Carriers, baskets and crates

Carriers, baskets and crates to Pilen Bikes

Starting in 2025, Pilen will offer a wider selection of baskets and carriers from Swedish manufacturer AtranVelo. This expanded range gives you even more freedom to configure your Pilen bicycle to match your personal preferences and everyday needs. With more options available, it becomes easier to adapt your bike to how you plan to use it – improving both versatility and functionality.

AtranVelo, based in Falkenberg, Sweden, designs and manufactures high-quality bike accessories for the global cycling market. Their product range includes front and rear carriers, kickstands, baskets, crates and bags – and their components are used by many well-known bicycle brands. AtranVelo is especially recognised for its patented AVS system.

The AtranVelo System (AVS) is a quick-release mounting system for bicycle accessories. Baskets, crates and bags with AVS fittings are modular and fully compatible with front and rear carriers equipped with the AVS interface. Accessories click into place and are released with a simple press. In 2018, AtranVelo was awarded the prestigious Red Dot Design Award for the AVS system.

Rear carriers – with or without AVS

The standard rear carriers on Pilen Lyx, GT, GTV, and EL1 are solid and fully functional, but not AVS-compatible. However, the rear carrier on the EL1 can be upgraded with a smart adapter – AtranVelo Newrack Uni AVS X-Wide Extra – which makes it AVS-compatible, allowing baskets and bags with AVS fittings to be securely clicked into place.

Pilen Ida, GT, and GTV can be equipped with the AtranVelo Tour Lite AVS rear carrier, which is compatible with all AtranVelo’s AVS accessories.
