The E stands for Elegant and Eco. The Basil Elegance double pannier carries 40 to 49 litres, perfect for the market or the bookshop, and is made partly from recycled PET. Choose chateau taupe or estate blue, with a click-on MIK plate or strap-on mounting.

Highlights

• 40–49 litres total across two bags
• Water-resistant fold-over closures with strong Velcro
• Glass-fibre reinforced base for heavy loads
• Zipped inner pocket for wallet and keys
• Pre-fitted MIK plate or Universal Bridge straps, depending on version

Choose Green

Basil's Choose Green label marks bags made with more environmentally friendly materials. The Elegance fabric is made partly from recycled PET polyester, equivalent to 11 330 ml bottles.

Carries the heavy stuff

A glass-fibre strip reinforces the base so a heavy load doesn't sag, and the water-repellent fabric and fold-over closures keep things dry in a sudden light shower.

Compatibility & fit

MIK Plate versions click onto any rack with the MIK profile, or onto a standard rack once a MIK carrier plate (sold separately) is fitted. Straps versions use the Universal Bridge system, attaching to most rear racks with sturdy Velcro straps; you can add the MIK system later (sold separately). For heavy loads, a Basil Distance Holder or Spacer (sold separately) keeps the bags clear of your spokes. Need a rack fitted? You can book a workshop visit with Tune Cycles. Fitting is a separate service.
