A new standard has been set in target recurve archery. This is the most dynamic, responsive feeling riser with no residual vibration that Hoyt has ever engineered.

The Carbon Velos limbs feature Hoyt's narrowest limb shape and tip, all while maintaining their trusted torsional stability.

They are also the fastest recurve limbs in the history of Hoyt.

Dovetail adjustment block and tiller bolt system is built to maximise accuracy and consistency, the dovetail adjustment block allows for micro adjustments for an ultra-precise tune all while the bow is strung and the tiller bolts create a rock-solid connection of limbs to riser.

Dynamic Flex Control where every section of the riser has been meticulously engineered to control flex throughout the entire shot cycle, maximising efficiency and improving accuracy. This is the most accurate recurve riser Hoyt has ever built.

Dynamic Balance Design. By engineering more of the riser mass to the pocket ends Hoyt has created the most balanced recurve riser ever. This specific weight distribution also creates a very crisp, clean shot for ultimate accuracy and consistency. One shot and you will immediately feel the difference.

Formula X Risers are the most revolutionary recurve risers since the last time Hoyt revolutionised recurve risers.

Since 1931, Hoyt recurve risers have been the innovating force in the recurve market, continually advancing industry standards of engineering and performance.

Built on the Hoyt Formula platform, the Formula X features the elongated Hoyt Paralever pocket system creating unmatched accuracy, delivering unparalleled precision to limb-riser alignment and a stone-stable shooting platform that reduces overall riser load by 40%. This pocket system offers a smoother limb flex pattern, free of hot spots, that delivers superior speed and stability offered in no other system.

The Formula X is the most refined riser on the planet, designed to be the most adjustable, most tunable, most dominating recurve riser in the history of archery.

Featuring the Pro Series Limb Adjustment Dowels and Verta-Tune clicker plates along with proven, winning geometry, the Formula X riser is ultra adjustable and ultra accurate.

Following on from the success of the VertaTune system, Hoyt has introduced a full 360 degrees for cushion plunger lock-down by recessing a machined aluminium plate into the riser. Hoyt also increased thread depth for better engagement, ensuring the cushion plunger is securely locked in place in all settings. Each Formula X riser comes with 3 machined aluminium VertaTune clicker plates for a low, medium and high rest/plunger position, allowing for 6mm of overall adjustment based on your preference and setup.

The Pro Series Collet style tiller bolt gets an upgrade with a new design to guarantee the internal locking of the tiller bolt remains centered in the pocket, in all conditions, by locking internally against the threads of the riser as the bolt is tightened. The result is ultimate accuracy and precise limb alignment, improved reliability and alignment consistency even in the most demanding conditions.

Dynamic flex control and a pocket system to reduce riser vibration, all while maintaining the optimal weight and balance shooters love.

The Formula X has several advancements over the Prodigy series with a wider front to back riser width providing greater stability and less side to side feedback during the shot, providing responsiveness when needed for the feel of the shot and eliminating any unnecessary movement on release.

Another addition to the Formula X is the new Modular Weight System which allows for riser weight customisation, enabling you to fine-tune your setup based on your personal mass weight and stabilisation preferences. The stainless steel weight modules are custom designed for the Formula X riser cut outs, enabling clean, easy weight adjustment that helps you pick up points on your scorecard. 3.3 ounces or 93.6 grams of weight adjustment is available both near the upper limb and the lower limb, or both ends of the riser for a total of 6.6 ounces of total weight customisation. This allows unparalleled adjustability to the feel of the hold and shot.

Hoyt's revolutionary, patent-pending Pro Series Limb Adjustment Dowels feature standard left and right adjustability and now a ground-breaking perpetuation of Independent Limb Tuning Technology allows for micro adjustments to the limbs, ensuring they always stay centered and balanced throughout the draw cycle.
