Nicely light and large but a stripped-down version of other bags with the Quick-Lock2.1
It is the lightest version of the big backroller panniers but you are also missing a few important parts. If you want to close this bag, it has to be rolled all the way up. Too bad Ortlieb did not attach adjustable and far too short straps to the buckles. I bought and shortened a couple of extra carrying straps myself, and then attached them to the existing buckles. This allows me to make full use of the large contents and still close the bags with the buckles. Also, Ortlieb's anti-theft cables do not fit this model. You can also find a creative solution for this: a steel cable with 2 loops.
Pros & Cons

Go for the classic
Still regret. Didn't think I needed the shoulder strap. A therefore fine to take the city. Butre closure is less user friendly and also the inside pockets are just well worth the money on the classic.
