The maintenance kit page is the least glamorous and most useful corner of the Ravin catalog. The premise is one sentence long: replacing the string and cables prior to every other hunting season is best practice and should become a regular part of crossbow ownership. The kits exist to make that sentence easy to act on.
Selection is by bow, and the page covers the whole current range: the R470 and R500 models, the R29 and R29X, the R26 and R26X, the R10 and R10X, the R8, the R18 and the LR. Each kit bundles the parts that keep a Ravin shooting the way it left the factory, matched to the specific cam geometry, draw weight and rail dimensions of that model, which matters on bows whose strings and cables are as model-specific as everything else Ravin makes.
The reason the recommendation exists at all is the nature of the product. A crossbow at 450 or 500 feet per second stores serious energy, and serving separation or cable wear that would be a tuning nuisance on slower bows becomes a safety event on these. Building the replacement into the calendar, rather than waiting for visible wear, is how owners avoid finding the limit the interesting way.
The current promotion takes up to 20 percent off, which makes the math friendlier, and pairing a kit with the $129.99 factory string and cable set for your model covers the entire off-season service in one order. Bow owners who do their own pressing save the shop fee, and everyone else should book the press appointment before the season does.
The kit page carries the live discount and the model selector, and it is worth checking ahead of the season rather than during it.
