Roof-Mount Bike Rack Compatibility with Various Roof Rack Crossbar Designs for 2011 Hyundai Sonata
Question:
hello, im currently looking at your Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Vortex Aero crossbars for my 2011 Hyundai Sonata. i had a receiver hitch before and i really just want a roof rack mounted system. My question here is, with this specific bar set up for the roof, would i be able to use lets say- a Thule bike rack on this system? i believe i saw another customer with the rhino crossbars and a Thule bike carrier... would love some info and feedback on this if possible. thank you guys!

Expert Reply:
The key for compatibility of roof racks and the accessories that mount to them, such as a Thule bike rack, is the shape of the crossbar. That determines if the accessory's mounting hardware can fit properly. For all of the Rhino-Rack aero-style roof racks we offer for your 2011 Hyundai Sonata(all are shown on the linked page) just about any roof-mount accessory that can fit aero/elliptical style bars will work.
Let's say you like the sleek OEM look of the Rhino-Rack black crossbar system # RR73RR. On this rack you can use any aero-bar-compatible roof-mount bike rack shown on the linked page, such as the Thule FastRide # TH95JV. A video for this rack is included for you. The Thule ProRide rack you referenced, part # TH598004, is also able to fit the Rhino Rack crossbars.
The linked article of roof bike racks may be helpful to you in selecting a carrier that suits the design of your specific bike.
