attached and can be mounted or removed in seconds.

Can I attach additional gear to the Velo-Sling?

Yes, you can use the integrated daisy chains to attach the supplied straps. This allows you to fasten items like a jacket or other lightweight gear to the underside of the bag.

How secure is the magnetic closure of the Velo-Sling?

The magnetic closure of the Velo-Sling not only holds by magnetic force but also clicks into place. This way, the bag almost closes by itself and stays securely shut. Combined with the roll closure, the contents are reliably protected from rain - even at high speeds or in dense city traffic.

Is the Velo-Sling Flex waterproof?

The Velo-Sling Flex is waterproof according to protection class IP64. This rating indicates:

The product is completely dustproof and keeps splashing water safely away from all directions. It reliably protects the contents from dust, sand and rain, making it ideal for longer journeys in heavy rain or outdoor adventures in stormy conditions.

How long is my warranty?

The Velo-Sling Flex is designed for longevity and often accompanies you for decades. To give you peace of mind regarding durability, we offer a five-year warranty on materials and workmanship. If the Velo-Sling Flex does get damaged, almost every component from straps to buckles can be repaired. Even if a model is no longer produced, spare parts remain available for at least ten years.

How ORTLIEB products can be repaired

How robust is the Velo-Sling Flex?

ORTLIEB products are extremely robust because we use high-quality materials and permanently weld all seams. This eliminates the need for stitching or bonding, and all connections are at least as strong as the material itself. If something does get damaged, holes can be safely rewelded by us or by our authorized service partners.
