I've got a 27 inch ILF riser with 44mm of deflex measured from grip throat to limb pivot. I'm not sure how this compares to the CH or where it falls in the range of ILF risers. Will the Hex 7 provide a large benefit over the Hex 6 BB2 on this riser, or would you recommend a riser with more deflex?changing the limb angle is 50% of the puzzle. getting the brace height right on a riser that has small amounts of deflex is the other half.
but yes. an ilf version will be available soon enough. its just a case of working out any minor tweeks that need doing.
I thought that deflex was measured from the grip pivot? Alas have I been astray again?:Don't forget most modern risers have two button holes. Using mine gives me 18mm more deflex. I don't have any added problems with torque either.
I am concerned that insufficient deflex (measured from grip throat) will result in the string striking my forearm more often with low brace height limbs like the Hex series. Button position does not affect this. My understanding is the CH riser is built with extra deflex (measured from grip) to mitigate this contact. So I'd like to know how my riser compares to the CH in this regard.Don't forget most modern risers have two button holes. Using mine gives me 18mm more deflex.

Border's Hex6 have a list of approved risers - for straightness and how the limb sits safely in the pocket, so I see no reason why they wouldn't give a list for the Hex7, with factors such as deflex. I wouldn't expect that to happen until they are out of prototype phase - they've got a lot of testing to do first.
Neato, good to know as I've been looking at changing my riser over, from a CXT to something that let's the limbs pivot where they're meant to and not on glued in aluminium plates! ... Top of my list are the Inno max, AXT, and the GPX... Ill have to hold off on more limbs for the moment, 2 sets of hex 6's are keeping me occupied for the moment ;-) steadily converting the locals to Border!Tom. Yes we do have risers that have proven not up to the task of keeping hex limbs in alignment.
Some are the cheaper end. And have rotational issues. And one expensive end of the market that we have not seen two alike. Utterly sub standard. In our opinion. If you have some hex limbs and are looking at a new riser. Just get intouch. Or if you have a riser and are looking to get some limbs again just ask and we can advise. We dont want to name and shame publically as the risers work with conventional limbs. Its our limbs ask more of the alignment.
