Hoyt RX-9: The Next Generation of Carbon Power

Hoyt’s RX-8 set the standard, but they weren’t finished. For 2025, Hoyt has pushed the limits even further with the all-new RX-9—a carbon flagship hunting bow built for hunters who demand speed, efficiency, and stability in the field.

With a re-engineered riser geometry, updated limbs and pockets, and the highly refined HBX Gen 4 cam system, the RX-9 is lighter, faster, and more stable than its predecessor. The result? A bow that’s deadly accurate, ultra-light, and rock solid at full draw.

Efficiency Redefined

The RX-9 delivers an impressive jump in performance, with up to a 20 FPS speed increase across all draw lengths and poundages compared to the RX-8. Even with this boost in speed, the RX-9 maintains a smooth draw cycle—thanks to redesigned limbs, stronger limb pockets, and optimized riser geometry. At the heart of it all is the HBX Gen 4 cam, engineered to squeeze every ounce of energy from each draw length and weight, ensuring no power goes to waste.

“Dead in the Hand” Performance

Carbon bows are known for reducing hand shock, but the RX-9 goes further. With its new riser design and balanced build, the RX-9 delivers one of the most shock-free shooting experiences ever created in a carbon bow. Instead of simply minimizing vibration, Hoyt has eliminated it—providing a consistent, comfortable shot that feels natural and repeatable, no matter how long you’re in the field.
