For accessories that will fit the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System with 2 Heavy-Duty Square Crossbars # Y01-140B, I highly recommend staying within the Rhino-Rack family of products. Rhino-Rack makes some quality racks and carriers, and the offer specific adapters to allow some of these products to mount to their heavy-duty crossbars.

The bike rack options I have for you will allow you to keep the tire installed on your bike during transport. First we have the Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack, Wheel Mount, Clamp On, Aluminum # RRRBC050. I like this rack because it will hold your bike by the front and rear wheels to secure it to your vehicle's roof, leaving the bike frame untouched. The Heavy-Duty Crossbar Mounting Kit for Hybrid Roof Bike Carrier is # RRRBCA035. This kit will allow you to mount the bike rack in the channel on top of the Heavy-Duty Crossbars. I've attached a review video of this bike rack for you.

The other bike rack option is the Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof-Mount Bike Carrier # RRRBC050. The kit that will adapt this bike rack to fit the Heavy-Duty crossbars is the Fitting Kit # RBCA003. The Discovery rack will hold your vehicle by the frame bar. I've attached a review video of this carrier for you.

Rhino-Rack's fork-mount bike racks are not compatible with and do not have a kit for the Heavy-Duty Crossbars.
