Can Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack Fit in Channels of Vortex Crossbars  

Updated 12/22/2025 | Published 10/02/2024

Question:

I am considering purchasing two Rhino Rack Hybrid Bike Racks to go on a pair of Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax XR Part Number: RRVA180B-RRRLT600. The description of the bike racks states that they are clamp-on style clamps around the crossbars. Can these bike racks be attached to the crossbars using the T-slots in the crossbars if I also purchase the Rhino Rack C-Channel Fit Kit for Hybrid Bike C? If this kit works with this bike rack, do you sell it or is it already included with the bike rack? If you sell it, how much is it, and what is your part number?

Hey Scott,

We do have exactly what you need for both the rack and kit that allows mounting into the Vortex crossbars. It doesn't come with the bike rack so you'll need to get it separately, but what you're looking for is the following:

- Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack # RRRBC050

- Top Channel Mounting Kit for Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Carrier # RRRBCA034

You'll simply replace the clamps with the channel nut hardware, and I've added a cutout from the instructions of the # RRRBC050 which show that.

Hey Scott, how did the setup go with the Hybrid Bike Racks and the Top Channel Mounting Kit on your Vortex crossbars? Your results could really help others looking to mount their racks the same way.
