The Lift X. Website says easier tuning without a press, tougher limbs and a new grip. I haven’t shot anything new in a while. But may start looking for a LH Lift from last year. Been waiting for some to hit the used market. -
If anyone wants a brand new RH lift 29 I may let mine go. I want that lift RS!Comment

That new tuning system looks like an awesome addition.Comment

I shot them all today. Shoot exactly like the Lifts. The new grip options are nice and the tuning feature is really simple and will be great for bh tuning. The string angle on the RS is pretty extreme.Comment

I’m super happy with my Lift.
I’m sure glad to see Mathews finally came out with a good tuning feature without needing a press. The new Limb Shift Technology is a great addition.

I was hoping to have mine before launch, but it didn’t ship until today. Hopefully I’ll have it in hand before we head to Blanco before Thanksgiving.
i did get a peak at a couple of models today at Brush to Bay. Not much difference in appearance from the original Lift. But, the two biggest “issues” that I mentioned in my Lift videos from last year were the inability to tune without a press (I had to have different shops change the top hats multiple times) and that I would be changing the grip (I went with a Total Peep Tech Grip over the Ultraview Bee Real.) Aside from (hopefully) resolving limb issues that some bows experienced (I didn’t, personally, have any issues), the new “Limb Shift” tuning system and the Bond” grip options appear to be the most significant, and welcome, changes to the Lift X 29.5 and 33. Of course, they also introduced new models to the lineup for short (RS) and long (XD) draw lengths.

Thanks! I missed that one. Holding out for a 33” though.Originally posted by Gumbo Man View PostComment

Just don't see how they can keep increasing the speed and not make the bow with a harder roll over or jumpy. ( of course, I ain't no engineer)
I shot the Lift and its a good bow but I can definitely feel the difference in it and my VXR. I'll give a few fps for something smoother.Comment

I need a reason to upgrade from my TriaxComment

You Texas people need to step it up with the linkage.
Linkage: Hunting Line – Mathews Archery (mathewsinc.com)
How do retail prices align with the MSRP? Do they sell for MSRP or are their usually discounts? $1,469 for the Lift X 33 is steep, for something with a shelf life. I am a cheap *******, though. I ain't got that Moser money.
I haven't bought a new bow in a bout 15 years. I'm always amazed that they cost more than an A-Bolt (X-Bolt or whatever they are now) rifle.Comment

We haven't seen a Lift come in with limb problems. We've only had one and it was a cam failure. I like the lift a lot and changing tophats isn't a big deal if you have a press. But the Limb shift tech will help a lot with cam tuning. I'm eager to play with one. I want to try the new handles, assuming they aren't $250. Those handles are supposed to fit back models including the Phase IV, I think.
If you want a smoother drawing bow, you may look at the Elite Eon Carbon. I think it has a smoother draw at about the same weight. I think the Lift is quieter.
I wonder if they will extend the limb shift technology to the Title?Comment

The only issue I have with my Lift 29.5 is how difficult it is to tune. I don't have a press of my own so I can't change the top hats myself. I like the new limb shift technology. I did change out my grip to a Bee Real and I like that quite a bit. I did have a limb problem, my fault, but I am glad to see that they've beefed up their limbs.
I can say that if the new ones are as good as the Lifts they oughta sell quite well. I am going to stick with my Lift for now. I like it a whole lot.Comment
