Great quality, easy to install, I highly recommend this item for all of
your bicycling needs,



by:

Great bike rack with very little assembly. I immediately put my Specialized Fatboy on the rack and took it to the trails for a ride. Rack kept bike very secure and it was easy to load the bike.



by:

Was very happy with the bike mount. It went together very easy, fit my rails and my bike great. Only complaint is that there was no padding on the rear rail clamp. I didn’t want to rub the paint off my rails so I added a thin piece of rubber and it works perfectly.



by:

The tire straps are very poorly designed. They don't stay in the groves...pop out. I've now drilled and used a small bolt and washer so it can't cone out of the groves. For this money it should be a better design



by:

Best roof rack I've purchased. I've had it for over a year. It's way better than Thule - more secure and way easier to take on and off - and less expensive. I use it for my road bike and fat back with equal ease. The unique way it attaches to your car rack makes it likely to fit almost any rack. For me, I've used it for a 2016 Sequoia and a 2017 Macan S. BTW, this is one of the few racks I've found that nicely carry a fat back. My tires are 4.5" wide, 26.5 tall...also used it for my 29er on occasion, but fat bikes are way more fun than 29ers.
If I were to complain, it is the arm gets a bit stiff sometimes and need to oil it, where my Thule is less inclined to need it...but this complaint does not diminish it from being an excellent/5 start product.



by:

Great quality bike rack when paired with the Rhino-rack cross beams. When I use the bike rack and cross beams they are attached to my 2016 Subaru STi and I have drove it fairly aggressively with the bikes on the roof. Everything has stayed attached just fine.

The only thing I will point out is that you should check the attachment hardware every few uses because it will occasionally vibrate loose, nothing serious but if you never pay attention to this your bikes may fly off your roof! Ez fix though. I rate the rack 10/10 in my experience.

Thanks for your valuable feedback and insight, Daniel! I know this will be helpful to someone in the future.



by:

Couldn’t be more satisfied with my decision to go with this bike rack, was on the fence between brands but Rhino Rack makes it beyond easy to use, from installing it on the racks, to daily use is just unbelievably simple! 100% would recommend to anyone looking into bike racks. Also huge selling point for sure is that it covers a very wide range of tire sizes where others are very specific!



by:

I love the racks, instructions were understandable, one of my end caps came in bad, it can wiggle off after locking but I emailed etrailer and they arranged a replacement quick with rhino rack, pretty nice of them, comes with rhino rack decal and just have to decide where to put it, out my bike up and took it for a test drive and it was very nice, I love their package because it comes with locks and way cheaper than the competitors, very satisfied



by:

Great bike carrier! Etrailer always provides me with high quality products with fast deliveries.



by:

I haven’t had the roof rack and the bike rack long enough to give a more detailed review but so far parts look amazing. Great quality, they hold my bike pretty good, no weird noises, a bit if wind noise but definitely not loud/ it doesn’t bother at all. But overall great product and company. Fast shipping as well and great updates.

I’ll update the review in a couple months.



by:

This is a well built rack and carrier. The installation is straight forward. The enclosed instructions are helpful. This is the easiest roof mount bike carrier I have used

This roof-mounted bike rack is rock solid and has held up flawlessly. The finish has not weathered or faded at all - impressive quality. All of that, plus it was easy to install.

Excellent. I like the robustness and utility of the bike attachments. I added the four ski carrier to my truck bed carrier.



by:

One year in! Easy to install. Looks sweet. Holds strong. Just be sure to latch it tight right up against your bike’s front frame!



by:

I've used this combo, Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero & Hybrid Roof Bike Rack for many months while camping across many states over thousands of highway and rural roads. They've held on great with no problems at all. The bikes slip into the rack easily and don't wobble at any speed. The locking system is easy and effective. The crossbar system is completely steady with a load, very good looking and feels/looks like a very high quality accessory. I have zero regrets with this purchase.



by:

Great Racks! Easy to install and they look great. Good quality material.



by:

Works very well for what we wanted. It is mounted on a ramp rack for a trike to enable a single bike as well.



by:

Very impressed with the quality and build of this rack. Assembly was pretty straight forward. It fits well on my Thule rack with aero bars, holds my older Cannondale mountain bike securely and seems to be removed easily when not in use. I chose this style it would be a little more future proof and universal vs a fork mount. I purchased this model by recommendation from the etrailer YouTube video due to it being more easily removed than the similar Thule model. That was a BIG plus for me. I don't always need it attached. Bonus is that it includes the locks. Super happy with the purchase. Etrailer gave me a great shopping experience and shipped quickly.



by:

EASY TO ASSEMBLE AND LOOKS GREAT ON T RUCK.



by:

GREAT PRODUCT AND GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. CAN'T ASK FOR ANYTHING BETTER THAN ETRAILER!



by:

Great option for one bike. Keep the tires on. Doesn't rock at all. Key and lock ensures it can't come out



by:

Bike carrier is as advertised, easy to operate along with providing great security and one key for all locks, also E-trailer delivered as advertised with the best price.

  • Recommended Crossbars for a Roll-N-Lock M-series XT Tonneau Cover
    Yes, it is! I took a look at the Roll-N-Lock M-Series XT cover that fits your 2021 Chevy Colorado. Since it has the integrated T-Slot rails you can install the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars item # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 you were looking at. These have a 220 lbs capacity. For a bike rack you can use the Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack item # RRRBC050. This is a wheel mounted bike rack that has a 45 lbs capacity. It fits bikes with 20" - 29" wheels and is our highest capacity bike rack that mounts...

    For a boltless or clipless option for your 2016 Chevy Malibu, we have the SeaSucker Komodo Trunk Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Vacuum Cup Mounted - Black # 298-BK1910-BK. This will allow you to carry your bike without contact with a hitch or the clips of a traditional trunk mounted bike carrier.

  • Can The Thule Sidearm TH594 Be Made To Work With ProRac Crossbars?
    Hello Luis. It may be possible to use your Thule Sidearm TH594 bike racks on the ProRac on your pop up camper. Do these ProRac bars have a T-track on top? Based on what I can find online it appears that we do, although we do not carry this brand so I am not 100% sure about that. If the bars do have T-tracks, you can use the Thule # Xadapt1. This will allow you to mount your rack to the T-track. If the ProRac crossbars do not have T-tracks I am afraid there is no way to mount the Sideam...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2013 Nissan Cube and Buick Verana and Bike Rack, Kayak Carrier and Box
    The closest option for a roof rack that fits both your 2013 Buick Verano and Nissan Cube will be a Rhino Rack Vortex rack that allows you to use the same foot kit between the two part # RRRLKVA but the bar lengths and fit kits are different for each vehicle. The Verano needs the shorter bar length of # RRVA118B-2 and the Cube needs the longer # RRVA137S-2. The Verano needs the fit kit # DK340 and the Cube needs the fit kit # DK263.

    Starting with a hitch for your 2008 Toyota Corolla S, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11265. It features a bolt on installation and has a max tongue weight of 200 lbs for accessories. Since Class I is the only option available you are pretty limited on your carrier selection. You can choose from one of the following: -17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs # C18145 (Weighs 29 lbs) -19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel...

  • Roof Rack/Bike Rack/Kayak Carrier For 2013 Ford Focus ST
    After looking at the 2013 Ford Focus ST, I do not believe a roof rack and bike rack would interfere with the rear spoiler. It appears that the crossbars would sit several inches above the level of the spoiler. So you would be able to fit a roof rack and bike rack on the roof. My only concern would be opening the rear hatch. With a bike rack installed you may come close to contacting the hatch when it opens. You will want to open the hatch very carefully until you are sure that you have...

  • Recommended Crossbars for Carrying 4 Bikes on 2023 Toyota Tundra Truck Bed
    The Thule ProBar Evo Crossbars # TH713700 could certainly work, but you have other options and I wouldn't really recommend them. Instead, I would go with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax XR and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers # RRVA180B-RRRLT600. Not only will this save you some money, it also looks better and will be more aerodynamic. This comes with 71" crossbars which should be enough for your bikes and won't have too much overhang on the sides. Without knowing what bikes...

  • Roof Rack and Bike Rack Solution for 2007 GMC Savana Van 1500
    We don't have any front hitches that fit your 2007 GMC Savana 1500. Since you probably have something in your rear hitch a roof rack and roof bike rack might be your best option. For that we have the Inno Square Bar roof rack part numbers # INB165 and # INSD. Then for a bike rack you could use the Rhino Rack Hybrid bike rack part # RRRBC050.

This specific bike rack requires a 21-5/8" to 39-3/4" crossbar spread and has a capacity of 45lbs. It attaches to the ladder rack bar with clamps and will secure the bike with wheel straps and a ratcheting frame arm.

We also have the 65" version that will also fit if you are looking for a shorter setup. That is the # RRVA165B-RRRLT600.

For a roof mount bike rack that will fit these roof racks and also be quite stable I recommend the MountainTrail # RBC035. this is a fork mount bike rack so the front bike wheel does have to come off.

The bikes would likely need to be offset meaning the handlebars in front for one bike and the seat-post in front for the other and so on. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack part # RRRBC050 so you don't have to remove any wheels/tires.

I would not recommend using this carrier for a bike that has a wheelbase of 50". To verify the wheelbase of your bike, you can measure from the center of one wheel to the center of the next wheel and determine the distance as seen in the attached photo. If your bike's wheelbase is in fact 50" then I would look into the Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Mounted Bike Rack...

To mount a system to these slider rails you will need the Nylon Inserts - part # TAFX-42008 (8) as two are required per base.

The mounting hardware will fit on crossbars that are up to 3-3/4 inches wide. So as long as the crossbars on both vehicles meet the above requirements the rack will fit! I have...

  • Where to Store Front Bike Wheels when Using Roof Bike Racks on a 2016 Ford Focus
    The short answer is that when using a fork mounted roof bike rack the front wheels will have to go wherever you can put them. Or you could use the Thule Front Wheel Carrier # TH98BV which will also mount to a roof rack and hold the front wheel of a bike. Another option is to use a bike rack that holds the bike at the frame or wheel. For example the Rhino-Rack Hybrid # RRRBC050 holds the bike at the wheels. I have linked video reviews of both of these racks for you.
