Should be out soon. I was about to leave Mathews for Hoyt for 3D, but this bow might keep me around. We'll see soon I suppose.

Well at least Bowtech got past the exploding point , maybe next they will hit the speeds they are named after. That makes as much sense as the above.
The reality is there isn't a ton of "technology" upgrades to modern compound bows. Hoyts basic design hasn't changed in a decade. Split limbs, cutaway risers, cam and a half system. Fact is most bow manufacturers have 2 or 3 cams, couple different limbs and couple different risers. They mix and match those components and give them different names.
IMHO the real advancements are in individual component improvements. More efficient cams, more advanced limbs, lighter and stronger risers. Great product development companies are usually great at iterative improvements. Radical changes and constant "all new" is usually indicative of more problems than improvements.

What I've heard is 35" ATA, 7" BH, the Chill cam system with new draw mods named Rock mods that have a more solid back walls and come in a 75% let off. Don't know if it's same limbs on a longer riser or whole new configuration. IBO speeds are supposed to be wicked.
