Features to know about
Stay Stable with Heavy Loads: Solid Aluminum Crossbars
When you’re hauling gear like kayaks, camping setups, or a cargo box full of road-trip essentials, you need bars that won’t flex under pressure. The Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack uses full-length aluminum crossbars that create a sturdy foundation for your load. With a 165-lb weight capacity and durable construction, you can count on these bars to stay solid mile after mile.
Cut Down on Cabin Noise: Aerodynamic Shape with Vortex Strips
Nothing ruins a long drive faster than the constant hum of wind noise from the roof. These aero-style crossbars are shaped to help air flow smoothly over the top, and the rubberized Vortex strips in the top channels reduce drag and whistling. The result is a quieter, more comfortable ride whether you’re driving around town or heading out across the state.
Bring It All Along: Works with Channel-Mount and Clamp-On Accessories
No need to limit what you carry. The Vortex bars work with most bike racks, watersport cradles, snow carriers, and cargo boxes that mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars. That flexibility lets you use the same rack for different types of trips—kayaks in summer, skis in winter, or a cargo box when you just need more space.
Keep Your Gear Secure: Built-In Locks and Upgrade Option
When your gear’s on the roof, peace of mind matters. The integrated plastic locks in the crossbars help deter theft of channel-mount accessories, and lockable cover plates on the legs secure the rack to your vehicle. You can also upgrade to all-metal locks (RRVA-LEC4 – sold separately) for added security on overnight trips or when parking for extended periods.
Easy Fit for Naked Roofs: Complete System in One Package
This setup comes ready with everything you need—a pair of 46" crossbars, four 2500 Series legs, and a custom fit kit for installation on a naked roof. Once it’s installed, you get a strong and reliable base that’s ready for road trips, daily commutes, or weekend adventures without needing extra hardware.

Love the bars, I had gotten the other rack parts from different suppliers. I love the look and sleek design of the Rhino Rack. I did the 2500 vortex on a 2016 Subaru Impreza sedan and it fits great and looks even better.

This roof rack works great! At first I was skeptical about putting a rack on my IS250, but it couldn't have turned out better. Paired with the Yakima Highroad, I can easily transport my bikes around without worrying about anything coming loose while driving. The installation instructions for the legs and bars are pretty straightforward. Takes about 30-45 minutes total to install.

The Rhino Racks Vortex Aero are solid. My first drive with them was to Brighton Utah from Riverside California. They were not only secure throughout the drive and hard winds, they were also reasonably quiet. On top I attached a Thule Force L 628 roof box and it fits perfectly. The only complaints I have are how difficult it was to install the racks to my fixed points. It took several friends, a mechanic, and two days to get everything right.

Got this for a 2015 Prius. High quality works great. Use their measurements included as a guide and measure everything out yourself before cutting the spacers and when installing. I had to make minor adjustments to make it perfect.

Installed the Rhinorack system on my 2018 Honda HR-V to replace my Thule Evo system which would whistle at 50mph+. Installation was very straight forward with easy to follow instructions. Rack fit great, feels solid and no whistling or wind noise at highway speed! Highly recommend!

The instructions were clear and the rack installed perfectly. I am impressed with the custom foot mouldings that match my car's contours exactly, and the rack is still as tight as when I installed it 4 weeks ago. I have been using it frequently to pick up 8' lumber for a large shelving project I have underway, and I hope to soon use it to carry my kayaks. The rubber strips on the top hold the lumber so securely I have no worry of having the load slip off the car. The two negatives I have are: (1) the crossbar end-caps consist of 2 locking and 2 slip-ons. I have come out to my car to see 1 of the slip-ons half slipped-off and I expect I will lose one or both of them in short order; and (2) the instructions should put the forward bar at least 1 inch further forward. As you will see in the photo, Rhino's guidelines result in the front bar being higher than the back bar, which results in additional wind pressure on the goods being carried. Finally, I would like to thank etrailer for shipping the product exactly as promised and also for packaging the entire order in an additional box as I requested. I found your service to be outstanding! You are welcome to post my comments and or photo if you should wish to.

First off, ordering and delivery couldn’t have been simpler. The flaps on one end of the box were open but luckily it was on the packing paper end of the box so nothing was lost.
As for installation, I’m a computer guy and while I can get a job done with instructions, it normally takes me well longer than estimated. Not true with this rack... after an initial read through of the instructions it took less than 35 minutes to get it installed by myself.
My ‘21 Toyota C-HR has drill outs for the feet to connect to so no measuring front/back was required which I believe saved a ton of time.
Overall I couldn’t be happier... I head out to pick up m,y kayak next week for the maiden haul!

These racks are great. I looked at so many and finally decided to go with these and very glad I did. The quality is great, not hard to put together, and not too loud. Although, sunroof open would cause bugs to fly in after bouncing off these so don’t do that.

I am getting a bit of whistling at around 15-20 mph, but it doesn't happen all the time and can only hear it if sunroof is open. Do not notice any additional noise compared to no roof rack if my sunroof is closed, even if windows are open. Feels very strong once installed and install is pretty straightforward. Still feel it deserves 5 stars as I believe some noise is expected.

I bought this last yr to haul my kayaks on my Toyota camry. Being 5'2", getting them on top of my SUV was next to impossible for me and my daughters. Since then, I have traveled from Michigan, all the way to the west coast with two 13' ft kayaks. These racks have been absolutely perfect in every aspect. I mounted them myself, and checked them regularly to see if they needed adjusted. Not once did they loosen or move. They with stood Traveling with speed limits reaching 80 mph on I84, along with the windy weather on our cross-country trip. My car moved around from the high winds, and the racks stayed put. These racks have by far reached and surpassed every expectation I had when purchasing them. I would not recommend another. Only thing I would recommend is showing installation for both front and back bars, since the measurements are slightly different for both. As I had to figure this out my self, after watching the installation video. Thank you Rhino for providing such a high quality product.

Its been one year since I installed the Rhino Rack crossbars and I have absolutely no issues. The main use is to carry my Kayaks on my 2013 Subaru Impreza utilizing Yakima JayLow kayak carriers. The only caveat is to be sure to properly cut and install the plastic channel inserts (underside) or you will experience an annoying whistling sound. If you're looking for high quality crossbars, I highly recommend these.

The Rhino Rack is very well made. I installed it my self on our 2016 Ford Escape, but had an assist from my wife to fine tune it at the end. There was no whistling or any other distracting wind noise on our 3,500 mile drive to visit family out West. A Sear's Cargo Box was easily mounted to the Rhino Rack and it remained centered and secured at western highway speed limits plus. The included locks on the roof mounts were the selling point for me. The Rhino Rack remained securely mounted to the roof with no additional adjustments or tightening being needed. Great Product. Donna P. @ etrailer was super with the order.

Been wanting to get a roof rack for my small Honda H-RV suv for some time now. Finally decided to pull the trigger on one and opted for this Rhino rack system.
Watching the etrailer install video and following the manufacturer's instruction, the front rack went on easily and perfectly. However, the rear track turned out to be a very long process. Why? Because I thought the manufacturer's measurements for the rear was an error. After the rack was assembled, it didn't seat into the roof channel at all. It appeared to be well short. So, I proceeded to use my mechanical ingenuity to get this rack to fit on my own. After a lengthy span of time and numerous adjustments, I'd come to realize that the manufacturer's measurements were correct. The footing did not sit perfectly until the unit was fully tightened against the vehicle. Live and learn.....once again.
The rack is absolutely solid, and looks very clean and sharp on top of the H-RV. I could not detect any additional noise while driving, even at highway speed.
The main purpose of this roof rack was for transporting my recreational kayak. I was not aware that these bars had a rubber strip running along the entire top of the bar. This turned out to be perfect for the kayak. Now, I didn't need to buy a specific kayak cradle. The kayak, one strapped down, is held absolutely secured to the rack.
I am very happy with this product! Once again, etrailer comes through perfectly with another of my order. Prompt service and indepth product info are the reasons why I shop here!

The rack was shipped within a day of order and delivered on the expected date. I got email updates with the order confirmation and shipping information. Etrailers provided excellent customer service. The web site allowed me to select the product with confidence that I was getting the right rack for my 2015 Subaru Legacy.
Assembly and installation were easy using the provided instructions. It probably took about 45-60 minutes to complete. I especially liked the measuring strips that Rhino provides. It makes setting the foot width on the bars painless.
I have not used the rack yet, but it's a solid mount and I do not expect any difficulties. It also looks good on the car.
I purposely left the cover plates off in the pictures so the clamp mechanism was visible.

I decided on the 65” instead of the recommended 59” for my 2018 F250 Crew. Before I did I called etrailer to confirm that the crossbar would be ok using the custom DK Fit and Rhino Rack 2500 series legs. The guy confirmed and I placed the order. Everything does fit and quality is great but all I received was measurements using the 59” bar. Something is different between these two bars and etrailer couldn’t help me out.
I figured it out myself and determined the bracket distance on the bar so it fit properly.
Rhino Rack should offer the proper bracket measurements for all 3 Areo Crossbars ( 59, 65 and 72 ) as they pertain to Ford F-250 “17” and up. They all fit - as bracket is in the same spot on the truck.
Great quality solid rack. I’d give 5 star if it wasn’t for this

I purchased Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars with Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs (RRRLKVA) and Fit Kit (DK284) for my 2020 Honda CR-V EX Hybrid. The rack was easy to assemble and took about an hour. The only tool not supplied that you need is a sharp knife or scissors to cut the rubber strips to length. Once assembled, the installation took about 30 minutes, making sure to measure accurately for placement. I used blue painter's tape to initially mark the locations. I then placed the white marking arrows (supplied) to align with the marks on the tape. I then removed the tape, placed the racks aligned with the arrows, and tightened the clamps.
This product seems well made and engineered (I'm a retired mechanical engineer). Kudos to Rhino-Rack and to etrailer for selling it.

The Rhino system works great the way it is. I'm going camping next week and took the two bars out of the closet and right onto the car. No adjustments were needed. The feet fell right into the roof line where I initially set it up. All I had to do was clamp it down. Last weekend I had the basket up there with two fully loaded RTIC coolers probably pushing 150 pounds with no problems. For this trip I have my Yakima easy load bike racks on the roof. They clamped right onto the Rhino bars and they're in a much better position for loading and unloading than my last truck.
I'm very happy with the product and not expecting anything else. Thanks for following up.

I love my Rhino Rack roof rack. It has been used in the past year for moving large items like an extension ladder for working on the house and I have a cargo box I use for road trips. I’ve noticed zero wind noise from the rack and would recommend to anyone considering this rack.

- Roof Rack Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Equinox w/ a Naked RoofRhino Rack makes a roof rack for your 2015 Chevy Equinox that is confirmed as a fit. The crossbars are also very close to the dimensions of the square bar Thule roof racks. For that you would want the item # RRVA118B-2, item # RRRLKVA, and item # DK226 which is a confirmed fit. I attached an install video for this rack on a similar 2013 Equinox as well.

- Roof Rack for 2018 Chevy Equinox without Factory Raised Side RailsFor your 2018 Chevy Equinox, I recommend the Rhino-Rack RVP Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points # RRRVP49. This will use the factory fixed mounting points and will not use the clips that come down into the door frame. It will look like it came from the factory but you will have the T-slots and locks that would not come with a factory roof rack. I've attached the installation details to assist.

The tracks can be cut down but not the crossbars. Shorter tracks are also available which might save you some work. You can choose from the following based on length: -Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Channel Mount - 37-1/2" Long # RTC95JW -Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Channel Mount - 55" Long # RTC14 -Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Channel Mount - 63" Long # RTC16 You...

I'm not sure the length you need, but the shortest available is the 36-1/4" long Rhino-Rack RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks # RRRTS540. Then you'd need a roof rack that fits the tracks, and for that you would add the Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs # RRRLT600. To complete the rack set up you'd need crossbars, with the right length depending on the width of your roof/cab enclosure. You...

That set up should work but it's going to depend entirely on how big the bottom of your kayak is. You'll need to push your Skybox over as far as you possibly can to give yourself enough room to mount the Rhino-Rack Nautic Stack Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs item # RRS520 and your kayak. Please note your Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars like item # RRVA118B-2 have a 165 lbs weight capacity so you definitely want to avoid overloading them. You may also want to check...

- Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander SportI will be happy to walk you through what you will need to add a roof rack and kayak carrier to 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport in the budget you mentioned. You said there are places to install a rack system, but I am unsure if that meant your '18 Outlander Sport had a naked roof (meaning no rails of any kind on the roof already) or a roof with factory flush-mounted rails that run front to back so I'll give you options for both. Rhino Rack is a high-quality roof rack manufacturer and they...

- Recommended Rhino-Rack Roof Rack For A 2016 Ram 3500 And How Does Roof Rack Capacity Work Hey Bob, Roof rack systems are typically only rated up to 165lbs because that's typically above the capacity of the vehicle's roof. More recently all manufacturers are switching to removing the capacity from the listing and telling consumers to check the weight capacity of the roof because people have been overloading their roofs and causing damage. The # RR38ZE is missing a crossbar but includes the correct amount of feet and and fit kit components so you'll need to order the following...

The crossbars are also very close to the dimensions of the square bar Thule roof racks. For that you would want the item # RRVA118B-2, item # RRRLKVA, and item # DK226 which is a confirmed fit. I attached an install video for this rack on a similar 2013 Equinox as well.

The way you can tell is if there is a small removable tab on those rails that cover the holes. I went ahead and attached a video of a 2015 Mazda CX-5 with fixed mounting points to give you perspective about what to look for. If you determine that you have fixed mounting points, I recommend the following setup: - Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 46" #...

You can use the Custom DK Fit Kit # DK498 along with the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA which is designed for Sportz or Vortex crossbars. I'm not sure what length your current crossbars are but the Rhino-Rack Sportz Roof Rack # RR64KG and the old Vortex rack for the F-250 both use 59" bars.

In addition to this carrier I recommend using a roof rack to secure your kayak to the roof of your truck instead of the foam blocks.

The overall distance from one end of the JayLow to the other end is about 19", so you may have a little bit of the JayLow hanging over the crossbar legs which is fine.

- Roof Rack Recommendation for 2012 Chevy SonicThe track mounted roof racks all use the same dimensions for the channels. They all use a 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch channel and we have found that the feet kits of the racks all fit in the same channels. That being said, the roof of your vehicle has a curve to it and mounting tracks to it would not be an ideal solution. Plus it will permanently modify the roof. The track setups really should only be used on flat surfaces like pop up campers and truck bed camper shells. The best solution will...

The potential problem is only if you want to operate the sunroof with the crossbars mounted on the roof, as it's possible that it may interfere with the bars when being raised or with any accessories you have mounted like your kayaks. Generally speaking though, we don't recommend opening the sunroof with a roof rack installed anyway, as the crossbars (even the quieter aero-style units)...
