We set out to change a few things.
We Advanced Everything.
Bear engineers are often asked,
"What's the one new characteristic of the Bear line in 2008?"
Their answer:
"No single characteristic defines this year's increased performance.
It's a total system advancement...beginning with The TRUTH 2."
The Objective:
An even smoother, quieter bow — beginning with draw cycle and through release — yet without a compromise in speed.
The Result:
A bow design so inherently smooth and quiet that few, if any, additional vibration dampeners will be desired. A bow so energy-packed that it reaches speeds of 318 fps (IBO). And, along the way, a sturdy and more efficient bow system was developed, transmitting more energy to the arrow and delivering more consistent accuracy — shot after shot.
The details of how:
MINIMIZED RISER REFLEX
The less the riser reflex, the more forgiving and accurate the shot. Plus, the smaller overall profile improves maneuverability in the field or treestand.
FLARE QUAD LIMBS
Ultra-short, flared limbs flex well beyond parallel. Bear perfected the limb design through FEA (finite element analysis) to evenly distribute stress during draw and release. Even stress distribution in a short, lighter limb creates these advantages.
- "SMOOTH" is the natural result of lighter limbs accelerating and decelerating during release.
- Beyond parallel limb position creates a short, vertical travel where opposing limb movements cancel each other, rather than a forward thrust of conventional limbs.
- Even stress distribution allows for a more efficient transfer of energy to the arrow; maximizing the reduction of vibration or noise.
STRING SUPPRESSION
String suppressor performance was optimized using high-speed photography to greatly counter string vibration.
FORGIVING BRACE HEIGHT
Brace heights ranging from 7" to 8.75" are forgiving yet benefit from maximum stored energy to the limbs during draw.
SYNTHETIC GRIP
Synthetic grips reduce vibration and provides the warmest feel in cold weather.
PERIMETER-WEIGHTED MODULAR SINGLE CAM
The TRUTH 2 shares its cam system with the DONE DEAL, and provides the development basis for the cam system used on the GAME OVER and LIGHTS OUT.
COMPRESSION-MOLDED LIMBS
And, of course, the entire Bear line continues to include a Bear essential: Patented, Compression-Molded Limbs. This process of shaping limbs with continuous, long fibers delivers the most energy-packed and durable limbs in the industry.
