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.

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.

Numerous road trips and no failures from this rack. Typically carry a Tule XL carrier fully loaded. The rack is always on the car.

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.

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.
