Wind noise can get annoying fast on long drives, especially when you’re carrying gear on the roof. The Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar keeps things calm with its slim, elliptical aluminum bars and built-in rubber Vortex strips. These wave-shaped grooves break up airflow to cut down on drag and whistling. The flush design also eliminates overhang, so the rack looks clean and stays quiet even at highway speeds.
Some racks stick out like an afterthought, but not this one. The Vortex StealthBar sits just 1-3/8" above the factory side rails, giving it a low-profile look that blends right in. The bars end cleanly at the legs for a seamless finish that matches the roofline. It’s a strong, functional setup that doesn’t sacrifice style for utility.
When you’re hauling heavy gear, you want bars that won’t flex or rust. These structural-grade anodized aluminum crossbars use an internal H-shaped extrusion for excellent strength without adding weight. They’re rustproof for year-round use, and the UV-treated, glass-reinforced nylon legs handle weather extremes with no problem. The 176 lb weight capacity gives you plenty of margin for kayaks, boxes, or other gear.
These bars are ready for whatever accessories you use most. Each one includes a built-in C-channel that works with channel-mounted carriers, bike racks, or ski holders. The rubber Vortex strips come in three pieces so you can trim and reinsert them around your mounts to keep things quiet and sealed. You can also attach most clamp-on accessories right to the bar—both styles fit securely thanks to the rubber surface that provides grip and cushioning.
When you leave your vehicle parked, your gear stays protected. Each support leg has a locking cover that secures both the crossbars and any channel-mounted accessories in place. The locks are all keyed alike, so one key takes care of everything. It’s a simple design that keeps your setup safe without adding extra hardware or hassle.

Works great , a bit noisy on some heavy wind days but nothing too crazy , changing the location slightly seem to have helped

Love the look of the vehicle as a whole! The bars certainly blend right in and look factory! So good to know it was a perfect fit for the '25 Outback Wagon, too! What will be going up there on the bars?
