Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Aero crossbar

The 2500 Series system includes a pair of silver, 46" long crossbars. The oval crossbars are aerodynamic to reduce drag and wind noise compared with standard square crossbars. And the extruded aluminum construction keeps the crossbars rust free and looking new.


Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Aero crossbar C-channelRhino-Rack 2500 Series Aero crossbar rubber strip

A built-in channel on top of each crossbar provides a mounting point for your slot-mounted Rhino-Rack Sportz and Aero carriers and accessories. These channels also include rubber strips that help to cushion loads on the rack and provide slip resistance to keep your cargo from shifting during transport. The rubber strips can be cut to length to accommodate your bike, ski, kayak or other carrier. Locking endcaps (sold separately) are available to secure your channel-mounted accessories to your crossbars.


Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Aero bottom channelRhino-Rack 2500 Series Aero rulers

A channel on the bottom of each crossbar lets you mount the crossbars directly to your roof-rack legs. This channel includes handy rubber rulers that can also be cut to length, ensuring that the crossbars are properly centered on your roof.


Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Aero security toolRhino-Rack 2500 Series Aero bolt inside leg

Custom clamps (included with the vehicle-specific clamp kit) secure the rack system to the vehicle and mount to the roof-rack legs with theft-deterrent bolts. A special tool (included) is needed to tighten the bolts. Tightening the bolts secures the vehicle-specific clamps to the legs and the legs to your vehicle roof.


Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Aero pads match roofline

The custom molded pads (included with the vehicle-specific clamp kit) are designed to match your vehicle's roofline. Simply press them onto the bottoms of the legs to create a perfect-fitting rack while also protecting your vehicle's surface from scratches and abrasions.


Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Aero pivoting foot

The 2500 Series leg bases have rounded tops that pivot to ensure that the crossbars are level on your roof.


Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Aero plastic cover with lockRhino-Rack 2500 Series Aero leg locked

The roof-rack legs include plastic covers with built-in locks. The locks secure your roof rack to your vehicle. The covers protect the interior components of the legs from the elements and give the roof rack a finished look.


Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Aero crossbars remove easily as a single unitRhino-Rack 2500 Series Aero mounting stickers

The 2500 Series roof rack is easy to install and remove from your roof. Once installed, the crossbar, legs and clamp kit stay together as one unit, which makes removing, storing, and reinstalling very easy. To remove, simply loosen the bolts inside the towers with the security tool. Stickers are supplied to mark leg locations during your initial setup so when you want to reinstall you know exactly where the system goes.
