Today, Ravin announced the development of the brand's most advanced crossbow to date — the R470. The new flagship rig combines a compact design with exceptional speed, durability, and a silent, effortless cocking system.

The R470, engineered as the complete crossbow package, is a feature-rich powerhouse designed to inspire confidence no matter the hunting scenario. Measuring just 26.75 inches long and 8.4 pounds, the R470’s compact build and elevated user interface is built for true maneuverability and functionality without sacrificing performance. With a velocity of 470 feet per second and a power stroke of 13 inches, this crossbow delivers 196 foot-pounds of kinetic energy for maximum impact, all without added stress throughout the system.

Ravin’s all-new R470 is engineered for peak performance, delivering extreme speeds that perfectly complement its exceptional accuracy. At its core is the HexCoil Cam System, with dual cables above and below the centerline to create a perfectly centered arrow path. With 300 degrees of rotation, it delivers blistering speed, perfect balance, and elite downrange accuracy, all in one of the most compact designs in the Ravin lineup.

Equipped with Ravin’s proprietary VersaDrive Cocking System, the R470 features a revolutionary dual lead screw drive for a smooth, effortless draw. The internal brake allows cocking and uncocking to pause or resume at any point, while the built-in clutch prevents over-cocking, ensuring silent and seamless operation. With an axle-to-axle width of just 4.3 inches when cocked and 8 inches when uncocked, the new flagship model comes fully assembled and ready for action. It includes Ravin’s 100-Yard Illuminate 550 FPS crossbow scope, three .003 arrows with field tips, a removable draw handle, a quiver, and a mounting bracket.

“The crossbow industry is an ever-changing landscape; the R470 is the result of years of innovation and research, perfectly blending our technologies into one superior bow,” said Russ Rowan, Chief Brand Officer at Ravin Crossbows. “We continue leading the way by offering crossbows combining high-performance velocities with the durability and incredible accuracy our consumers expect. Ravin crossbows allow hunters to spend more time in the woods and less time worrying about their crossbow setup.”
