Key Features
The R26X carries forward the R26's bullpup body style and adds HeliCoil technology plus a silent crank, and it's sold in XK7 Camo. The "X" suffix in Ravin's naming marks a more compact or updated variant of the base model, consistent with how the R26X builds on the R26. HeliCoil is associated by name with compact, bullpup-style crossbows in this part of the lineup.
Bolts, Strings & Accessories That Fit
The R26X shares its protective soft case sizing with the R26 (and the wider R29/R470/R500 case family), but bolts and nocks still need to match this specific model - don't assume every accessory in that case family fits every bow in it interchangeably. Browse the Ravin accessories hub for compatible bolts, nocks, and cranks.
