RAVIN R191 String and Cable Set for R26 Crossbow – Fits R26, R26X, R5X | Pro Installation

Overview

The Ravin R191 String and Cable Set is designed to refresh the string and cable system on the Ravin R26 family, including R26, R26X, and R5X models. This complete replacement kit arrives with the main string and all cables, clearly marked with orange reference accents to guide alignment during service. In real-world use, you may notice a more predictable draw feel and timing as you cycle the limbs, especially after periods of storage or frequent use. While not a universal crossbow part, the kit is engineered to align with the geometry of the specified models, offering a practical upgrade path without altering other components. The result is a refreshed setup that supports consistent play patterns and a smooth, controlled release.

What’s Included

• Main string and all cables with orange accent markings for full restoration
• Documentation and fitment notes tailored for the Ravin R26 family

Compatibility and Use

FITS R26, R26X, AND R5X MODELS - Specifically designed for these RAVIN crossbow models, will not fit other crossbows. Use this set only with Ravin Bow Press systems as directed by official instructions. This pairing helps ensure proper alignment and reduces the potential for mis-tensioning during service.

Replacement Schedule and Longevity

Replacement is recommended every 2 years or after approximately 400 launches to help maintain peak crossbow performance. Regular maintenance like this can contribute to consistent draw weights, reliable timing, and predictable string geometry over time. Think of this as a proactive step to preserve the feel you expect when you pull off a shot during a hunt or target session.

Installation and Safety

• REQUIRES RAVIN BOW PRESS ONLY - Must use official RAVIN Bow Press for safe installation, not compatible with other presses
• PRO SHOP INSTALLATION RECOMMENDED - Complex replacement is best handled by the RAVIN Service Department or a local pro shop

Note the emphasis on safety and accuracy. Before starting, read all press instructions and warnings. If you are unsure about alignment or cable tension, professional service can help ensure the setup preserves crossbow integrity while delivering a reliable re-assembly that matches the model’s design intent.
