Synthetic winch rope is stronger, lighter, and safer than steel cable — but it's also more susceptible to damage from abrasive contact. A traditional steel fairlead has edges and surfaces that can fray and weaken synthetic rope over time, especially under load. The Viper Machine billet hawse eliminates that problem with a smooth, continuous machined surface that guides rope cleanly in and out without any abrasive contact. It's the right fairlead for synthetic rope, period. Browse all UTV accessories for more KRX upgrades.
Q: Do I need a winch mount already installed?
A: Yes — this plate replaces the front plate on your existing winch mount. A winch mount must already be installed on your KRX 1000.
Q: Is the billet hook shown in the images included?
A: No — the billet hook shown in product images is not included with this kit.
Q: Why use a billet hawse instead of a steel fairlead for synthetic rope?
A: Steel fairleads have abrasive edges that fray and weaken synthetic rope over time. The smooth machined aluminum surface of this hawse guides rope cleanly without any abrasive contact.
Q: Does this work with all synthetic winch ropes?
A: Yes — this hawse is designed for use with synthetic winch rope and is compatible with standard winch setups on the KRX 1000.
Q: What hardware is included?
A: Hex mounting bolts are included for installation to your existing winch mount.
Q: Is this compatible with steel wire rope?
A: This hawse is designed and optimized for synthetic rope. If you're running steel cable, a traditional roller fairlead is recommended instead.
