Andersen Tura Shopper — Ortlieb Bag
The closest thing to a bike-trailer-grade shopping trolley Andersen makes. The Tura Shopper runs the largest wheels in the range — Ø 29 cm ball-bearing — paired here with the Ortlieb. 50 kg load capacity, aluminium frame, 3-way handle system, and Bike n Easy compatibility via the Type 2 Adaptor.

Compatibility
The Tura is the closest match in the Andersen range to a bike trailer. Best for: rural routes, cobbled town centres, gravel paths, regular bike towing over rough terrain. The 127 cm handle height suits taller users. Not ideal for: very tight storage spaces — the larger wheels and taller chassis don't fold as compactly as the Scala or Unus. Bike towing via the Type 2 Adaptor.
Attaching to a bicycle
This Shopper is compatible with Andersen's Bike n Easy attachment system, which lets you switch between pulling on foot and towing behind a bicycle in a few seconds.
Two components are needed: an adaptor on the Shopper (this frame takes the Type 2 Adaptor) and a coupling unit on the bicycle. The bike-side coupling depends on your bicycle's geometry:
Pull Easy — bikes with a rear luggage carrier
Easy Snap — alternative for rear-carrier bikes
Big Easy — bikes without a rear rack (mounts to seat strut)
The full breakdown with fitting guides and videos is on the Andersen Bike n Easy attachment guide.
Fitting & installation
The Andersen frame arrives fully assembled. The bag clicks onto the frame using the HängFix system (on Royal, Royal Plus, and Unus frames) or attaches via integrated straps (on Scala, Komfort, and Tura). Both are tool-free.
For bicycle attachment, see Compatibility above and the Andersen Bike n Easy guide for the full fitting walk-through, including PDFs and video tutorials per coupling. The Tura Shopper user manual is available to download on this page.

FAQs
How does the Andersen × Ortlieb bag compare to using an actual Ortlieb pannier?
The waterproofing is the same — welded seams, roll-top closure, same fabric. What's different is the attachment. An Ortlieb cycling pannier uses Ortlieb's QL hook system designed for bike racks; the Andersen × Ortlieb collaboration bag uses Andersen's HängFix system for the Royal-family chassis. You can't swap them between systems. If you want one bag for both trolley and bike-pannier use, this isn't it — but for trolley use, you get genuine Ortlieb-grade waterproofing.
Why is the Ortlieb the most expensive bag on the Royal frame?
Two reasons — Ortlieb-grade waterproof construction is more expensive to manufacture than the water-resistant fabric used on bags like the Lissa or Hera, and the licensing arrangement with Ortlieb adds a premium. You're paying for the Ortlieb brand assurance and the actual dry-bag construction, which other Andersen bags don't have.
How does the Tura compare to a traditional bike trailer?
The Tura is different from a traditional cargo bike trailer because it is designed to work brilliantly both on and off the bike. It gives you the freedom to tow your shopping, work kit or everyday essentials by bike, then simply unclip it and use it as a comfortable walking trolley at your destination. Its 29 cm pneumatic wheels make it smooth and stable for relaxed urban cycling, shopping trips, errands, commuting and local work use. A traditional cargo trailer may be better for faster riding, heavier loads or longer-distance utility cycling, but for day-to-day car-free living, the Tura offers a more flexible and practical two-in-one solution.
Why does the Tura use the Type 2 Adaptor and not Type 1?
The Tura has Andersen's 3-way handle system — the same handle that lets you adjust the height also requires the specifically-shaped Type 2 Adaptor to attach to the bike. The Royal and Komfort use a different handle style and so take the Type 1 Adaptor. See our Bike n Easy guide for the full breakdown.
Hitch A Bike Expert Note
The Andersen × Ortlieb is HAB's most-stocked Andersen bag for good reason — customers who know Ortlieb specifically come looking for this combination. If you're in any doubt about whether to spend the extra on this versus the Andersen-own Hydro 3.0 (also waterproof), the deciding factors are: (1) the Ortlieb's reputation for keeping dry over multiple years of daily use is unmatched in the industry, and (2) the simpler bag without thermal or backpack features means fewer points of failure. The Hydro 3.0 does more; the Ortlieb does one thing — waterproof carry — to a higher standard.
