Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbar

This low-profile, aerodynamic Vortex Aero crossbar lets you replace a damaged bar, add a third bar to an existing rack, or build a stylish aftermarket roof rack from scratch. The crossbar requires a pair of Rhino-Rack legs (manufactured in 2014 or later) and a custom fit kit to mount it to your roof. This bar extends past the roof rack legs to maximize the space for mounting carriers and accessories. Rubberized Vortex strips in the crossbar's top channel disrupt airflow for a quiet ride, and the bar is constructed of aluminum so it won't rust. The crossbar also includes 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 this 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 crossbar cuts through the air with minimal drag - even at highway speeds.


Strong, Durable Construction

Vortex Aero crossbar H-shaped extrusion

The Vortex Aero crossbar is made of structural-grade anodized aluminum with an H-shaped internal extrusion. This extrusion strengthens the bar without adding a significant amount of weight. And the aluminum bar won't rust so you can leave it on your roof year-round.


No-Hassle Installation

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero bottom channel ruler

The 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

The 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 strip in the top channel comes in 3 pieces, so it's 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 bar, and the Vortex strip provides a shock-absorbing, no-slip cushion for any accessories that rest on it.


Built-In Security

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Secure Core locking endcaps

The 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 crossbar and help to secure channel-mounted accessories to the crossbar. For maximum security, you can upgrade to endcaps with all-metal lock cores (RRVA-LEC2 - sold separately).

  • 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...

  • Rhino-Rack Roof Rack And Camper Shell Track Mount Rack For A 2013 Chevy Silverado
    Hey Caleb, Both the Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack for Naked Roofs # RR23VE and the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells - Track Mount # Y02-490B are approximately 5" in total height so with the camper shell matching in height these should line right up. The correct parts for the cab side of this would be: Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs -Qty 2 # DK227H Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Qty 2 # RRRLKVAH Rhino-Rack Vortex...

  • Recommended Half Roof Rack for 2017 Nissan Frontier
    For your 2017 Nissan Frontier 4 door, the Thule bar you will want is not able to be separated into a half kit. It is simply # TH711420, # TH710501, and # TH145160. My recommendation for you is to instead use Rhino-Rack # RRVA137B, # RRRLKVAH, and # DK108F. This also comes with the locks to secure the half rack to your roof.

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Truck Rack for SUP on a 2016 Toyota Tacoma 4-Door
    Good news, I can help you outfit your 2016 Toyota Tacoma for a SUP. First the roof rack for the cab of the truck you will need is Rhino Rack # DK174H, which is a half custom fit kit designed for your Tacoma. The recommended length bar for your truck cab is the 54 inch aero bar # RRVA137B. To attach this crossbar you will need a half foot pack and that part number is # RRRLKVAH. While we don't sell half kits of the ladder rack for the bed of your truck I recommend the Rhino-Rack T-Load...

    The overall height of the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells # Y02-480B is 5" tall. If you're looking to add a 3rd crossbar to the tracks on the # Y02-480B and not the cab you'll want to use the Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - RTC and RT Roof Rack Tracks - Qty 2 # RRRLT600H and the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar - Aluminum - Black - 54" Long # RRVA137B.

  • Parts for Single Crossbar Roof Rack System on 2017 Ford F-250 Crew Cab
    You have all of the correct parts aside from the fit kit (which is for an F-150). For your 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty you'll need the following: 54" Vortex Crossbar - # RRVA137B 2500 Series Legs - # RRRLKVAH Fit Kit - # DK498 Fairing - # RRRF4 This fit kit is only available with 4 clamps and pads instead of just 2 like the kit you were looking at.

  • Will the Thule Hull-A-Port Fit on Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars
    Yes. The Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs - J-Style - Fixed - Side Loading # TH834 will fit on Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars like the # RRVA137B, but you'll need 1 of these for each kayak. The Hull-A-Port gives you the ability to carry boats that weigh up to 75-lbs. You can also use the Hull-A-Port # TH849000 but it will mount in the T-slot channels instead of clamping around the bars. I've linked some review videos of these kayak carriers for you to check out as well.

    If you are using the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Crossbars like # RRVA137B they have a dimension of 54" long x 3-1/8" wide x 1-3/16" tall which works for Thule boxes that use the PowerClick quick-release clamps, including the Thule Vector Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box # TH613501. The Vector Alpine Rooftop box is literally the NICEST cargo box I have ever had the pleasure of installing. Yes, it is a premium price but it truly is the most premium box you can buy in my opinion.

    Hey that is an interesting question, Rob. The Rhino Rack HD crossbars weigh a tiny bit more than the equivalent length vortex crossbar, but not by much. For example, a single 54" HD bar # RB1375B weighs 4.41 lbs while a single 54" Vortex bar # RRVA137B weighs 4.26 lbs.

    The Rhino-Rack # RRVA137B crossbars you have (1375mm long) will work with the Thule Hullavator # TH898 given that you have between 4" and 6" of overhang measured from the foot of roof rack to the end of the crossbar. There is no special adapter needed to install this on your crossbar.

  • Fitment of Older Yakima and Thule Systems on a 2014 Nissan Frontier and 2015 Ford C-Max
    Thank you for all of the info and the pictures! When I looked at everything it sadly looks like none of your current older equipment will fit your newer vehicles save for the Thule bars on the C-Max. For your 2014 Nissan Frontier you can either use a 1 or 2 bar roof rack with a load extender or a ladder rack (or by itself) if you want. Here is a list of the following: 2-bar roof rack: 54" Vortex Crossbars - # RRVA137B-2 2500 Series Legs - # RRRLKVA Fit Kit - # DK374 1-bar roof rack: 54"...

    Hey Rusty, this is a great question and I can appreciate the homework you did on this. So we just rolled out single part number roof rack solutions for vehicles after years of giving people a bunch of individual part numbers (like literally earlier this week) and there has been a bug where some of the racks are only including one bar including the part # RR24ZE that fits your 2015 Ford Edge.

  • How to Carry 2 Kayaks on a 2015 Toyota Tacoma
    There are several different ways you can carry 2 kayaks with your 2015 Toyota Tacoma. First, you could put them in the bed of the truck and use a tailgate pad such as # S64761 to protect both the truck and the kayaks and to secure the kayaks to the tailgate and pad. Another option is to utilize your trailer hitch (as long as it is a 2 inch hitch) and half of a roof rack. It sounds a little strange but if you put one crossbar on the roof and then used the Yakima LongArm, # Y01149-1150,...
