Every inch of roof space counts when you're carrying gear for a trip. The Rhino-Rack Sportz system uses full-length 54" aluminum crossbars so you can mount more than one accessory side by side. The extra span means room for a kayak cradle and a cargo box or other combinations that fit your plans. With a 165-lb weight capacity, the bars are ready for serious hauling without flexing under load.
Driving with a roof rack shouldn’t mean living with constant wind noise. The aero-style crossbars are shaped to guide air smoothly over the roof, while the rubberized dual strips in the top channels help reduce drag and whistling. These strips also close around any installed mounts, keeping airflow steady and quiet for longer drives.
A rack that moves or rattles is no good when you’re carrying expensive gear. The Sportz system uses 4 SX legs that install directly to flush rails for a custom, tight fit. Once mounted, lockable cover plates secure the rack to your vehicle, adding an extra layer of protection when you’re away from it.
Whether it’s bikes in the spring or skis in the winter, this setup adapts easily. The crossbars accept both channel-mount and clamp-on accessories and work with most bike, watersport, snow, and cargo carriers. They’re also compatible with Rhino-Rack accessories that use the Zwifloc fastening system, so switching setups for different adventures stays simple.
From hot sun to cold rain, aluminum construction keeps these bars strong and rust-free. They maintain their sleek black finish trip after trip, season after season. A 5-year warranty backs that durability so you can keep focusing on getting out there rather than worrying about your gear support system.

Excellent product delivered promptly.
Same same.
Careful with the "Rino" p olitic
Quality product, fast service, good communication. What more could you ask for. Will definitely use them again in the future.
They got the job done and haven't had to mess with the since. They are a lil more bulky looking on my Kia Niro but for the price they look good.
After substantial research on the major brands out there, I chose Rhino for the weight rating & lower profile than many other roof racks. Six months later I have carried everything imaginable very securely including lumber & ladders. I am very happy with the performance & durability. They were fairly easy to installing as well. Would recommend & buy again.
We have had this rack for a year now. At first we had a faulty part that etrailer replaced no problem. We have had them on my Kia Niro this whole time and use it to hold my Yakima car top carrier when needed. We are about to do a cross country trip and I feel confident in the racks. And we got a much better deal than getting them elsewhere.
Works very nicely on a 2014 BMW X5 with the low profile rails.
They have held up to a 51lb eMTB and a fully loaded cargo carrier at speeds I shouldn't be driving at.
Just what I was shopping for. I called on the tech support guys and without a doubt they reassured me of a complete fit for my vehicle.
Product arrived quicker than expected , well packaged and setup was easy for this rack.
Like the craftsmanship of this rack system.
The Rhino roof rack is great and is very strong. I would recommend this for anyone that needs a strong roof rack. I took my time installing and took about an hour and half.
I really love the Rhino Rack so far. It took me a little fiddling (and had to reference the install instructions) to get the bottom sealed, which stopped all whistling. Pretty quite overall and feels very sturdy up there. I also like how easily it can be removed/reattached if need be.
These were great. Easy to install, clamped down nice and tight, held my rack and single scull perfect. All was good until someone was able to pry one off! They left a nice screwdriver dent on my car. Why have keys when all you need is a screwdriver. So now I have one complete crossbar with legs for sale.
Very flimsy plastic parts. I won’t attach heavy or valuable gear to these racks in fear that the product will fail.
etrailer is the best. I have purchased from them several times with great results. My questions were answered promptly and I was guided to the right products.
Our previous RhinoRack has served us well for years. The rack for our new vehicle is secure, easy to install and we look forward to many years or service.
Good overall. But beware, I thought I had lost one of the rubber clamp covers and tried to get a replacement. The company (Rhino-Rack) does not stock replacement parts in the US. After many calls, they admitted that this is due to their being an Australian company and they don’t have the space in their warehouse for spare parts (direct quote from phone rep)!! Luckily I found the missing part later, but I would have been out of luck if not.
So far it was easy to install. The rubber tracks on top of the rack did not cover the entire length of the rack. There were two short pieces. One rack the lengths were inconsistent so not sure what that was all about. Otherwise pretty easy to put together and assemble.
This rack was recommended as an alternative to a more expensive brand. I have used this twice with a luggage pod for 500+ mile destinations. I am very happy to report that I am more than happy with the quality/durability of the product, and the ease of installation/use. Also, it is very quiet. Highly recommend this product. I purchased the locking endcaps as well.

Still great!
I've owned and used the roof rack for more than 1 year now. The rack installed as expected and has performed well over the last year. Mostly carrying a Thule car-top carrier filled with heavy car-camping equipment. Installed onto 2019 Kia Niro EV.

Numerous road trips and no failures from this rack. Typically carry a Tule XL carrier fully loaded. The rack is always on the car.
I have returned it as I was not comfortable with design to mount on flush factory side rails.
These things are great! I have them on my Land Rover Discovery Sport. They hang on and don't slip around, and they're quiet! I've had roof racks, furniture, lumber, and ladders all piled up there with no worries of slipping. I'd buy another Rhino Rack product in a heartbeat. I'm using these with the black Vortex Aero crossbars. They look good and are super functional. I'm looking forward to years of [ab]use!

Another year on and these legs are holding on strong. Locks are not rusting and all mechanisms move freely. My Discovery Sport is uncovered in the elements 99 of the time and these things are holding up beautifully. And theyre quiet to boot! I recommend them whole-heartedly.
Pretty easy to install, looks great(at least I think it does). A lot of videos available to watch, probably the best suggestion is to watch them until you’re comfortable with the install process.
Very satisfied with the product and it looks good as does the hitch from entailed (for bike rack) on my Kia niro
Easy to install. Video on etrailer website very helpful. Rack seems to be good quality.
Attaching the bars to these feet was simple, but I did need to read the instructions carefully. Once the bars were attached, mounting everything to the car was quick and easy. I love the built-in, locking handles that tighten the feet down. My previous rack required a separate tool to tighten the feet to the roof rails; this system is much easier to use. I’ve been using the roof rack for about a year now and it has held up very well.
This is the product that was recommended on etrailer as a fit for my BMW X-5, but when doing a search on the SKU I ordered, there’s a message that the product is not a fit. But actually it seemed to fit fine. I think it looks great. I’m concerned it moves a bit on the rail although I have it as tight as I can get it. Hopefully it will be fine. Furthermore, the directions that come with the product really suck. Not that it’s hard to attach, I used the video on the website to get an overview. I was disappointed that the top rubber insert was inside the bar and that information was not made obvious. I learned that by watching another video on YouTube after I ordered them from Rhino. Nonetheless, I’m happy with the purchase. It looks great on my X5 and was more reasonably priced versus the Thule.

No issues. Pretty simple to install and has stayed in place without requiring any adjustment. We took a trip to Florida last summer and trapped a cargo carrier to the top. It was pretty heavy but the Rhino held up great. Even through the auto car wash no issues. Would definitely recommend.

If assembled and installed according to the instructions, the Vortex Aero roof rack kit from Rhino Rack has a 220 lb weight capacity which is the highest available capacity roof rack we offer for that vehicle.
