No one likes a constant whistle while driving with a roof rack. The Vortex crossbars have an aerodynamic shape and rubberized strips in the top channels that help reduce drag and wind noise. The smoother airflow makes long highway drives quieter and more comfortable, even when the rack is unloaded.
Whether you’re loading up kayaks, bikes, skis, or a cargo box for a camping trip, these full-length aluminum bars handle it all. They work with accessories that mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars, so you can mix and match gear without extra adapters. The 49" crossbar length gives you plenty of usable space for multiple attachments.
When you’ve got valuable gear strapped to your roof, security matters. The integrated plastic locks in the Vortex crossbars help deter theft of channel-mount accessories. Lockable cover plates on the legs secure the rack to your vehicle, and you can upgrade to all-metal locks (RRVA-LEC4, sold separately) for added peace of mind.
A solid roof rack starts with strong materials. These crossbars are made from aluminum for durability and rust resistance while keeping weight low. With a 165-lb capacity (always observe your vehicle’s maximum roof load), they’re sturdy enough for heavy loads like kayaks or camping gear. The black finish keeps them looking clean and sharp after miles on the road.

Still happy. Theres a whistle, but you can fix it with a bit of foam insulation in the bottom of the rail.

Still rock solid after a year. Very happy with the Rack. My daughter has used it from time to time over the past year when something wont fit in her car, and shes had no problems with it at all.
