Elite Archery, a leader in performance-driven bow design, proudly announces the launch of the all-new Cypher, available November 2. Combining proven Elite performance with premium features in a highly adjustable platform, the Cypher pairs Elite's SP2 Cam System and VX Performance Mods with an all-new caged aluminum riser to deliver IBO speeds up to 335 FPS, let-off easily adjustable up to 90%, and a 25"–30.5" draw length range built to fit a wide range of archers.

"The Cypher is built for archers who want premium Elite performance at an accessible price," said Josh Sidebottom, COO of The Outdoor Group. "It shares the same SP2 Cam System and geometry as our 2026 Bow of the Year, so archers get that award-winning shot cycle in a highly adjustable package. Add an all-new caged aluminum riser, all-aluminum cams, mods, and limb pockets, and Winner's Choice strings right out of the box, and the Cypher delivers the durability, consistency, and shootability archers expect from an Elite, with the adjustability to grow with them season after season."
At the core of the Cypher is an all-new caged aluminum riser that strategically removes weight without sacrificing strength, creating a frame that stays rigid and true throughout the shot cycle. Paired with a compact 32" axle-to-axle length and a 6 1/2" brace height, it delivers a maneuverable, well-balanced platform that carries easily in the field. The riser's integrated Picatinny sight rail and Integrate Mounting System® allow archers to mount their sight and rest securely and tight to the riser for a cleaner, better-balanced setup with fewer snag points. Available in 35–50, 45–60, and 55–70 lb. draw weight ranges, the Cypher fits everyone from archers still building strength to seasoned hunters who want maximum energy downrange.
