LEDE Hybrid X

Excalibur Crossbow has introduced the Hybrid X, merging Excalibur's recurve durability with an all-new InnerDrive compound cam system. Designed for the die-hard hunters who demand performance, the Hybrid X delivers with speeds up to 435 fps and an ultra-narrow, maneuverable profile, measuring just a 5.3 inches axle to axle. This compound crossbow is the first in the industry to allow hunters to change strings and cables, or adjust cam timing in the field, without a press. Simply put, the Hybrid X is far beyond just another crossbow with cams,

At the heart of the Hybrid X is the InnerDrive Cam System. This fully shielded inboard cam system is built into a caged riser, ensuring durability, while Excalibur’s reverse recurve limb design keeps the crossbow sleek, narrow, and maneuverable. InnerDrive’s unique design reduces downward string pressure during cycles, extending string life and minimizing failure risk—all while delivering accuracy and power.

Features

  • ChargerX Integrated Crank
  • Streamlined Stock—optimized for balance, comfort, and all-day carry, weighing 8.3 pounds bare and 10.3 pounds fully accessorized.
  • Ceasefire Anti-Dry Fire System
  • Premium Trigger

“At Excalibur, we don’t compromise. We build the world’s toughest, most reliable crossbows—and the Hybrid X is proof of that commitment,” said Todd Snader, brand manager at Excalibur Crossbow. “This is how we do compound crossbows—with brute reliability, bulletproof strength, and unshakable confidence in the field.”

The Hybrid X will be available through authorized Excalibur dealers, as well as direct from Excalibur Crossbow. For more information, visit excaliburcrossbow.comMSRP: $2199.99
