Hoyt Carbon RX-9 Ultra Compound Bow

Hoyt took what hunters loved about the RX-8—and pushed it even further.

Meet the 2025 Hoyt RX-9 Ultra, Hoyt’s premier carbon hunting bow. With a redesigned riser, new limbs and limb pockets, and the ultra-efficient HBX Gen 4 cam system, the RX-9 Ultra delivers exceptional accuracy, feather-light handling, and remarkable stability.

What truly sets the RX-9 Ultra apart is its unmatched efficiency. At every draw length and poundage, this bow gains speed over the RX-8 Ultra—often up to 20 FPS faster—while still maintaining a lighter overall build and a smoother draw cycle. The updated geometry and limb system play a major role, but the real star is the HBX Gen 4 module system, engineered to harness every ounce of available energy. No wasted motion. No lost performance. Just maximum power at every setting.

The upgraded carbon riser also creates one of the most shock-free shooting experiences ever offered in a carbon bow. Many carbon platforms aim to reduce hand shock—the RX-9 Ultra eliminates it. The result is a bow that feels dead-steady on release, promoting comfort, consistency, and confidence through every shot in the field.
