Beautiful bags for small luggage

- Peter, 5 March, 2025

Nice panniers to carry a few things. Not so big that you can carry weekly groceries. High-quality material, smooth on the outside which is easy to clean. Inside is soft lining. The double folding of the top is also easy, making it unnecessary to close it. Mounting buckles are not so easy and get stuck after a while. This could have been better. The panniers protrude slightly above the rack. As a result, no passenger or wide luggage can fit on the carrier.

Pros & Cons

Beautiful colour
High-quality material
Narrow and high format
Mounting buckles
Protrudes slightly above carrier

Quickly delivered. Made of smooth foreign material only.

- Hans, 23 August, 2024

Didn't know it was a smooth plastic pannier. Not seeing it on the site. Good bag with MIK frame though. Delivered quickly after we saw the same bag in the shop but the fabric black version.

Pros & Cons

Fits the bike well
MIK frame
Strange smooth material

Compact beautiful bags that fit everything and that anyone can assemble.

- Dominique, 13 August, 2024

Great bags that can be easily clicked on thanks to the MIK system. The bags look small but their compact design means all your stuff disappears in them, including your chain lock. The design of the bags really appeals to me because whether your bike is black, grey, red, yellow or white, this is always possible.

Pros & Cons

Compact design but can hold a lot!
Design that fits over
Easy mounting
Sturdy bags

Beautiful but not convenient and not waterproof bag

- Steven, 2 July, 2024

With our pannier, one of the two halves was not waterproof. There was always a layer of water in it. So it is of little use when your bike is outside.

Pros & Cons

Looks nice
If there is a lot in the bag, it does not close anymore
Is not waterproof!

Too high a price for this quality

- Maarten, 23 May, 2024

Nice looking panniers and ideal in combination with the me carrier system. You can easily carry the bags with a handle. You can determine the width yourself by choosing to put the bottom of the bag in or hold it up then the bag is very narrow. Convenient Velcro closure Only downside is the quality of the stitching. I've had the bags for 1 week now and there's an extra pocket on the inside that's already broken. I find the quality moderate,.guarantee no idea. The opening could have been a bit wider, but then you also have wider bags so I don't find that a real minus point. All in all satisfied, only the quality is not what I expect from a brand like Basil. Surely a pair of trousers or a jumper doesn't rip after 1 week when the stitching comes off? Just bad.

Pros & Cons

Beautiful green colour
Lightweight (not too wide)
Mik system ideal
Not waterproof
Poor quality Basil stitching
The right bag is already broken inside

One of the two bags is not waterproof! So there is always a layer of water in it.

- Steven, 15 February, 2024

Great pannier to use, and looks nice. But one of the two bags is not waterproof so I can actually hardly ever use that one. (Don't feel like throwing it empty every time).

Pros & Cons

Nice (for panniers then)
One of the two bags is not waterproof!

The opening is a bit narrow, work bag is often wider
