They are selling the 2016 model, but it's also waterproof and comes in different colours. I usually see them elsewhere for £90 to £100.

For a pair, bargain. Hot. 3% quidco too.

I've got these. Build quality is fantastic but the design is crap.
If they'd put opposite buckles on the roll tops you could have the choice of clipping to the sides or both together. Instead they are the same, loosing storage space and usefulness.

Would these fit on one of these - Topeak Beam - or do you need the side bits to clip them onto?

Afraid not. You'll need a regular pannier rack for these. They clip on top, and at the bottom of the rack.
It's worth it though. These will last for years.

Brilliant deal. Better than the later model.

Yes, this is a good price and the build quality is excellent, but do note that these are the *city* bags, not the *classic* bags. The most important differences IMO being
- Classic bag has a different mechanism to close it, over the top, whereas these ones get clipped on the sides after rolling. In practice, this means that its much easier to close the classic bag when its full/overfilled, whereas its much harder with the city bag
- Classic bag comes with shoulder straps
I'm happy with my city bags, but I was buying again, I'd pay extra for the classic ones just because I've ended up using them much more than I thought I would, they're that good

These are excellent. The build is really good and will keep anything in there dry. I also quite like that you can get spare parts from Ortlieb in case something breaks.

After looking on the Ortlieb website however, these models do not get supplier with them.

Good price, great bags. I have the back roller classics and a friend has these, both types have been great, look almost as good as new after 18 months of daily use and nothing ever gets wet.

I've got a pair of rebranded ortliebs (revolution welded panniers) but one of them has a hole in the bottom sadly so need to patch it up.
However tempting to buy another pair. Only thing is; what's the clipping mechanism like? Is it like on the revolution ones pictured below? That's the one thing which really stood out for me, the quality of the clips.
