Hoyt Formula Xi 25in 2020 Recurve Riser Description

In its foundation year the Formula X had tremendous success on various competition circuits around the globe. The accolades include 17 major tournament wins, setting of a new world record of 702/720 for the Double Olympic 70m round and taking out the World Cup final. The next advancement of this series, the Formula Xi is even more advanced with a series of innovations set to rock recurve target archery.

The Formula Xi 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.

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 Xi 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, which delivers superior speed and stability offered in no other system.

The Formula Xi 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 Xi riser is ultra adjustable and ultra accurate.

Each Formula Xi 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. These 3 plates allow for an array of different tuning options to maximise the most accuracy out of your bow.

The Formula Xi comes equipped with all new high performance aluminium tiller bolts. Quality tiller bolts aid in precise limb alignment and solid fitment. The tiller bolts remain 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.

Continuing on from the Formula X is the 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 riser cut outs, enabling clean, easy weight adjustment that helps you pick up points on your scorecard. 3.3 ounces or 93.56 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.

The Formula Xi features the new Recurve Riser Limb Adjustment Technology by Hoyt. The system is designed to adjust the string tension of the bow, giving a different feel at full draw when pulling through the clicker depending on what position is used.

The system works as follows:

  • Top Hole (Position 1) is the Ultimate Performance Setting. This has the highest string tension for a more aggressive pull through the clicker in high tension/adrenaline situations
  • Middle Hole (Position 2) is the Hybrid Performance Setting. This is a combination of performance and smoothness
  • Bottom Hole (Position 3) is the Ultimate Smoothness Setting. The same pair of limbs will feel smoother through the clicker

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.
