Anyone see these yet in person. Can't wait to find out how much they will cost?
They look nice and they claim they are super lightweight?

I kinda been holding out on buying a new set of sticks cause I wanted to get a good look at Cruzrs new sticks. Now I'm not too sure. Those Hyperlite sticks sure do look sweet.I saw that YT video last night and came on here this morning to see what buzz what created. I literally just bought new TL double minis this year. The normal cheap side of me says they're light enough and pack well, keep what ya got. The other side is saying those sticks are cool. I'm happy with my TL EDP platform and it's only like 3.8# so I would not likely bust out $300 for the platform, but I could see myself selling my double minis and getting those hyperlight sticks.
Plus I like the fact the original TL platforms have the "batwing" and bite SO well. Everyone that comes out with a newer platform and can't use the batwing is like when I had the Cruzr Seeker - great platform but I could never get that style bracket to bite in my local trees.
Is this a cut and paste from early 2023 about the latitude "carbon sticks"? Hahahaha.I kinda been holding out on buying a new set of sticks cause I wanted to get a good look at Cruzrs new sticks. Now I'm not too sure. Those Hyperlite sticks sure do look sweet.
I've been using Tethrd platform and pack since I started, I'll be watching to see how fellows are packing and carrying this, if I can build a system that works better than my current and loses some ounces I may make the switch. I'm also uncertain of the attachment method, seems your locked into using a specific strap/rope. However it plays out for me its good seeing TL pushing the envelope.
I’m not a stick guy but that platform looks awesome for size to weight ratio!!!
I feel that Arsenal is taking notes real time and adjusting their 2.0 design already.It is really impressive.
Should blow the Predator and similar out of the water.
But it may be just a bit small for me. Idk. Really wish they pushed it to 13” deep.
At 2.5lbs, the X-Wing offers more width and depth (in it’s own way)
At about 3lbs the Hunt Arsenal RZR Magnum is much wider and packs flat (which turns out to be really awesome).
For 3.5lbs the LWCG Fix is way behind on weight, but that extra 1/2” of length of the Fix could be the difference between being able to turn on the platform or not.
Idk, they made it harder on me than they needed to, lol. It’d be a no brainer if there was just a bit more dimension to it.
The Hyperlite might still be best for my still hunt/scout and hunt setup. It sure looks stout. Just my boots are 14s. I’m sure they’ll launch some bigger variations in time, and may wait that out. Even if it’s a super exciting launch to me.
I did not see the flexing, going to check it out.I was pretty excited about the sticks at first but the more thought I give it the less excited I get.
Not a fan of that attachment method. First thing I would do is can that USA they are using and use a daisy chain in a truckers hitch crossing over the front of the stick.
The attachment is really high. Worried about the bottom step stability.
Looks really noisy to stack.
New material… I want to see how it holds up before dumping $450 into them. I know Xpedition had major difficulty getting that material. A hard enough time they cancel an entire years line of bows they had on order.
Only 16” step to step and they were flexing pretty good.
Biggest reason I might be scratching them off the list 3.4” standoff to step. That’s about 1/4” less than my beasts.

Just watch the video above…lol
Guy I know there said he could flex them twisting them back and forth in his hands.
It didn’t look any different than the LWCG doubles, imo. Similar to Shikars. It’s the flat dimension of the stock metal being loaded. Other sticks that seem more rigid through the post flex bad at the neck to step.
Idk, didn’t freak me out.
If my LW or Novix sticks flex I don't feel it. Same goes for my LWCG single 17" sticks. My LWCG single 28" sticks flex and I don't like it.It didn’t look any different than the LWCG doubles, imo. Similar to Shikars. It’s the flat dimension of the stock metal being loaded. Other sticks that seem more rigid through the post flex bad at the neck-to-step transition. That kind of gives me the quesies.
Idk, the flex of these sticks didn’t freak me out.
Reason why the attachment is so high. If it was lower they would flex to much.
