Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbar

These low-profile, aerodynamic Vortex Aero crossbars let you build a stylish aftermarket roof rack from scratch. The crossbars require 4 Rhino-Rack legs (manufactured in 2014 or later) and a custom fit kit to mount it to your roof. Each bar extends past the roof rack legs to maximize the space for mounting carriers and accessories. Rubberized Vortex strips in each crossbar's top channel disrupt airflow for a quiet ride, and the bars are constructed of aluminum so they won't rust. The crossbars also include Secure Core endcaps with plastic locks to help deter theft of channel-mounted accessories.


Aerodynamic Design

Vortex Aero noise-reducing top channel strips

The rubberized Vortex strips in the top channel of each crossbar disrupt airflow with evenly spaced, wave-shaped grooves. This carefully controlled turbulence minimizes wind noise and whistling, so you won't need to add a fairing to your roof rack. And the slim, elliptical Vortex Aero crossbars cut through the air with minimal drag - even at highway speeds.


Strong, Durable Construction

Vortex Aero crossbar H-shaped extrusion

The Vortex Aero crossbars are made of structural-grade anodized aluminum with H-shaped internal extrusions. These extrusions strengthen the bars without adding a significant amount of weight. And the aluminum bars won't rust so you can leave them on your roof year-round.


No-Hassle Installation

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero bottom channel ruler

Each crossbar has a channel in the bottom for mounting to Rhino-Rack roof rack legs (sold separately). Each end of the channel includes a rubber ruler to help you center the bar on your roof. Simply use the numbers and hash marks on the rulers to ensure the legs are spaced properly in the channel.


Channel-Mounted and Clamp-On Accessories

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbar top-channel strips

Each Vortex Aero crossbar has a built-in C-channel so you can carry channel-mounted accessories such as bike racks, watersport carriers, and ski racks. The Vortex strips in the top channels come in 3 pieces, so they're easier to adjust than a single long, continuous strip. You can remove, trim, and re-insert the Vortex strips around the mounting hardware of your accessories to keep the crossbar channel capped and quiet. Replacement strips (sold separately) are also available if you remove your accessories or switch to clamp-on accessories.


You can also attach most clamp-on accessories to the bars, and the Vortex strips provide a shock-absorbing, no-slip cushion for any accessories that rest on them.


Built-In Security

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Secure Core locking endcaps

Each crossbar includes 2 Secure Core locking endcaps made of durable polypropylene. These endcaps lock with a universal tubular key. The polypropylene locks secure the endcaps to the crossbars and help to secure channel-mounted accessories to the crossbars. For maximum security, you can upgrade to endcaps with all-metal lock cores (RRVA-LEC4 - sold separately).

  • Is Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for 2018 Subaru Forester Secure to Use With Yakima SkyRise Tent
    The Rhino-Rack Locking Endcaps for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Metal Cores # RRVA-LEC4 are going to be what you need if you use any accessories that go into the channels of your roof rack crossbars; if you only use accessories that clamp around the bars then the metal cores would not be needed. In regards to the Rhino-Rack roof rack for your 2018 Subaru Forester, you mentioned you have the 59" Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars # RRVA150B-2, though that length may not work for your vehicle. The...

  • 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.

  • Best Value Roof Rack For 2017 BMW X5 With Flush-Mounted Rails For Cargo Box & Skis/Snowboards
    Thanks for the photo of your 2017 BMW X5, which shows it has flush-mounted rails, and roof rack that is the best value for your BMW is from Rhino-Rack. The reason why is that Rhino-Rack roof racks give you the same amount of quality as similar name brands, but at a more economical price. The parts that make up the rack for your '17 X5 are the following: - Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 - Rhino-Rack SRB Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Flush Factory Side Rails # RRSX026 Those...

    Yes, Rhino-Rack roof rack # RRVA137B-2 will fit your 2014 Honda CR-V as long as it has a naked roof (no rails that run front to back or crossbars that run side to side). You will also need fit kit # DK284, and legs # RRRLKVA to install the roof rack. The bars are indeed 54 inches long overall.

  • Recommended Roof Rack For 2015 Honda CR-V With Naked Roof
    We do have a roof rack that will work for your 2015 Honda CR-V. What we have found is that you cannot have factory side rails added to a vehicle after it has been delivered but we have a solution for you. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack. This features anodized aluminum aerodynamic crossbars with a rubberized Vortex strip in the crossbar top channel to disrupt airflow for a quiet ride. Along with the crossbars the system uses the Series 2500 Legs that include locks to secure...

  • Roof Rack or Ladder Rack for Trailer For Roof Top Tent
    There are a couple options to add a rack system to your trailer, depending on what type of trailer you have. For an enclosed trailer with rain gutters you can install the Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack # RA-28. Another option is to use a track-mounted system from Rhino-Rack. You will need the Rhino-Rack RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Rivet Mount - 50" Long # RRRTV128, Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - RTC and RT Roof Rack Tracks # RRRLT600 and crossbars,...

  • Recommended Way to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2006 Scion xB with a Bare Roof
    Like you said you aren't able to carry 3 bikes on a hitch mounted bike rack with your 2006 Scion xB because you need at least a Class II hitch and only Class I hitches are available for your vehicle. So that leaves either the roof or a trunk mount carrier. If you want to add a roof rack you can use the Rhino-Rack system, parts # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK138. Then add 3 bike racks like the TomaHawk, part # RKY1222. However, I recommend a trunk mount rack. It's a lot less expensive...

    Without knowing the length of the crossbars and the weight of the kayaks, I would have some doubts that you're going to be able to carry 4 kayaks on the roof of a 2015 Chevy Traverse-but if you were going to do it the Thule Stacker # TH830 would be the way to go since they don't take up a ton of space. You're going to need roughly 50" (the Stacker takes up about 3" of bar space) of crossbar space to successfully do this. I would also recommend checking your owner's manual to find out the...

The locks included with the roof rack system are for the covers on the legs of the roof rack. Once the roof rack has been fit to the roof of your Tacoma you place the locking cover in place so the roof rack cannot be removed from the vehicle. To order this roof rack you will need part # RRVA137B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK046. I have included a link to an in-depth product review...

  • Recommended Roof Racks for a 2017 Chevrolet Traverse
    I am not sure what you mean by channels. The 2017 Chevrolet Traverse has two options of roofs: one with flush rails and the other with a naked roof. If you have the flush rails, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars, part # RRVA137B-2. These are aero-style crossbars, so they are compatible with most accessories while cutting down on wind drag and noise. They're 54" long and have a weight capacity of 165 pounds. I've linked to a video review of these for you to look at. To attach...

  • Recommended Roof Rack For A 2017 Subaru Forester To Mount A Thule Tepui Rooftop Tent
    Hi Jacob, The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215 would work capacity-wise for holding your Thule Tepui rooftop tent, but I've seen the connection between the feet and crossbar on these wear quickly enough that I personally would not use this crossbar for a tent. Once that connection wears down the crossbar can slide side to side on the feet as the weight shifts when making turns and there's no way to fix it. These are good for smaller applications and limited use. If you plan on using...

  • 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.

  • Naked Roof Rack Recommendation for 2013 Honda CRV to Carry Longer Roof Box for Skis
    The naked roof racks that fit your 2013 Honda CR-V do put the front bar significantly closer to the windsheild like with the Rhino Rack part # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK284 we have installed on a 2013 CR-V so this would be the way to go. I attached a picture that shows the front bar is more than the amount of inches forward that you would need plus an install video on a similar 2014 CR-V as well.

    I do have a solution for you but unfortunately there are no adapter kits available to carry your 38" wide canoe. You need to use a different roof rack system or use a canoe carrier. For a roof rack system I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack which includes 54" crossbars # RRVA137B-2, the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and the DK Fit Kit # DK299. This gives you longer crossbars that have a max weight capacity of 165 lbs. To carry your canoe just on the crossbars will also require...
