Genuine Ravin R192 String and Cable Set for R500 and R470 High-Velocity Series

Genuine Ravin R192 String and Cable Set for R500 and R470 High-Velocity Series

The R500 series represents the pinnacle of crossbow engineering. To achieve 500 FPS, the archery string and cables must endure massive friction and tension. The R192 set is specially calibrated to handle the aggressive 360-degree cam rotation of the R500 series. Replacing your set ensures that your timing remains synchronised, preventing cam lean and maintaining the ultra-narrow profile Ravin is famous for. Don't let a worn-out string compromise your shot of a lifetime; restore your crossbow to factory-fresh performance with this essential service kit.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

Usage and Professional Installation

The primary purpose of the R192 set is to maintain the safety and velocity of your high-speed crossbow. Due to the extreme stress on the fibres, Ravin recommends a replacement interval of 200 shots for the R500 series. You must use the Ravin Press specifically designed for these models to install this set. Standard bow presses cannot accommodate the limb geometry and may cause catastrophic failure. Before fitting, ensure the cams are free of any burrs or debris that could damage the new servings.

Technical Fun Fact

The R500 series features cams that rotate a full 360 degrees during the draw cycle. This necessitates cables with exceptional thermal stability. The R192 set uses a proprietary blend of fibres that minimises "creep" even in high-temperature environments, ensuring your zero remains true during long days in the field.

Care, Maintenance and Warnings

• Consistent Waxing: Apply premium string wax to all non-served areas to prevent drying and moisture absorption.
• Avoid Dry Firing: Never fire your crossbow without a bolt. On an R500, a dry fire will instantly shred the string and cables and likely destroy the limbs.
• Serving Inspection: Check the centre serving and cam loops for wear before every session. High-speed friction can cause rapid wear if not monitored.
• Proper Storage: Keep your crossbow in a climate-controlled environment to prevent the synthetic fibres from losing their tension over time.

Recommended Accessories

For a successful string change, the Ravin Multi-Press with R500 adapters is mandatory. We also highly recommend using Ravin String Fluid to lubricate the servings and Genuine Ravin R500 Bolts. The R500-specific nocks are engineered to fit this string perfectly, preventing premature wear on the centre serving and ensuring consistent accuracy.
