There are various ways of carrying baggage on a bicycle. Your choice will
primarily depend on the weight and volume of the baggage and on the
bicycle you want to use. Using a bicycle rucksack  is a convenient way
of transporting baggage on a bicycle. You can also use pannier racks or
handlebar bags, but some bicycle models do not allow the mounting of
these accessories. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, please
contact your bicycle dealer!

The load capacity of pannier racks is classified according to DIN in three
weight levels: 10, 18 and 25 kg. The load capacity is marked on the pannier
rack. Please mind the bicycle’s overall maximum load when transporting
baggage. If you fit your bicycle with a pannier rack, make sure it complies
with the DIN EN 14872 standard.
It is advisable to carry baggage in stable pannier bags with a very low
centre of gravity .
When buying pannier bags, make sure they are watertight so that your be-
longings are protected.
Some cross and mountain bikes without a rear shock can be fitted with a
pannier rack . Ask your bicycle dealer for the fixing points and suitable
pannier racks.
Another possibility of transporting baggage are handlebar bags. They often
have quick release fasteners for quick mounting and removal. Handlebar
bags are particularly suitable for valuables and photo equipment.
Lowrider bags fitted at the front of the bicycle are mounted to the fork by
means of special holders. They are a useful add-on for long tours. They are
well suited for heavy items, as they hardly affect the rider’s control of the
bicycle. Today, there are lowrider bags on the market that are even suitable
for being mounted to suspension forks. If you are in doubt or if you have any
questions, please contact your bicycle dealer!
We do, however, advise against fastening any baggage to suspension forks.
Make sure the weight of your baggage is favourably distribut-
ed when loading your bicycle. Heavy items should be carried
as close to the ground as possible. Handlebar bags and bags
mounted to the top of the pannier rack are only suited for light
objects.

Do not overload your bicycle (see chapter “Intended Use”) and
observe the maximum load capacity marked on or impressed in
your pannier rack.
Adjust the suspension fork and the tyre pressure to the addi-
tional load.
Baggage generally changes the riding characteristics of your bi-
cycle and increases your stopping distance! Therefore, practise
riding a loaded bicycle in a place clear of traffic .

Seat post supported pannier racks must not be loaded with heavy loads.
Keep in mind that when riding over a bumpy, uneven road the weight sub-
stantially increases (sprung mass). This has a significant influence on the
suspension performance. Furthermore, overloading bears the risk of frame
breakage! Therefore, do not load your bicycle with more than 8 kg!
With rear frame supported pannier racks the unsprung mass load increases
and the response of the suspension system becomes more sluggish.
For this reason we strongly advise against mounting pannier racks to full-
suspension frames.

The only possible and legal way of transporting children by bicycle is in spe-
cial child carriers or trailers . For more information in this regard, see

The child carrier   is fastened to the frame of the bicycle. The
fastenings are usually designed for intermittent use. The child carrier can
thus be fastened to any bicycle that is equipped with the necessary fittings.
Only use pannier racks for mounting child carriers that have suitable fix-
ing points. Do not overload your pannier rack and be sure to observe the
permissible maximum load capacity marked on the rack. Never exceed the
indicated permissible overall load of the bicycle.
Do not mount a child carrier directly to the handlebars! Seat
post supported pannier racks are not approved for child carrier
mounting. Risk of breakage! Full-suspension bicycles do not al-
low child carrier mounting.
