Utilizing a combination of advanced materials and a new compact design, the Revo® STX weight has been reduced over 2.5 ounces. That’s a 29% weight reduction over the previous model! The reduction in weight, combined with the new EVA knobs allows you to fish all day with less fatigue. An upgraded X2- Cräftic™ alloy frame provides more advanced corrosion protection and the sideplates are constructed from weight reducing C6 Carbon. The more powerful D2 Gear System in the Revo STX features the widest range of ratios in the Revo family with 6.4:1, 7.1:1 and a new super high speed 8.0:1 ratio model that pulls in a blistering 33 inches per turn of the handle. The combination of a Magnetic Brake and sealed Centrifugal Brake allow almost limitless adjustment with the Infini Brake System. The centrifugal brake controls the first half of the cast when the spool is rotation at its maximum speed. Once the spool slows, the magnetic brake then acts on the spool to keep it under control during the last half of the cast. 10 stainless steel ball bearings + 1 roller bearing provides smooth operation X2-Cräftic™ alloy frame for increased corrosion resistance C6 carbon sideplates provide significant weight reduction without sacrificing strength and durability Carbon Matrix™ drag system provides smooth, consistent drag pressure across the entire drag range D2 Gear Design™ provides a more efficient gear system while improving gear durability Infini™ brake system allows almost limitless adjustability to handle any fishing situation Infini II™ spool design for extended castability and extreme loads Compact bent handle and star provide a more ergonomic design Ti coated line guide reduces friction and improves durability
