Watched a review on it. Can’t figure out why as consumers, we’d Taylor bow companies to make carbon bows that are heavier then aluminum bows. And, still buy them.
To each their own I reckon.

Many bicycles were carbon/aluminum for years. They worked well. Tended to be a little soft/dead to ride with quite a bit of flex relative to the oversized aluminum bikes which were popular at the same time... And they did not survive once carbon monocoque frames came to the fore.
This thing uses shorter carbon segments and likely heavier carbon given the application. Probably eats vibration well and seems like a solid option.
I dont love the look, so it's not for me. But I bet it could workout really well and likely will feel really nice to shoot.

I have a carbon/aluminum road bike, it's pretty sweet riding and very nice to look at. This bow however, no thanks. Too expensive, too ugly.

I don’t find the bow ugly at all. It shoots outstanding. It’s extremely quiet. Very dead in the hand. And it’s the perfect balance of weight. Too lite of a bow, and your accuracy diminishes.

Its is fugly, I wonder if the cables touch your wrist as soon as you put a sweater on like primes in the past? The cable guard is way to short

Put the Mathews name on it and you all would think it looks gorgeous!

It’s neither ugly or beautiful to me. Bows are a tool to me, function vs aesthetics matter. But the 6.25” brace height is a non starter.

Interesting concept, at least they are trying I suppose. Its fugly as all get out to me but to each their own

There’s no need for a hybrid, either getting aluminum for less or a full carbon properly designed for more, but trying to hit the middle of the road with that thing doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense they’re trying to play off the carbon feature and justify cost that probably has no functional benefit

I wonder if it comes in different spines? ;-)
Looks aside, I don't think I want a bow riser that is multiple components of different materials glued together.

I've shot it and it is nice. It does take some getting used to it looks.

Maybe we could match it up with elites new quiver…. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

It looks like an answer in search of a question.
