Nothing ruins a trip faster than worrying about your gear shifting around. The Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack gives you peace of mind with its solid aluminum construction and sturdy SX legs. The 46" long crossbars can handle up to 165 lbs—plenty for hauling kayaks, paddleboards, cargo boxes, or other outdoor gear. The tough build keeps everything steady on the road while maintaining a lightweight setup that won’t weigh your vehicle down.
Long highway drives can bring annoying wind noise from your roof rack, but the aerodynamic shape of these bars helps keep things quiet. The rubberized Vortex strips fill in the top channels to smooth airflow, reducing drag and cutting down on whistling. That means a calmer ride whether you’re commuting or heading out on a long road trip.
These aero-style crossbars are built for versatility. You can mount accessories in the top channels or clamp them around the bars, making it easy to switch between water sports, camping, or cargo gear. From kayaks and bikes to ski carriers and roof boxes, this rack gives you flexible options for hauling what you need on any weekend outing or big adventure.
You’ll want your gear safe both on and off the road. The crossbars include integrated plastic locks that help deter theft of channel-mount accessories, and lockable cover plates on the legs keep the rack itself secure. If you want even more protection, you can upgrade to all-metal locks (RRVA-LEC4 – sold separately) for added security when leaving your setup unattended overnight.
Designed for raised roof rails, the SX legs clamp firmly in place for a custom fit that stays secure trip after trip. Once installed, the rack blends cleanly into your vehicle’s roofline while keeping full-length space across both bars so you can position accessories exactly where you need them. It’s a dependable setup built to carry your gear wherever you go.

5 stars. Use these every summer. Take them off and on by myself and have never had any issue with them. Still happy as ever with my purchase.

I like the products pretty much considering it was the only option available for my vehicle. The roof racks do cause a bit more wind noise than I had hoped but Im used to it now and just turn the radio up a bit more. I did go back and read my reviews again and they are still accurate a year later.

Thank you for your review. I recommend to make sure the rubber strip in the bottom of the bar is pressed securely into the channel. If you are still experiencing wind noise I recommend to add a fairing to your set up with part # RRRF4 which will divert the air over the bars.
