Hoyt Enduro Review: The Best Mid-Price Bow of 2026? Full Specs, Speed Test, and First Impressions

by Zakk Plocica

Hoyt Archery has officially launched its newest mid-price point compound bow, the Hoyt Enduro—and it’s already turning heads. Designed to replace the popular Hoyt Torrex, the Enduro brings flagship-level performance and features to a more affordable price range.

At Extreme Outfitters, we just got our hands on the Hoyt Enduro, and we’re breaking down everything you need to know — from specs and build quality to draw cycle, feel, and real-world speed test results.

Hoyt Enduro Specifications

Let’s start with the key specs of the Hoyt Enduro:

Axle-to-Axle: 30.25 inches
Brace Height: 7 inches
Weight: 4.9 lbs (bare bow with whisker biscuit)
Draw Length Range: 24–30 inches
Draw Weight Options: (35-50lbs, 45-60lbs, 55-70lbs)
Price: $749 (bare bow) / $899 (Ready-to-Hunt Package)
Measured Speed: 287 FPS (70 lbs, 29” draw, 412-grain arrow)

These numbers put the Hoyt Enduro right in the sweet spot for hunters looking for premium performance without the flagship price tag.

Build, Design & Features

The Hoyt Enduro is built on a tough aluminum platform with Hoyt’s proven HBX Cam system, delivering a balance of power and shootability.

Unlike its predecessor, the Torrex, the Enduro uses shim tuning instead of a yoke system—making it easier to fine-tune your setup for perfect arrow flight. The bow features quarter-inch threaded axles for easy tuning and adjustment.

You’ll also find all of Hoyt’s premium integration features, including:

Picatinny mounted sight compatibility
Integrated rest mounting option
Go-Stix 2.0 compatibility
SL sidebar mount built directly into the riser

Even the limb pockets, crafted from a durable polymer composite, are designed for consistency and alignment under pressure.

On the Range: First Impressions

Once we hit the range, the Hoyt Enduro showed its character right away. It’s a touch heavier than the old Torrex coming in close to a pound more—but that added mass translates to improved stability and a solid shooting platform.

The Vital Point grip deserves special mention. It’s comfortable, repeatable, and consistent—qualities Hoyt shooters have come to expect.

Draw Cycle and Feel

The draw cycle is slightly stiffer than some of Hoyt’s higher-end carbon bows, but it remains smooth and predictable throughout. The back wall is firm, the valley forgiving, and the bow sits comfortably at full draw without wanting to surge forward.

On release, you can feel a subtle post-shot vibration—a quick, crisp “twang” that’s easily tamed with a stabilizer or accessory setup. For an aluminum bow at this price, that’s perfectly normal.

Speed Test Results

With a 70-pound draw weight, 29-inch draw length, and a 412-grain arrow, the Hoyt Enduro averaged 287.2 FPS over three shots. That’s an impressive result for a bow that maintains a forgiving 7-inch brace height.

This balance of speed, comfort, and accuracy makes the Enduro an excellent option for both beginners and experienced hunters who don’t want to spend $1,500–$2,000 on a flagship model.

Hoyt Enduro Price & Package Options

The Hoyt Enduro comes in two configurations:

Bare Bow: $749
Ready-to-Hunt Package: $899

The package includes a QAD Hunter Drop-Away Rest, Maxxis 4-Arrow Quiver, 5-pin picatinny mounted sight, and a Short Stop stabilizer—everything you need to hit the range or the woods right away.

This makes it both a high-performing and visually customizable option for hunters who care about aesthetics as much as performance.

Final Thoughts: Is the Hoyt Enduro Worth It?

After testing the Hoyt Enduro, it’s clear that Hoyt nailed the balance between performance, value, and innovation. For under $1,000, you’re getting a bow that feels refined, shoots fast, and includes many of Hoyt’s flagship technologies.

The Hoyt Enduro is one of the best mid-price bows of 2026—ideal for bowhunters who want forgiving geometry, smooth draw, customizable tuning, and rock-solid construction without the premium price tag.

Whether you’re stepping up from an entry-level setup or looking for a reliable hunting rig that won’t break the bank, the Hoyt Enduro deserves a spot on your shortlist.
