00016 – Factor 55 Hawse Fairlead 1.0

Big Radius. Low Friction. Longer Rope Life.

This is not your average Hawse fairlead. The Factor 55 1.0 Aluminum Hawse Fairlead is CNC machined in the USA from a solid 1-inch thick 6000 series aluminum bar — not the wimpy 0.75" fairleads most companies sell.

Why go thicker? Because larger outer radii reduce friction on your synthetic winch rope during hard-angle pulls. That means less wear, less heat, and a longer lifespan for your rope — especially when things get sketchy off-camber or during suck-down winching.

Also, if you're running larger ½” rope tube thimbles, this fairlead's taller slot is designed to let them pass cleanly — no snagging, no forcing, no sketchy jamming.

Key Features:

  • 1.0" thick 6000-series USA aluminum bar (CNC machined)

  • Designed for synthetic winch rope only

  • Taller slot height – fits larger ½” rope tube thimbles

  • Extra-large outer fillet radius = less stress on rope

  • Chamfered outer corners reduce stress when used for suspension suck-down

  • Gunmetal gray hard anodized (MIL-A-8625F TYPE III)

  • Machined Factor 55 logo – clean, sharp, no decals

  • Compatible with most standard winch mounts

  • Made in the USA

Why You Need This:

  • Keeps your synthetic rope alive longer — even under hard-angle pulls

  • Built specifically for off-roaders using modern ½” rope setups

  • Stronger, slicker, and better-looking than standard ¾” fairleads

  • No rattle, no flex, no-nonsense

Fitment Notes:

  • Bolt Pattern: Standard 10" mounting centers

  • Works with most winch bumpers & synthetic rope winches

  • Not for use with steel cable

  • Pair it with a Factor 55 FlatLink, UltraHook, or Rope Guard for a fully integrated system

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Can I use this with steel cable?
A: No. This is for synthetic rope only — using steel will damage both the fairlead and the cable.

Q: Does it come with mounting hardware?
A: No, it’s just the fairlead. Use your winch's existing hardware or upgrade to stainless bolts.

Q: What size rope does this support?
A: Works with common synthetic ropes, including setups with ½" tube thimbles.
