Hoyt Carbon RX-10 70lb — The Carbon REDWRX Flagship, Now with XTS Tuning
The Hoyt Carbon RX-10 is Hoyt's 2026 flagship carbon hunting bow — and the most significant upgrade to the Carbon REDWRX lineup in years. The RX-10 brings the patent-pending XTS Tuning System to carbon for the first time, making the easiest-to-tune carbon bow Hoyt has ever produced even more accessible. Built around a 30.5-inch axle-to-axle carbon riser platform, the HBX Gen 4 cam, and Hoyt's proven In-Line accessory system, the RX-10 delivers up to 342 fps in a 4.1-lb package that carries lighter, holds steadier, and shoots quieter than comparable aluminum bows. Available at 70 lbs in solid and camo finishes. Nothing shoots like a Hoyt carbon.
Key Features of the Hoyt Carbon RX-10
Carbon REDWRX Riser — Strength Without Weight
Hoyt's carbon riser construction delivers the strongest strength-to-weight ratio on the market. Carbon resists cold-bite on your grip in frigid conditions, absorbs impact from baggage handlers, backcountry abuse, and hard falls better than aluminum, and provides a dead-in-the-hand feel that aluminum simply can't match. At 4.1 lbs, the RX-10 is significantly lighter than comparable aluminum riser bows.
Patent-Pending XTS Tuning System
New for 2026 on the carbon lineup. XTS corrects both lateral and vertical paper tears using Allen key adjustments — no bow press, no pulling axles, no cam shims. Most tuning systems only address lateral tears; XTS handles both and doesn't shift your point of impact after adjustments are made. If you can turn a wrench, you can tune this bow.
HBX Gen 4 Cam
The smoothest HBX cam Hoyt has ever produced. Five module positions cover draw lengths from 25" to 30" in 1/4-inch increments without sacrificing performance. 70 lbs draws noticeably lighter than it's rated — independent testers consistently report it feeling like 60–62 lbs on most hands. Three let-off options (75%, 80%, 85%) and adjustable back wall feel round out the customization.
30.5" ATA — Versatile and Maneuverable
The RX-10's 30.5-inch ATA hits the right balance for most hunting scenarios. It's compact enough for treestand use, stable enough for open-country shots, and light enough to carry all day in the backcountry without fatigue.
In-Line Accessory System
Picatinny sight rail, Integrate rest mount, SuperLite quiver system, and Go-Stix — all integrated directly into the riser for a balanced, lightweight, cohesive hunting setup.
WireWRX Strings
Engineered specifically for the RX-10 platform. Better performance and longer service life than aftermarket alternatives on this bow because they were designed as part of the system.
Who the RX-10 Is Built For
- Bowhunters who want the lightest, strongest, most durable hunting platform available
- Backcountry and western hunters who carry their bow all day and need to minimize pack weight
- Hunters who want a carbon bow they can tune themselves without shop visits
- Anyone who has shot a previous REDWRX carbon bow and wants to experience the XTS upgrade

Why Extreme Outfitters Recommends the Hoyt Carbon RX-10
The Carbon REDWRX lineup has always been the choice for hunters who want the ultimate bow — lighter, stiffer, more durable, and deader in the hand than aluminum. The addition of XTS tuning for 2026 removes the last remaining argument against carbon: that it's harder to tune. It isn't anymore. The RX-10 gives you the performance of Hoyt's best carbon platform with the tuning accessibility of their best aluminum bow. If you're serious about what you put in the field, this is the one.
Frequently Asked Questions — Hoyt Carbon RX-10
What makes carbon better than aluminum for a hunting bow?
Carbon provides a superior strength-to-weight ratio, better vibration absorption, resistance to cold-bite on your grip, and superior impact resistance for backcountry use. The RX-10 at 4.1 lbs is meaningfully lighter than comparable aluminum hunting bows while being stronger and stiffer.
How does XTS work on the RX-10?
XTS uses internal shuttle blocks and rotating screws in the limb pockets to correct both lateral and vertical paper tears — no bow press required. Adjustments are made with an Allen key and don't shift your point of impact.
Is this the same platform as the RX-10 Ultra?
No. The RX-10 is the standard 30.5" ATA model. The RX-10 Ultra is the longer 33.5" ATA version with a 6.375" brace height, designed for hunters who prefer more stability and a more comfortable string angle. Both share the same XTS tuning system and HBX Gen 4 cam family.
What finishes are available on the RX-10 70lb solid model?
Solid finish options include Sandstorm, Tombstone, Wilderness, and Black. Camo options (Realtree APX, MO Bottomland, KUIU Verde, Optifade Subalpine) are available at additional cost. Contact Extreme Outfitters for current color availability.
