Features to know about

Bring Every Boat, Board, and Box: 165-Lb Capacity with Full-Length Bars

The Rhino-Rack Sportz Roof Rack gives you space and strength for the gear you love to haul. The 50" aluminum crossbars hold up to 165 lbs, so you can load kayaks, cargo boxes, or camping gear with confidence. The full-length design means you get more usable bar space for wide accessories or multiple mounts at once.

Cut Down on Wind Noise: Aero-Style Bars with Rubberized Dual Strips

Wind noise can take the fun out of a road trip. These aero-style crossbars push air smoothly over the rack, while the rubberized dual strips in the top channels help guide airflow and cut down on drag. The result is a quieter ride that doesn’t drown out your playlist or the sounds of the open road.

Mount Gear Without the Hassle: Channel and Clamp-On Compatibility

Switching between different trips and setups is easy with this rack. It works with channel-mount and clamp-on accessories, so you can attach bike racks, kayak cradles, or cargo boxes without needing special adapters. It’s ready for all seasons—whatever you want to bring along fits right in.

Keep It Locked Down: Secure Legs with Lockable Covers

When your gear stays on your roof overnight or during a quick stop, security matters. The Sportz system uses 2500 Series legs with lockable cover plates that secure the rack to your roof. Once locked, your crossbars stay firmly in place so you can focus on the journey instead of worrying about your setup.

Built to Last Through Every Trip: Aluminum Construction and 5-Year Warranty

Adventure after adventure, these bars are made to hold up. The lightweight aluminum construction resists rust and wear from rough weather or long drives. Finished in black for a clean look, it’s a rack designed for durability—and backed by a 5-year warranty that stands behind it.

  • Can Rhino Rack Sportz Crossbars Be Cut Down If They Are Too Long?
    Hi Roger! I see you placed an order for the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells - Track Mount - Black - 54" Bars # Y02-480B already, but I still wanted to get you an answer to your question. While some crossbars can be cut down to size, the ones included with the # Y02-480B cannot. The bottom of the bars have a short track in them for the towers to mount in, but they do not go all the way across the bar (see included image). Cutting the bar down can and will shorten that space...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
    I 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...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Equinox w/ a Naked Roof
    Rhino 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.

  • Does Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box Fit Rhino Rack Roof Rack
    The Rhino Rack Vortex Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 you referenced measure 3-1/8" wide x 1-3/16" tall. The Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629806 will fit crossbars that are up to 3-1/2" wide and 1-11/16" tall so they will work on these bars! If you let me know the year, make and model of your vehicle I can confirm for you which Rhino Rack roof rack will fit and the parts you will need.

  • How Can I Tell if I have Fixed Mounting Points on My 2015 Mazda CX-5 for a Crossbar System?
    According to the specs I have, you may have fixed mounting points on those rubber strips on your 2015 Mazda CX-5. 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" #...

  • Parts Needed to Add Rhino-Rack Roof Rack to 2026 Ford F-250
    Hey Jeffrey! Do you have the 2026 Ford F-250 Crew Cab? Are these Vortex bars? The crew cab is the only version that allows a Rhino-Rack to fit. 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. If you have the Regular Cab or SuperCab you will...

  • 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude Roof Rack Recommendation
    I have a great roof rack solution that fits your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee that has black flush rails on the roof but Rola does not offer anything that fits your roof configuration. Instead you'd want the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK234 which is a confirmed fit and gives you a set of aero shaped crossbars that will minimize wind noise and are very easy to install.

  • Recommended Replacement Leg Screws for the Rhino Rack 2500 Series Legs
    Sorry to hear about that Wendie, but we do have both screws # RRB154 & # RR89UB available for replacement for the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA. There is no secret to getting the screw out, but since it's stripped it's going to be a lot harder. If you have enough of the head removed, you can try using a set of locking pliers around the head and back it out that way. I've actually had to do this a couple times, it's not fun, but it works.

    We do have a roof rack that will work for your 2015 Honda CR-V.

  • What are the Differences Between Roof Bag on Naked Roof and Roof Rack Mounted Bag?
    Apart from how the rooftop bags mount there is little difference between the cargo bags that go on the naked roof of your 2013 Kia Soul or one that attaches to a roof rack. To avoid having to put a pricey roof rack on your Soul, I strongly recommend going with a bag that mounts to your naked roof such as the Rightline Gear Sport 2 Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S20. This bag is waterproof, has 15 cubic feet of storage and is 44" long x 36" wide x 19" tall. You can mount the Rightline by running...

  • Replacement Crossbar, Towers, and Feet for a 2022 Honda CR-V Using Rhino Rack 2500 Series
    Jeff, first of all, I'm relieved to hear you weren't injured in this accident. As far as replacements go, we do have a replacement crossbar with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar # RRVA137B but the towers and fit kit are only sold as a complete set with # RRRLKVA & # DK284. Hopefully no more turkey accidents in the future, but if it happens again we have you covered! Feel free to drop a comment and let me know if there is anything else I can do to help!

  • Can Rhino Rack Roof Rack Y02-480B Fit 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500
    Hey Miles, I checked with Rhino Rack and the part # Y02-480B that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500. Like you probably already know though this is a permanent install type of rack that would require drilling the roof. If you were looking for a way to adapt the roof rack to fit without drilling you would instead also need the part # DK427 and the # RRRLKVA which allows the feet of the rack to attach to the door frame. This does not require any drilling.

  • Best Roof Rack For Thule Hullavator On 2024 Acura RDX
    Hello Geoffrey, thanks for reaching out. You are on the right track here. On your 2024 Acura RDX a 60" bar would be cutting it close. We can do a roof rack with a longer bar; we would just have to part it out separately instead of doing a full kit which is not a problem at all.
