Rhino-Rack Series 6 Pioneer Platform Coming Soon!

Rhino-Rack and their Pioneer Platforms are a staple on the roof of hundreds of thousands of vehicles traveling the roads of Australia every day. The Series 6 Pioneer Platform is Rhino-Rack’s biggest redesign yet with dozens of exciting upgrades and changes that improve the quality and performance of Australia’s favourite platform. 

Exploring the Pioneer Series 6 Platform

Rhino-Rack has completely redesigned its platform system for the Series 6, but here are three of the biggest changes that are likely to benefit you the most:

• Lighter Than Ever -  With a 20% reduced weight, you can carry more than before.
• Reduced Drag – Save petrol and reduce noise with a new aerodynamic design reducing drag by 60%!
• Improved Performance – 25% more useable channels mean more options.

As mentioned before, this is more than just a revision, with Rhino-Rack going back to the drawing board with some further dramatic changes.

Keep It Tough

The Series 6 employs higher strength, lightweight alloys to achieve its reduced weight without compromising on carrying capacity. You can rest assured that this is still a market leader when it comes to capacity. 

To make things even better, Rhino-Rack is protecting the Series 6 with a harder coating aiding the platform in scuff resistance and damage from dragged objects.

Keep It Simple

Despite having more channel space to use than ever before in a Pioneer platform, the Series 6 keeps things simple with easy-to-remove corner covers providing quick access to the side, front, and rear channels – no tools required!

Keep It Swift

The underbars and front edge of the platform have been revised with a new aerodynamic design dramatically reducing drag. Rhino-Rack has also introduced detachable wind fairing inserts to reduce drag even further without compromising useable space.

Innovating efficiency

Drag is a big problem when it comes to roof racks and platforms. The higher the drag on your roof, the harder your vehicle needs to work to compensate. All of this can quickly add up to increase your fuel costs and reduce EV mileage. 
The Series 6 Pioneer Platform employs new technologies and techniques to reduce drag by 60%
