NEW products


Basil Keep Dry and Clean raincover Project goal The majority of rain covers protect bicycle bags from getting wet at the front and sides of the bag. The backside is generally spoken not covered and therefore it often gets wet and the water can enter the bag. The customer who is using a bicycle shopper or backpack is often confronted the wet back area and the backside gets filthy by the splashing water or mud. Also, when taking the filthy bag of the carrier the dirt can easily touch your cloths. Project goals • Develop a rain cover that protects the entire bag • Develop a rain cover that protects the bag from splashing dirt (rain & mud) • Develop two rain covers that fit all models. One for more horizontal bag and the other for more vertical bags • The rain covers must have the possibility to adjust the size for all types of bags • After using the rain cover it must be easily turned and put in a rain cover bag • All rain covers must have reflection at 3 sides (visibility)


Basil Keep Dry and Clean raincover Target group

Basil City series


Basil City series Target group The target group of the City double bag is in life stage Family which aspiration level Explorer - 29-50 year (young till middle age family level or busy building their careers. The younger customer is more fashion aware) •

The casual style is very suitable for this target group. For example, they like to combine casual jeans with a blazer. In this way they create a casual twist that looks clean and comfortable. They search for accessories suiting that style.

They use the bag for several purposes like live/work, shopping, small groceries or for work (but not the formal work version). Meaning the bag is multi functional for this target group.

Although Basil is focusing on women the bag is more then suitable for men as well.

Basil Cento Alu WSL bicycle basket Project goal

• •

Because of the growing supply in e-bikes with battery carriers there is also an increased demand for a modern and sleek looking basket on these carriers. Due to the limited space between the carrier and the battery it is not possible to fix this basket with the standard steel brackets under the carrier deck. The challenge was to adjust the bottom in a way that it is compatible and strong enough for the WSL system. WSL is the perfect system in combination with a battery carrier. That is the major reason to add this model to our collection. Of course, WSL also perfectly fits on normal bicycle carriers.


Basil Cento Alu WSL bicycle basket Target group

The target group is in lifestage commuting and leisure; >35 years. • • • •

• •

The target group is unisex They use their bike frequenty and intensively and the lightweight aluminium basket will be used to carry their officebag and any other kind of stuff. The target group wants to distinguish from the normal Cento consumer and he consciously chooses for this aluminium version because of the weight and the appearance. Because of the intensive usage of the baskets, the consumer prefers the basket mounted fixed on the carrier. This is the main reason not to go for the option of the Cento alu multi system basket. A big part of the target group is using an e-bike with a battery carrier because WSL is the perfect fixed mounting solution for battery carriers. Quick, easy and safe mounting

Advantages of Basil WSL system

• • • •

• •

The Basil WSL system can be combined with double bags (permanent mounted with straps) Additional spacer available (74053) The basket will also fit on carriers with an ascending rear end The Basil WSL system does not damage carriers. The basket “floats” above the carrier, which is better for both carrier and basket Exists of 4 individual high quality clamps, which will not press the luggage carrier together. Should one clamp come loose, the basket will stay on the luggage carrier. So there is more safety margin compared with competitive systems The Basil WSL system is stressfree, safe and quickly to assemble The Basil WSL system is patented


Basil Flex series


Basil Flex bicycle backpack Project goal

Basil and its distributors (retail) have to convince the dealers to buy a bicycle backpack. Although the Flex is a leisure backpack it is very suitable multi purposes such as commuting. • • • • •

Same USP’s as the current Flex backpack Functionality and usage remain the same Take advantage of the popularity of the backpacks All of Basil backpacks are primary dark (grey/black) In adding the colours we bring more variety The colours are matching with bicycle pop colours


Basil Flex bicycle backpack Target group The target group is belonging to life stage Work / Leisure 20 – 50 years The lower price level of the Flex bicycle backpack makes the bag very appealing and suits a broad target group. The younger target group uses the bag for school and work (Explorer) while the older target group uses the Flex backpack for leisure purposes (day trips). Colour 1: Forest green This trendy colour is very popular and you can find it in many different products and stores. We choose a colour that has a full colour (no to much grey in it). It is very suitable when customers want a calm colour that isn’t to loud. Also we selected a colour that matching many bicycles (black, silver, brown and green tones) Colour 2: Signal red This is the way to make your entrance! This fresh, sporty colour gives a whole different look. The target group that feels attracted to this colour are not shy to stand out from the rest.

Basil Pasja dog bicycle baskets MIK


Basil Pasja dog bicycle basket MIK Project goal

The Pasja basket is one of the icons in the Basil collection. And is already on the market since 1980. Invented by Nico van Balveren and still loved by all the people who want to take their dogs during a bike ride. Preferably, the Pasja basket will not be mounted permanently which is the main reason for making this basket MIK compatible with a pre-assembled MIK adapterplate. •

• • •

By combining Pasja with MIK we create several new benefits. We can push the sales for the Pasja because of the compatibility with more carriers. It’s creates added value and distinctiveness for both Basil and MIK! A goal was doing research if the Pasja can be combined with a MIK adapterplate. With making the Pasja MIK compatible, it fits on a wide range of bikes equiped with MIK carriers. Pasja MIK can also be used in combination with the MIK carrierplate so it will fit on most bikes in the market.


Basil Pasja dog bicycle basket MIK Target group

De target group is in lifestage leisure/family This basket is meant for a big target group: unisex and for all ages. Mainly dog owners who love to take their dog with them on their bike rides on both normal bikes and e-bikes. This can be a short ride to the shopping mall but a nice bike tour in the weekends as well. Easy assembling and disassembling is import for this group and that is the reason why they prefer to buy the Pasja with the pre assembled MIK adapter plate. Because of the MIK system the Pasja MIK can (eventually in combination with the MIK carrierplate) easily be exchanged in case of a couple who are making a bicycle ride.

Basil Miles Tarpaulin series


Basil Miles Tarpaulin series Project goal The Miles series is a big success! Due to this success we got the idea to extend the series. Waterproof bags are incredible popular. As we all know the Miles bags are waterproof but from the outside they don’t have this typical waterproof look. Although the Miles series is selling very well we believe it has much more potential when it has a waterproof look (and it can also be more matching to the bike packing look). All details of the existing Miles are implemented but with a more tougher look. So this Miles Tarpaulin series is the next level waterproof bags! • •

• •

Miles series with a clearer waterproof/outdoor look by using tarpaulin instead of polyester fabric. It gives a rougher look The current colour shades have been in the Basil collection for a while. To innovate we added a new pop colour: orange. This colour is trend colour in outdoor/sports (seen in Euro Bike & ISPO) Increase sales by adding a Tarpaulin line by the already very successful Miles. A competitive bag series in the popular waterproof bicycle bags in general.


Basil Miles Tarpaulin series Target group The target group has life stage Leisure 35 – 60 year The target group is unisex, they are sportive minded and like to cycle often (together). Especially in natural area’s with lots of green. Also bike holiday are part of their happy moments in life. They often have a bicycle route and GPS. • • •

The target group likes more rougher bicycle rides but not as rough as bike packing but rougher then the Sports Design user. They carry a helmet, have reflection and are taking care of proper protection. Their ages vary but the majority are between 35-60 years. They are prepared to pay more as long as it is functional and meets their requirements. Generally they cycle on paved roads but also do gravel when they feel like it. They bring the bag when going for a daytrip, cycle weekends and suit the bag to the type of bicycle, technical feature and bicycle colour range.

Basil Buddy dog bicycle basket KF


Basil Buddy dog bicycle basket KF Project goal The Buddy was introduced 3 years ago as a new modern style dog basket. At the beginning just for mounting it on a rearcarrier but there is a growing demand for this basket mounted at the front. The sales of the Buddy is going very well. It has a high ranking in the top 10 on searched items on the Basil website. Also on social media like Instagram, the Buddy is frequently tagged. Because the target group is not riding a bike with a front carrier we had the challenge to make the Buddy compatible with a handlebar mount… and we succeeded! • Taking care of a safe and stable solution has been a main issue during the development • Because of safety reasons we offer te Buddy including our Basil KF handelbarholder. It’s only allowed to use the basket together with the Basil handlebar holder. We cannot guaranty and take responsibility if it will be used in combination with any other Basil holder or klickfix holder. • Maximum payload is 5kg. (so excluding the basket), total max weight for the KF handlebarholder is then 7kg which is same as what Klickfix is communicating. A big part of the smaller dogs will fit the Buddy KF. • Realize a new application for the existing Buddy so that the buddy can be mounted at the front. Dog owners love to see their pets, especially when it is about the smaller/lightweight dogs. • We expect a further growth in total turnover with the Buddy KF. And besides the Pluto we now do have a plastic front mounted dog basket as well.

Basil B-Safe Commuter backpack women


Basil B-Safe Commuter backpack women Project goal As the commuting segment is still growing fast Basil decided to expand the B-safe serie in this segment. As we all know the B-safe backpack is fully focused on commuter use. We developed a smaller B-safe backpack that is much more suitable for women. Many time we received the comment the current B – safe is too big for female back to we strongly believe with this smaller version we create additional sales. In addition we launch a second colour: Olive green. This colour give a lighter look & feel, and answers the request of adding a colour in this serie. • • • •

Same USP’s as the current B-safe adjusted to this specific size. Functionality and ease of use need to be ensured in this model Trend colour: popular with both men/women and less heavy looking then the black version. Extending second colour to other commuter B-Safe models


Basil B-Safe Commuter backpack women Target group The target group has life stage: work -25-45 years. The users are female commuters that cycle to their work.

Generally she clearly knows what she wants and enjoys life reaching her goals. •

Commuting is still increasing, as cities getting packed with cars it increasingly becomes important to focus on a healthy lifestyle. Meaning cycling to work is a booming way to commute. Alongside this development the demand for a suitable commuting backpack is growing. Therefore, after the men B-safe we introduce the model for women.

Basil B-Safe Commuter office bag


Basil B-Safe Commuter office bag Project goal For some years now, there have been a world wide increase in commuters related to bicycle traffic. This has been accelerated by Corona.

Cyclist are even more motivated. Cities fill up, car traffic is slowing down, being healthy is becoming an increasingly important factor •

• • • • •

There are roughly two types of commuter bags: backpack and office bags. When looking at Amazon you see that the competition is fierce. These bags however have two different target groups: The backpack is targeted for a more casual lifestyle where as the office bag is targeted for a more formal lifestyle (business). The backpack considerably increased in popularity. However, the office bag still is a very large group that focusses on business use. We introduce a functional and business B-Safe office bag. Development of a commuter office bag in a higher segment. Growth in the new (more business-like) segment for commuters.

This basket is meant for a big target group. The consumers is riding a solid (transport) bike and they use the bike a lot for many different reasons. The rattan basket (2 sizes) can, because of the volume, be used for many different moments, like shopping, study/school or going to the gym.
