Can Yakima HighRoad Bike Rack Fit Into Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar T-Slot Track?

Question

Question:

What are the dimensions of the Rhino Rack PN: VA180B -Vortex Bar top slot, and are they compatible with the Yakima HighRoad bike rack with T-slot adapter? Yakima support suggested using their JetStream bar dimensions compatible with the Yakima HighRoad bike rack with T-slot adapter for comparison

Yes, the Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On # Y02114 is compatible with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars. You can either use the included clamps, or you can use Yakima T-Slot Adapter # Y02122 to fit the HighRoad into the Rhino-Rack top track. I also recommend adding Yakima SKS Lock Cores (QTY 2) # Y07202 to secure the bike and bike rack to the roof. I attached demonstration videos for you to check out.

You'll want to go with the 39H as the 23H is for narrower bars. The 39H will fit 3-1/8" wide x 1" tall crossbars like you said, so they WILL work with the Yakima Jetstream and Thule WingBar crossbars, because both of those crossbars are…
