Ortlieb Back Roller Classics fit just fine on the standard rack I have on my Troll- no heel strike. Those are pretty standard touring panniers, so I think the Troll can be tour worthy. Plus it has plenty of mounting points for front racks and panniers if you like to tour that heavy- I haven't used fronts in a while but i tend to tour lighter these days than I used to.
