You said you choose comfort over speed. Ive shot this and I agree the hump at the end is not tasteful. But this puts out some speed. I put your numbers in a calculator and if you backed the poundage out to 63 you’d lose 10fps to be at 282-285ish. What would you think of the draw cycle at that weight? A lot more enjoyable to pull?
Love the honest opinion about it being louder and nasty dump at rear. I do wonder if the newer cam option get rid of the nasty dump. It is a speed bow so that is why dump is there. I'm going to have to try one with the new cam and see if the draw cycle has been improved. The light weight is attraactive. My problem is I shoot Mathews V3X so I know it will be lounder.
Good review. Kinda weird to list all the changes they made and also say it’s the same as the Mach one except the cams. Lots of small changes were made. Thanks for the review
Bro... you shot the highest fps you have with a 500 grain arrow... it isn't a suprise that the cams are not linear when drawing especially at a32v axle to axle. To get high fps you either shot an aggressive cam at 70lbs or you shoot an easy to pull linear cam at 80 lbs. There really isn't a way around it to get higher fps. By the way the rx7 is slower that's why it pulls easy. Good review though. I enjoy your content.
A little late - I have a newer version E2 cam too with the snap-on shims. It is superb for spot and stalk, light and fast. With my 31” draw @70lbs it’s punching out my 465gr arrows at 304 fps and my 3 arrows at 315fps! Yet the hold and accuracy is the best I have had yet. So the draw cycle gives you speed and energy but doesn’t affect my accuracy.
@@BackyardBows I have heard of both of those but have not been to them. I was at Heartland Bow Shop. Idk if that rings a bell, but I thought you looked familiar and noticed you said you were from MO.
I bet if you'd had that RX4 Turbo on the #2 cam it would have been right in the same fps ballpark but that is what it is.. if you're over a 28'' draw you need the #3 cam. I'm about a 28.25'' draw so the #2 cam and a little longer d loop got the cams maxxed out. From the reviews I've seen, there's about a 5-6fps difference between the #2 maxxed out and the #3 on a lower DL setting so that would have put in right there with the levitate's speed. Those cams look exactly the same profile as the ones on my PSE full throttle but have better valley so it has to be more comfortable but still... super aggressive cams.
Nice review. I shot the bow. It does stack up on you. I call it a double stack.you pull it back.and it stacks up on you twice. It does have a strong back wall
I would agree with you, have to sacrifice when u get those speeds, and it’s usually in the draw, I wouldn’t say praise but I did honor the grading system we laid out in the beginning
The v3x draw is considerably more stiff than the levitate. Coming off the v3x the levitate is a dream compared to it. Had a rx7 too, it was nice but as far as carbons go, the levitate is a touch above the Hoyt.
People, never ever buy a bow you didn't shoot. Ever. I did it once and was very lucky. Never again. And have it set up to your draw. Don't be dumb and test a bow that's not set up properly and for you. It makes a lot of difference in the draw, the feel, speed, etc etc
Smart words if your spending 1300 hundred on a flagship bow make sure it is the bow for you. I like pse and bowtech. I shot both for a good bit of time at my 29 inch draw. And I bought the bowtech revolt.two bows in one wt the flip disc tech. Deadlock cams. Take care
can't believe you don't have more subs dude!! your reviews are top notch and the quality is great! keep it up bro!!
Appreciate it sir
When I want to see what a bow is about this is my absolute favorite channel. Your so correct he deserves a lot more subscribers.
Man I love the information. You put it out info without trying to be a salesman. Definitely got a new subscriber.
Thanks for watching a lot more to come

That’s exactly what I would do if I was to put in the field. Great comment
I just bought this bow and you’re exactly right. My draw is 29.5 and at 62lbs and it’s zipping at 285fps
Great review ! Like your regular guy presentation m presented with experience & diligence😀

Try the new ec2 cam I believ it’s called I bet it a completely diff deal

Hahaha! All people say: this bow with E2 cam have a bad cicle, and shot a lot off “x” in 5 min than say, man this bow is super accurate!
Hey great review!! Where at in Missouri are you located?? I may have seen you in a local shop in O’Fallon MO!?
Summit archery? Or Denny Denis ?

The levitate is shorter which some prefer , a lot of guys think 34” ata is a target bow , I know that’s silly but that’s what they think
Really depends on your draw length and frame
Nice review. I shot the bow. It does stack up on you. I call it a double stack.you pull it back.and it stacks up on you twice. It does have a strong back wall
Man but does it sling an arrow
@@BackyardBows it does shoots bullets. That is a fact.
Great video!
Still the only carbon bow made in America
Great reviews love the content my shop has them for $1650
That’s a deal and I think a more fair/realistic price
What is your ebay store?
It’s hard to praise it for the speed then complain about how it gets there.
I would agree with you, have to sacrifice when u get those speeds, and it’s usually in the draw, I wouldn’t say praise but I did honor the grading system we laid out in the beginning
@@BackyardBows When you state it’s the first bow to pass 290 then rate is 12/10 in speed that’s praising in my opinion.
@@HUKIT. thanks for watching the entire video, always wonder how many people get to the grading
The v3x draw is considerably more stiff than the levitate. Coming off the v3x the levitate is a dream compared to it. Had a rx7 too, it was nice but as far as carbons go, the levitate is a touch above the Hoyt.
What’s your draw length, and thanks for the feedback I love hearing how people feel bows differently
@@BackyardBows I’m a 29” draw.

I love my hoyt carbon I didn't like the pse draw cycle at all.
I subbed!!!!
Let’s go
Yeah you didn't say that the RX7 had vibration
I would say they were similar, u could feel it but very lightly
