Question:
Hi, What bike racks are compatible with the Rhino-Rack 2500 Roof Rack? For example, are any of these bike racks compatible? Inno Tire Hold II Roof Bike Rack, part # INA389. Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack, part # RRRBC050, Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack, part # TH599000.

All three of those bike racks are compatible. The Rhino-Rack 2500 Roof Rack - Square Crossbars - Naked Roofs or Fixed Mounting Points - 46" Long, part # DS118B, is a roof rack with square crossbars. Nothing is ever absolute, but almost all of our roof bike racks will be compatible with this rack. Finding the one that is the best fit will depend on the features that are most important to you. All of the bike racks in your question are wheel mounted bike racks. For me, the most important features of the wheel mounted racks are as follows:
the ability to lock the bike to the rack,
stability of transport, even with a flat front tire,
ease of use.
The bikes I transport are not really heavy, but that can also be a consideration. My recommendation would be the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On or Channel Mount - Aluminum, part # TH599000. This bike rack secures both sides of your front wheel. The rear wheel strap is adjustable, so this rack will work on bikes with varying lengths of wheelbases. With the addition of the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 2, part # TH450200, you can lock this rack to your vehicle and lock the bike to the rack.
Please remember this Rhino Rack does need a Custom DK Fit Kit For 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Fixed Mounting Points, part # DK289. in order to attach to the roof of your 2011 Mazda 3.
I have included product description links, video review links, and a link to all of the wheel mounted roof racks we sell on our website below.
