The crossbow industry continues to boom in 2025 with a wide range of new options to meet most any demand by crossbow hunters.
Here’s a look at the best new crossbows for 2025.
TenPoint TRX 26 and TX 28
TenPoint Crossbows has introduced two new crossbows packed full of cutting-edge technology at a price point that is more in line with most top-end compounds. The TX 28 and TRX 26 are compact bows featuring TenPoint’s Twin-Riser Technology (TRT), ZERO-Trac Barrel, and custom TriggerTech Trigger.
The TRX 26 is a reverse-draw crossbow that is only 26.5″ wide and can shoot arrows at speeds up to 460 fps.
Featuring a standard draw and slightly longer platform, the TX 28 can reach speeds of up to 410 fps and retails for just over $2,000.
The TX 28 weighs only 7.2 lbs and includes the AcuSlide Maxx system for easy cocking and de-cocking. It’s everything you need in a crossbow and nothing that you don’t.
Coming in at just over $2,000, the TX 28 is priced to compete with any flagship compound bow which, after outfitting with a top-of-the-line rest, sight, and stabilizer setup, can quickly run North of $2,500.
Price – TRX 26 – $3049 / TX 28 – $2049
Wicked Ridge Invader M1 De-Cock
Wicked Ridge’s all-time best selling crossbow now comes in a de-cock design for a more hunter-friendly experience. The popular Invader M1 from Wicked Ridge now comes in a de-cock design, answering the demand for a high performance crossbow option packed with great features and a price tag that won’t break the bank. With speeds of 390 feet-per-second and weighing in at just 5.8lbs, the American-Built Invader M1 De-Cock fits the bill on affordability and the de-cocking design is super handy at the end of the hunt.
Say goodbye to having to carry a target or shooting a discharge arrow into the dirt after the hunt. You simply push the de-cock button and safely de-cock the crossbow with the built-in ACUdraw De-Cock or manually de-cock the crossbow with the ACUdraw 50 SLED De-Cock. It’s a really slick, simple and safe way to return your crossbow to the de-cocked position.
Price – $699
Ravin LR
The LR also features Ravin’s silent cocking and de-cocking system to ensures smooth and stealthy reloads when you need it most. The LR comes with a 1-8×24 adjustable-turret scope, scope level, three-arrow quiver, draw handle, and three .001 premium arrows so you’re ready to step out on the range right out of the box.
Excalibur Mag Max
The all-new Mag Max from Excalibur is a beefed up overhaul of the brand’s super popular Mag 340 introduced in 2020. The new crossbow introduces enhancements designed to improve durability, safety, and reliability while delivering an increase in speed.
The Mag Max delivers speeds of up to 350 fps, a 10 fps increase over the Mag 340. The Micro HO limbs are constructed with 100% continuous fiber to ensure unmatched durability and efficiency for more consistent performance. The crossbow also includes Excalibur’s Ceasefire ADF system, which guarantees the crossbow will not fire unless an arrow is loaded, safety is off, and the trigger is pulled. Best yet, it’s priced more affordably than most other crossbows on the market these days.

Killer Instinct Logix 435
The new LogiX 435 from Killer Instinct is a light and compact crossbow option that’s made the chore of de-cocking the crossbow after the hunt as safe and simple as ever. It all starts with the Let-Down triggerbox that allows the shooter to easily de-cock the crossbow without shooting. Cocking the crossbow at the beginning of your hunt is easy as well with the easy-to-draw synchronized X-Cam system. The LogiX 435 measures 10.75” un-cocked and 6.75” cocked, and produces speeds up to 435fps.
The crossbow features a stock with the new x-trac adjustable buttstock that delivers smooth and quiet operation for the perfect feel and fit at your shoulder, and a really sharp looking design from front to back thanks to its Tact-Finish camo finish. The bow comes with 3 20-inch 390 grain bolts, 4×32 Lumix scope, sled rope cocker, 5-arrow quiver and rail lube – all at a price that’ll be hard to beat.
