Lyon Equipment set to unveil fresh ORTLIEB luggage line at CIN LIVE 2026

Lyon Equipment, the UK distributor behind a host of outdoor and cycling brands, has confirmed it will use next year’s CIN LIVE trade show to introduce a brand-new collection of ORTLIEB waterproof bags to the British market.

Details remain under wraps for now, but the German luggage specialist is expected to debut bags built around a newly developed proprietary closure or material system, continuing its reputation for rugged, weatherproof carrying solutions favoured by commuters, tourers and bikepackers alike.

CIN LIVE, the trade-focused event run by Cycling Industry News, has become a key fixture for UK bike shops and buyers to get an early look at upcoming ranges before they hit shop floors. Lyon Equipment’s presence there suggests the new ORTLIEB gear could be aimed squarely at the 2026 riding season, giving retailers time to plan stock ahead of spring demand.

While pricing and full specifications have yet to be released, ORTLIEB’s bags have long been a byword for reliability in wet British conditions, whether strapped to a pannier rack for winter training rides or lashed to a gravel bike for multi-day adventures. Any refinement to their waterproofing technology or mounting hardware is likely to be welcomed by riders who rely on dry, secure storage through the UK’s notoriously unpredictable weather.

For our readers, this is worth keeping an eye on: reliable, well-designed luggage remains one of the unsung essentials of everyday and long-distance riding, and updates from a brand as trusted as ORTLIEB tend to filter quickly into what shops recommend for commuting, touring and gravel setups alike. We’ll bring you full details on the range as soon as Lyon Equipment reveals them at the show.
