An 8.0HP series-wound motor paired with a performance-tuned 80:1 gear ratio gives this winch the quickest line speed in the Scout Pro RS Series, so you're not standing around waiting for cable to pay out on a distant anchor point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the race-spec end of Carbon Offroad's line-up. The RS9 sits on the weight-optimised V3 chassis, trimming front-axle weight so your steering and suspension aren't fighting a heavy lump of iron over the front wheels. You still get a rated line pull of up to 4080kg (9000lb), a full 42 metres of 8mm Spectra™ Fibre synthetic rope for reaching anchor points that would otherwise need an extension, and a MegaPro Hook fitted as standard rather than sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's aimed at drivers who care about cycle times as much as raw pulling power: winch challenge and competition entrants, and anyone running a fast-paced touring or 4WD adventure setup who wants their recovery gear to keep up. The RS9 bolts onto a standard 254mm x 114.3mm mounting pattern, so it drops into most compatible bull bars and winch cradles without custom fabrication, and it's ready to run the Carbon Offroad Air Freespool Clutch Upgrade if you want to ditch the manual clutch lever down the track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-speed gearing\u003c\/strong\u003e - An 8.0HP 12V series-wound motor and 80:1 gear ratio, tuned specifically for fast line speed under load, not just raw torque.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight-optimised V3 chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e - Built to cut front-axle weight so handling and suspension performance stay closer to standard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e42m of Spectra™ Fibre synthetic rope\u003c\/strong\u003e - 8mm (5\/16\") UHMWPE rope for extended reach to anchor points further from the vehicle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMegaPro Hook included\u003c\/strong\u003e - Competition-grade hook fitted as standard, not an optional extra.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP68 sealed\u003c\/strong\u003e - High-grade seals keep water, dust and mud out of the internals during creek crossings and dusty runs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard mounting footprint\u003c\/strong\u003e - 254mm x 114.3mm bolt pattern fits most compatible bull bars and winch cradles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAir Freespool ready\u003c\/strong\u003e - Compatible with the Carbon Offroad Air Freespool Clutch Upgrade (sold separately) for onboard-air-controlled freespooling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacked by Carbon Offroad's warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e - Limited Lifetime Mechanical Warranty, 5-year Electrical Warranty, and 5-year Water Ingress Protection Warranty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification (Metric \/ Imperial)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRated Line Pull\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4080kg (9000lbs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.0HP 12V Series-Wound\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGear Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80:1 Heavy-Duty Performance Gearing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRope Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8mm x 42m (5\/16\" x 137ft)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRope Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpectra™ Fiber Synthetic UHMWPE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater\/Dust Sealing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP68 Rated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWinch Dimensions (L x W x H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e572mm x 158mm x 187mm (22.52\" x 6.22\" x 7.36\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrum Dimensions (Diameter x Length)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e63mm x 224mm (2.5\" x 8.8\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting Bolt Pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e254mm x 114.3mm (10\" x 4.5\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChassis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbon Offroad Version 3 (V3)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eLine Pull, Speed \u0026amp;

Exact sizing depends on your vehicle and how the winch will be wired in, so it's worth checking with a qualified auto electrician for your specific setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs synthetic rope better than steel cable for a winch like this?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RS9 comes standard with 8mm Spectra™ Fibre synthetic rope rather than steel cable. Synthetic rope is lighter, which supports the RS9's front-axle weight-saving design, and it doesn't store the same kinetic energy as steel if it fails under load. Steel cable is more abrasion-resistant on sharp rock, but for a speed and weight-focused winch like the RS9, synthetic is the standard fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs the RS9 compatible with the Carbon Offroad Air Freespool Clutch Upgrade?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
