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!

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.
