Ravin’s pitch is not subtle and never has been: the most accurate crossbows on the planet, built around a handful of patented systems that the rest of the industry has spent years trying to answer. The Trac-Trigger firing system clasps the precise center of the string on every draw for straight-line nock travel, the Versa-Draw cocking system makes the 12-to-17 pound draw a non-event, and the Frictionless Flight system lets the arrow and string float above the rail. Those three ideas are the backbone of every bow on this page.
The current catalog lists 18 crossbows, and the pricing ladder is remarkably even. The new-for-2026 R8 opens the range at $1,249.99, with the R8 XK7 at $1,449.99 directly above it. The R10 family fills the middle: the R10X XK7 at $1,799.99, then the new R10 Pro XK7, R10X Pro and R10X Pro XK7 stepping from $1,649.99 to $2,049.99. The compact bullpup R26X pair sits at $2,049.99 and $2,249.99, and the vertical-limb R18, at $1,749.99, remains the category of one.
The performance tier starts around $2,349.99 with the award-winning R29X and its XK7 sibling, both decorated as Best of 2024, plus the LR, the long-range specialist, and the R29X XK7 RDS with its single-dot dial-to-distance setup, each at $2,549.99. The 470 fps R470 family runs $2,549.99 to $2,749.99, and the 500 fps R500 pair tops the standard range at $2,649.99 and $2,849.99, currently shipping with a free soft case. The crown of the catalog is the R470 XERO XK7 at $4,149.99, wearing the integrated Garmin rangefinding scope.
Choosing among them comes down to honest questions about your hunting. Tight blinds and saddle work point to the R26X or the R18. Open-country distance points to the LR, the R29X and the R470. And the buyer who wants the engineering statement rather than the compromise buys an R500 and calls it a decade.
The official crossbows page keeps the full list with live pricing, stock notes and current promotions, and it is the page worth watching through the season.
