Strings and cables are the one consumable every crossbow owner ends up buying, and Ravin makes the purchase simple by selling exactly four sets, each matched to a family of bows and each listed at $129.99. The compatibility split is clean and worth writing down before ordering.
The R190 set covers the R8, R9, R10, R10X, R15, R20, R29, R29X and the LR. The R191 handles the R26, R26X and R5X. The R192 serves the R470 and R500 series, the two HexCoil-flagship bows whose higher draw weights are hardest on a string. And the R193 is dedicated to the vertical-limb R18, whose compact architecture shares nothing with the horizontal bows.
Why replace them at all is a question the maintenance page answers directly: Ravin treats replacing the string and cables before every other hunting season as best practice, not as a repair. High-speed crossbows are hard on serving and cable life in ways casual shooting does not reveal, and a season-opening snap at full draw is a story nobody wants to be the subject of. The pre-hunt maintenance kits, currently discounted up to 20 percent, bundle this work with the other tune-up items.
Installation is worth a note: these are press-level jobs on most models, and owners who do not press their own strings should factor a shop visit into the true cost. The part itself, at $129.99 across the board, is honest pricing for genuine factory components measured for the exact cam geometry of your bow.
The official string and cables page confirms the current price and the compatibility list for each set, and it is the page to check before adding to the cart.
