• The Ortlieb Ultimate 5 Classic Medium Handlebar Bag is Ortlieb's standard waterproof handlebar Pack.
• The Ortlieb Ultimate 5 Classic Medium has the same dimensions as the Ultimate 5 Plus Above:  Height = 9.4 inches.  Width = 9.8 inches.  Forward Depth = 7.1 inches.  Volume = 427 cubic inches.  Weight = 23 ounces.  This pack is large enough for all but the most heavily loaded tourists.
• Size Large Dimensions:  Height = 9.4 inches.  Width = 9.8 inches.  Forward Depth = 9.4 inches.  Volume = 549 cubic inches.  Weight = 24 ounces.  Fully loaded tourists may appreciate a bit more room.  The Large is about 28% larger than the medium.
• Made from waterproof and very durable coated polyester fabric with plastic stiffeners inside to help it hold its shape.
• Ultimate 5 Classic Color Options . . . RED, BLACK, BLUE, GRAY, WHITE  & YELLOW.  Please Note: Size LARGE is only available in BLACK.
• Ultimate 5 Classic Included Accessories . . . a 3M Scotchlite reflector patch on the front of the bag, an integrated inner pocket, and an integrated shoulder strap.
• The LOCKING Quick Release Mounting Bracket holds the back of the bag 2 inches from the handlebars.  The optional Mounting Bracket Extender adds an additional 1 3/4 inches between the handlebar and bag.
• The total carrying capacity for Ultimate 5 Handlebar Bags is 3 kg, about 6.6 pounds.
• All Seams are high frequency welded, providing excellent waterproofing along with narrow manufacturing tolerances.  You will be impressed by the high quality workmanship!
• OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES include an extra large fold-out Waterproof Map Case (pictured above), a padded Camera Insert, a Handlebar Bag Mounting Bracket Extender to hold the back even farther from the handlebars on unusual shaped handlebars, or to accommodate wide reaching brake levers, and an Internal X-Divider (pictured above with the Ultimate 5 Plus).  You can also get an Extra Mounting Bracket, so you can use your bag on more than one bicycle.
• I would never go on a long distance tour without my handlebar pack!  It is where I keep items I would like to access quickly and easily without having to get off of my bike - items such as my camera, energy snacks, tissues, keys, wallet, money, ID, passport, a map in the top window, etc. . . and I also use it for a waste basket.  When I ride up a mountain pass, I often find myself so focused on the ride that I don't want to stop for photos.  With a camera living in my handlebar pack it is easier to talk myself into pulling off the road for a quick photo opportunity - without having to dismount the bike.  I can just step down, straddle the top tube, take a quick photo and be back in the saddle in seconds - so I don't mess up the rhythm of my climb.  And later, I don't regret missing the photo.  If I need to take a restaurant or restroom break, the handlebar bag comes off the quick-release bracket, and STAYS WITH ME on the shoulder strap, so I don't risk having such critically important items stolen.  If you have not used a handlebar pack on your tours, you just don't know what you have been missing!
• PLEASE NOTE:  Handlebar brackets are not to be clamped onto carbon fiber handlebars, as they may cause damage that could result in handlebar failure!

What is the difference between the Ultimate 5 Plus and the Ultimate 5 Classic Handlebar Bags?  The Ultimate 5 Plus has features that are not on the Ultimate 5 Classic, such as the Plus Cordura Fabric, small mesh pockets on the outside of the bag (visible in the photos above), and an included X-shaped divider to help you organize the main compartment.  The Ultimate 5 Classic is made from the Classic fabric, has no mesh pockets, and the X-divider is optional but not included.  They both have included shoulder straps and both will accept the optional Map Case, GPS Case, Padded Camera Insert, and Handlebar Bracket Extender.  The Ultimate 5 Plus is the fabric match for the Plus series panniers, and the Ultimate 5 Classic is the fabric match for the Classic Panniers.
