Uukha Ex-1 Evo2 Curve Limbs Review | Amazing Value & Shockingly FAST!

I got my hands on a set of Uukha Ex-1 Evo2 Curve Limbs and I was shocked by the results! I put these $370 limbs against $750+ limbs and the results were shocking!
If you don't want to see my tuning of the W&W NS limbs and results from the speed tests skip from ~6:40 to ~ 11:20

As a french archer, I enjoy Uukha A LOT since 2012. I am so happy you review them ! If you are impressed by those EX1, give a try to XX (super sweet) or VX1000 or even VX+ if you can, super super fast, but physically demanding. They will probably blow your mind.

[@x3roxide]

I have the Uukha Irbis which is essentially the vx1000 but designed for shorter risers (19"). They are slightly cheaper coming only in 5# increments instead of 2#. the x-curve profile is amazing for speed and I love the unique feel for the draw. the last inch adds very little weight which makes it feel a bit like a let-off.

[@mrnice752]

@@x3roxide If you think Uukha limbs are impressive, you should try the real thing.. You will realise Uukha are about 4 generations of limb behind Border.

[@x3roxide]

@@mrnice752 my limbs finally came in, cv-9h ilf limbs, 55# @ 30". shooting 580 grain arrows just over 200 fps. Sid told me not to go under 500 grains. I tried with a lighter arrow (530 grain) but the limbs are louder. I'd rather have the energy be pushed into the arrow rather than stressing the limbs. the feel of the borders is indeed similar to the irbis, but the performance is at least another level or 2 above. I'm surprised at borders recommended brace height of 6.5", seems rather low to me, but it works amazingly well with very little tweaking. It does NOT like to be lowered in draw weight however. Using the Gillo GT riser, reducing the weight will increase the limb noise to uncomfortable levels.

[@spaghettibadger647]

I've only found tuning important since switching to field; When one target can be 60m and the next 10 then you need your tune to be spot on But for target I never really bothered

Hi Jake, enjoy your videos. The form videos especially, they have helped me immensely. I am 70 next April still enjoying my archery as are many of my compatriots who are of similar age. Perhaps a video for the more mature archer, exercises, nutrition, aches and pains etc. Just a thought still enjoying the vids. Keep up the good work. Regards John. Warrington England.

Hey Jake, great review, really enjoyed it - learning as much about the tuning and feeling process as about the limbs themselves. As you mentioned it would be good to to see how the limbs shoot barebow and in particular how you go about taking out the reverberations. Great work Mate, thank you.

This is a great situation for me, a legend reviewing the bow I chose, I appreciate your time. I bought my first modern recurve this spring. Uuhka limbs on a Gillo GT. I haven't found the limbs unnecessarily tight in the dovetail on the gt. Having only ever shot vintage equipment before this I had no comparison aside from the 40 to 50 year old bows i've been collecting. I continue to feel I made a good choice. Thank you for your impressions and your expert, objective, perspectives.

[@wm973]

From your first vid 3 years ago, I knew you were super techical and highly thorough shooter. I was so glad to see you start this series and hope you continue for many years. I'd like to see you do more with the Gillo riser and the Uukha limbs. Someone said to do a long term test and I think because both of these are a little out of the norm as far as the higher priced equipment on the market. Great job on these videos and love your book.

[@lauriebloggs8391]

Just bought my first set of Uukha limbs, (sx50) after my SF Carbon composite limbs went bang, and even an aged novice like me, could notice a MUCH smoother draw or lack of stacking. Felt weaker than my composites, but are in fact much faster as my site marks needed raising considerably. A lot is learnt from your films, thank you.

[@8ballali]

Brilliant video. Loved seeing the tuning in, and all the comparison information. I know a lot of barebow archers swear by Uukha. I've only got Fivics Vellator carbon foam limbs, but like them. One day, maybe I'll be able to afford some Uukhas. Love to see you compare them with barebow set-up.

[@philipsturtivant9385]

Well, you're clearly doing somehting right - every item on the Amazon links you posted is already sold out 👍 As ever a fascinating presentation: I'm figgering my next big leap (from a 26lb trainer bow, thinkin' about a forged riser), while you're counting percentage points of efficiency improvements for limbs at a 40(+)lb draw weight I doubt I'll ever attain. Aaaaaand yet - every time I watch, I learn new things, and each new thing shines a light on the next step I should take. Today's learning (in light of my newbie/uncoached/novice purchasing ponderings) was about the limb adjustment options that can be built into a riser. For me - this is simply the best archery channel on KZbin. With every upload you're adding substance to a very practical reference library with serious built-in longevity.

[@bertschramm7285]

Jake, great video, I liked this format as the data collected and the way you show how to calculate the results is something I can do at my end with my equipment at hand. I had never seen feet per second per pound before to look at efficiency of limbs

They are very very good, but if you get the chance to try CV9 Border limbs, you'll find them way faster, and even smoother.

getting a pair of these is on my list of things to do in 2021. mind you the more expensive uukhas like the irbis or vx1000 have what they call x-curve profiles which are similar in look to the hex6 or maybe even hex7's can't say how they compare in performance, but they're definitely faster than conventional limbs and have the signature "let off" feel but not as pronounced (tried a mates covert hunter and a part of me died that day...)

[@markjohnson2166]

[@karlhagen960]

Great review and explanation of testing method. I like to look at lower cost alternatives because of budget. I shoot barebow and ILF recurve for hunting so I also look at grains per pound with my arrow setup. I bought a set of Samick Discovery R3 Carbon/Carbon long limbs for my hunting setup on a 17" riser for a 62" bow @ #45. I am shooting 9.2 grains per pound arrows and getting 215 fps. Maybe not apples to apples but it looks like you are around 8 grains per pound arrow weight. It would be interesting to see a true comparison between the Samick Discovery R3 limbs at an even lower price point ($200) to the mid/higher priced limbs. Interesting that the Samick limbs give the same vibration feedback as the Uukha limbs, no high end vibration but a noticeable low end shock. Thanks for all of your efforts in putting this information out there.

To differentiate lower and upper you can read EX1, because the hand-written could be upside, depending the person who wrote. But EX1 is always in the right sense. I have two different poundages of that same limbs and that is the case.

[@williamjasper6509]

I own these limbs and I had to sand the bolt grove to get it to slide on my Gillo G1 riser so it being loose is probably from when the owner fit them to his riser. Properly set up they are great and definitely a superior product especially at their price point. I love them and quite frankly am not aware of any limbs that are superior at any cost. Also as a simple observation your groups were much tighter with the Uukas. Might just be you were getting warmed up but to my eye much tighter grouping.

[@lordcarnorjax8599]

That a well known issue for Uuhka limbs on Gillo risers.

[@joedunlap3226]

Great review on the uukha's. I have really enjoyed mine..especially the smoothness of the draw. I look forward to getting an upgraded set -- the XX's, which are supposed to be even smoother and faster.

[@Hybridesque]

I got some of these limbs during the summer, they feel pretty damn nice.

[@slowmotionarchery]

Both companies measure at the same draw length. WIN&WIN measures draw weight using 26.25" to the pivot point, with the tiller bolts halfway out, according to messages with their support team and the WIAWIS manual. That is the same as how UUKHA measures draw weight and length. The tolerance is 0.5lbs for WIAWIS limbs and 1.0lbs for UUKHA, so for identically marked limbs there could be a 1.5lbs difference between the two brands if one pair was a the high end of what gets past quality control and the other was at the low end.

[@dtdalton]

My EX1 EVO2 limbs are also a loose fit on my Win&Win riser until the bow is strung. It seems to be more an issue with limb bolt diameter , distance from the dovetail to limb bolt, and even the size of the detente pin. They fit perfectly of an older SF riser.

[@zentradr]

If Jake or anyone else reading this has access to a set of the new Uukha SX50 limbs that have replaced the Ex-1 Evo2, I would love to see a similar review of the SX50s.

[@mbaker8v]

Thanks Jake, I have had VX1000 and now XX limbs from Uukha, never had an issue with the limb fit on the riser bolts, but i shoot an uukha riser too.. One other thing, the EX-1's don't have the super recurve, thats in the top of the range version, and they do give that let off feeling.... Great limbs though, and Uukha do recommend that they are run on at least the medium limb bolt setting, but again thats on their own riser.

[@mcdougles]

I have the same limbs, I changed them from W&W Inno Es Power (which I bought from Amedeo Tonelli on eBay, It is signed too). I like them very much. What I experienced is that the limbs are lighter, they start slowly, then they speed up. So, you need higher spine arrows. But, as it feels more smooth you can have higher poundage.

[@mcdougles]

Jake, can you show us us around in your courtyard ? :D

[@timfleming6545]

[@shredfreak83]

From what i can tell these got discontinued and replaced with the Sx50. On paper they look better and the price is the same so not complaining there. I really like how they have an option on these that doesn't have much decals on it. They're also 2lb increment now on these instead of the old 5lb. This is pretty much becoming my favorite brand. They seem to spend as little money on marketing as possible wich is a big plus in my book.

[@lordcarnorjax8599]

Really enjoyed this video. Was thinking about getting some Uukha limbs for next limbs, currently shooting WNS Motive C5's which are carbon foam and the Evo1's are in the same sort of price bracket so will difenitley look at them when the time comes. Some more reviews like this would be excellent. Would be great if you could review the VX+ limbs vs the WIAWIS MXT-G if you can get some.

[@jk1440]

[@mathiashammar1]

Thanks alot for the review Jake. This kills some of the myths out on forum right off the bat. Win&Win ,MK archery (Korean) insist on measuring their marked limb weight at 26 1/4” AMO draw. That's why same set of marked 40 lbs marked limbs turned out so differently. I guess Uukha is messured at 28" draw AMO just as Hoyt limbs are. So going from WNS,WIN&WIN you need to buy 2 lbs heavier marked limbs to avoid bottoming out of tillberbolt setting.

[@ivanrossi6481]

Are you sure?

[@mathiashammar1]

​@@ivanrossi6481 Look at we know WIN&WIN are messured at 26" draw. And according to Uukha page they are measured at 28" draw for medium bow and limbs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHiadIqde9Rphqc He shoots stiff grouping on bareshafts. Same setup as win&win. That's because of lower draw weight. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHiadIqde9Rphqc He adjust the tillerbolts to increase the draw weight 1 turn and now the bareshafts land closer/close to the fletched. So limbs are 1-2# weaker. That relates to the AMO draw weight diffrences between WIN&WIN and Uuhka wich are 2" inch appart.

[@ivanrossi6481]

I reviewed both both W&W and Hoyt manual, you can easily find on their web sites: Win&Win: "This marked weight is measured at 26 1/4” (AMO standard) to the throat of the bow grip (pivot point) when the limbs are used with 25” risers" Hoyt: "The weight marked on the limb is measured at a 28” standard A.T.A. - A.T.A. draw length is measured at 26 1/4” to the throat of the bow grip plus 1 3/4” So, apart minor differences due to risers design, I would expect the same lbs. I would like to test W&W and Hoyt same marked lbs limbs with a same riser. We should not have huge differences, just minors. No?

Looks like I made a good choice! Now, slap them on a barebow!

[@happycamper6188]

Hi Jake, another great video, thanks. Its very interesting (and useful) to see your meticulous approach applied to limb comparison. If you enjoyed the smoothness and speed/efficiency of the bigger recurve, i would definitely recommend you check out Border Archery limbs! If you aren't already familiar, they make some incredible kit. I have no connection to them, but would say they lead the way in terms of innovation and performance in recurve design. Smoothness, stability, and speed/efficiency are all on a different level to anything else i have seen or tried from the big manufacturers. It would be great to see you comparing them to other top end limbs if you get the chance.

[@bobjimenez4464]

I hope that you get the opportunity to test some high end uukah limbs to truly compare apples to apples. They have a much more radical curve than those.

[@derekhunt9118]

Very useful thanks, there seems to be a big difference of the efficiency as you go higher up the weight range. My ww nano limbs with 38lb give me efficiency of over 5.15 ft lb per lb which is way above most limbs and those tested here. Although I shoot light arrows.

See my comment on not following the archery industry haha. whoops

[@ryanbon]

Yeah marketing on these made it confusing... according to their website it says "Ex1Evo² limbs are made of Monolith C Evo², with 25% carbon fiber content." they make it sound as if they use 25% carbon fiber and the rest is their Evo2 Monolith Carbon... then on most online archery shops such as Lancaster the limbs are marketed as "an all-carbon limb that's more dense than typical laminated limbs." I have owned a pair of these for quite a while and just recently found out they have glass fiber mixed into their formula on these limbs in them as well.

[@lordcarnorjax8599]

The VX+ use Uukha's HM (High Modulus) carbon - stiffer than their Evo2 carbon. 42 MSI vs 33 MSI (Million pounds per Square Inch). The Vx1000 limbs are 100% Evo2 carbon which is what the Ex1 limbs are made from. Hx10's are 50% & Ux100's are 85% Evo2. The other difference is that the VX+ & VX1000 use their Xcurve profile and the others are the progressive curve profile.

[@mathiashammar1]

yes 75% resin or whatever Uukha put in the mixer except carbon.Maybe they use regular plastic fiber to cut the price down.

[@lordcarnorjax8599]

@@mathiashammar1 That's it isn't it, what's that other 75%? Is it less layers of carbon weave with more resin or are the carbon weave layers made up of less carbon fibres and more of some other fibre in the weave. Or has it got to do with the tow ratings for the weaves? Considering there's 4 common tow ratings and Uuhka have four different specs that might be an indicator.

@@JakeKaminskiArchery Thanks Jake , I understand the shooting time would be extensive for such a comparison, but it seems that if a limb design that is faster and just as consistent would have the big companies developing them as well. I have a friend that has shot the Border limbs for awhile and yes they do store energy well and are fast but very touchy to tune and shoot . He has since gone back to a conventional type limb. Again , Thanks for all your hard work.

Good review.

[@Ezzie0304]

Wound in that much I do not think the Uukhas were operating at their optimum efficiency. Would be interesting to see what geometry would give the best results fps/lb, without having to tune for a specific arrow.

[@ryanbon]

Totally random question... just a fun hypothetical... if you had some random riser, any riser, let's just say a 27" Gillo GT in red. Let's say you were setting that riser up to shoot some archery discipline, let's just go with barebow. When doing your initial setup, if you could choose between these #40 Ex1Evo2's and another set of limbs, let me pick something totally at random, like maybe a set of #42 Gillo GTL-88's, which limbs would you lean towards?

[@JakeKaminskiArchery]

Thats a heavy question.....

[@Stephanthesearcher]

the higher up uukha limb even amplifie those advantages but at a steep price increase. i think the ex 1 are the best limbs you can buy for that price. the win&win are double the price?

[@Hammie1981]

What happened to the Hoyt stealth shot? Does it still exist? I do see anyone use it anymore, why is that? Jake, can you please tell us more?

[@tonygedalovitch8958]

I have both the EX1 Evo2s and the VX+ and at the same weight the VX+ are about 5 fps faster than the EX1s so it would be interesting to see what you thought of them.

[@JakeKaminskiArchery]

They are on my Meta DX riser for a review right now actually.

[@tonygedalovitch8958]

@@JakeKaminskiArchery They are very different limbs to shoot even compared to the EX1s so I look forwards to see what you think.

[@pizzapilgrim6525]

What would be better 66 or 70 at 40 lbs for a faster arrow? I'm having a hard time choosing between them I really want the Uuhka evo2 limbs! And G'day from Tassie Australia 👋

[@tonygedalovitch8958]

@@pizzapilgrim6525 The 66" bow would be faster but also much more critical in the shot, the 70 would be slower but a much easier bow to be consistent with, also bare in mind when we talk about the speed difference between a 66, 68 and 70" bow we are only talking about a few feet/second , it is much more important to have a bow that you like to shoot.

[@pizzapilgrim6525]

I don't want to have to buy limb again for a while! Just bought the new mybow wave x riser.. I didn't think it would be so difficult to choose the right limbs! Lol I am torn between a few different pairs 💔 Uuhka evo2 and SX50s I was shooting a pair of kinetic bamboo limbs the other day at 46 pounds and they were quite good! I've come to realise my KAP windstorms 38 lbs are crap! 😔 Pulled back on a pair of border limbs and was amazed at the ease nere anchor point!!! is why I'm interested in Uuhka. Thanks for your thoughts 👍

[@InFerrumVeritas]

Since you have a draw board setup for your riser flex testing, could you potentially do draw force curve mapping of limbs as well? This would help replace "feels smooth" with actual data, right? Something like plotting 1" increments until about 26-27" and then 1/4" increments through 30 or 31" (since that would cover both the "clicker zone" and "stacking").

[@JakeKaminskiArchery]

Im planning on it. I need to get a nice scale that I can do this with, as mine is not robust enough to survive the small shock loads. I will look into a nicer scale and do just this. I have a few things planned with limb data soon. All coming soon.

[@jcgardner5852]

Would the limbsavers help with the low vibration? Impressive performance though. As to smoothness do the carbon foam limbs generally give smoother draw?

[@DeanJohnson67]

I think I recall you taking about a Hoyt Prodigy w/carbon quatro limbs a while back? I have that very setup but am looking for new lower dw limbs as I screwed up my shoulder 2 years ago (grade 4 separation) and am looking for something in the 38-44 # range ? Any suggestions ? Thanks! p.s. reay only do indoor 18m with this setup!

[@alexsmith358]

Perhaps it was shot from a gillo riser and modded to fit.! Nice limb though.

[@eddyg.7761]

love my uukhas sinds day one !!!

[@verano7248]

Thanks for this Video, appreciate it very much. I own a set of Uukhas XX and iam really happy with it. They are smooth, they are fast and quiet. Would be interesting if you measure the weight of the limbs. My W&W RCX100 are around 320gramm, the Uukhas are only a bit heavier , as I remember 10-20 gramm but really fast.

[@hotchihuahua1546]

Wouldn’t limb width effect speed , the narrower limb being faster than a wider limb if the same weight to draw length was the same ?

[@spelling_ax]

"I'm a little sloppy on my form" then proceeds to shoot three arrows in a row at exactly the same FPS =]

[@mikebyford5258]

Jake -- sorry .. another Q .. As a scientist and archer .. you seem to be hitting a paradox . You say the limbs are faster BUT had to increase their # to get bareshaft tune. You eventually got bareshaft tune by increasing the ' draw weight. So with similar draw weights you got bs tune BUT faster fps .. this is a paradox -- if the fps is higher then they should tune weak! so need to reduce the # OTF .. Doesn't make sense. This is NOT a criticism of you ore ither limb design but a genuine scientific Q :)

[@JakeKaminskiArchery]

You are conflating a few things. Outright speed is irrelevant if the bow isn't tuned. I can go up 10# in weight with the same arrows and have them be weak and have a higher speed but that's not how to shoot a bow. Comparing a tuned system to another tuned system with the same components as I mention is a fair comparison. At the same weight they tune the same and one has a higher speed. I assume this is due to more of the stored kinetic energy being transferred to the arrow for whatever reason. Higher speeds don't mean weaker, how the energy is transferred during the power stroke (and when in the power stroke) during the release is where speed comes from and how the spine breaks down or not.

[@lewisbrown7276]

I've been shooting a Uukha UproLite riser with 34lb limbs and Shibuya sight since 2017 using Easton ACC arrows and could reach 90m whilst aiming at the gold... Switched to 38lb Uukha VX+ limbs wi h Uukha's X-Curve at the beginning of this year and my god the difference!!! I love my Uukha setup, although I do find Uukha are far less forgiving and a poor shot you'll be punished... Try and get a set of VX+ limbs Jake and compare those 😊

[@JuztWylde]

Very good thx

[@SPACE_GEKKO]

What is the reason that Uukhas are not represented in WA Olympic Tournaments on World level? The world seems devided in W&W and Hoyt. Is it just sponsorship???

[@JakeKaminskiArchery]

For the most part this is the case.

[@mikekupetsky6879]

I don't understand how you're comparing limb to limb without knowing what the bow weight is unless you're shooting the same weight it's not a fair comparison

[@JakeKaminskiArchery]

I disagree, if the arrow isn't tuned and flying well the test is pointless. You need the arrow flight to be ideal anyhow. This is why I do these tests this way to keep things as real world as possible

[@B1SQ1T]

Love uukha limbs!!

[@airman_85uk]

Uukha higher end limbs have even more curve and preload than these limbs! It gives them even more speed

[@mathiashammar1]

No, you have 3 diffrent options of recurve shape now by December 2020. You have "Curve" and "Xcurve" and new lineup "S-Curve". So make sure to understand what you are looking at before you order something.

[@blainclatworthy5423]

I'm curious, at what draw length does Win n Win measure the draw weight of their limbs?

[@mathiashammar1]

26 1/4” AMO draw. according to 2018 owners manual. So 2lbs heavier then EU/US made limbs.

Super obnoxious logos on the limbs. What are some good carbon limb brands or just any good brands that don't look like giant billboard advertisements on your riser?
