Core Features That Matter

HBX Gen 4 Cam System

When you look closely at the cams, you’ll notice Hoyt’s signature innovation: the HBX Gen 4 Cam System. It’s not just aesthetically clean—it feels crisp and refined. Every inch of draw is efficient and predictable. You can fine-tune the let-off or the wall feel, dialing in the experience exactly how you like it.

Carbon Riser Construction

The carbon riser feels featherlight the moment you pick it up, but it doesn’t flex or twist. Its structural integrity means that as you anchor in and line up your sight, the bow stays locked in. Even in cold weather, that carbon stays neutral—no shocking chill like you get with aluminum.

Enhanced Limb and Pocket Design

Give the bow a slight rock in your hand and you’ll notice the balance. The TXL limbs and B6 limb pocket system stabilize the riser perfectly. No torquing. No shifting. Just a dead-straight hold that instills confidence before every release.

WireWRX Strings and Cables

Your string touches your nose—steady, in line, and silent. The WireWRX system holds its tune, keeping each shot identical to the last. No buzz. No stretch. Just control.

Performance Where It Counts

Speed You Can Feel

Let that arrow fly, and you’ll feel the energy transfer instantly. The RX-9 Ultra pushes the envelope:

• 30-inch draw: +8 fps
• 29-inch draw: +19 fps
• 28.5-inch draw: +18 fps
• 28-inch draw: +16 fps

It doesn’t just read fast on paper—it feels explosive without any harshness in the hand.

Comfort at Full Draw

Settle into full draw and notice the lack of stack or creep. The back wall is solid. There’s a calm right before the release—a bow that helps you pause, aim, and execute with authority.

Stability and Accuracy

At 33.5 inches axle-to-axle, the RX-9 Ultra feels familiar and forgiving. Whether you’re kneeling behind brush or taking a steep uphill shot, it holds like a target bow. And once you shoot it, the feedback is immediate—solid, centered, and smooth.

Pros and Cons
