CenterPoint Amped G2D: Specs, Cocking System and Replacement Parts

The Amped G2D is the current generation of CenterPoint's Amped line and sits near the top of the range for speed, rated at 430 FPS and 164 ft-lbs of kinetic energy. It is a full-size compound - 32.93 inches long, 8 inches wide cocked and 12 inches uncocked, with a 9.5 lb mass weight - built around a CNC-machined cam system and compression fiberglass quad limbs on an aluminium riser. The headline feature is the fully integrated silent cocking system with an auto-retracting sled and de-cocking, so cocking and letting down are both done from the bow itself rather than with a separate device.

The package includes a 1.5-5x32 scope with a dual-illuminated reticle, three 20-inch .003 carbon arrows and a detachable quiver. A ball-bearing arrow retention spring, anti-dry-fire and an auto safety are standard. As with the rest of the current line, CenterPoint does not publish a draw weight or power stroke for the G2D, so those figures are left out below rather than guessed.

CenterPoint does not publish a string or cable length for the Amped G2D, and it is important not to assume it shares the older Amped 425's 35.11-inch string. Despite the shared name, the G2D is a different platform with a different cam system and an integrated cocking sled, so the geometry is not the same. Ordering an Amped 425 string for a G2D is the kind of badge-based mistake that leaves you with a string that will not fit.

The reliable approach is the same one that covers every model on the strings-by-model page: order a set listed specifically for the Amped G2D from a custom string shop, or measure the string on your bow loop to loop under light tension and order to that number. On a compound the cables wear with the string, so replace them as a set on any bow more than a couple of seasons old. The integrated sled does not change which string you need, but it does mean a pro-shop fitting is the sensible route rather than improvising at home.

Like the rest of the current compound range, the Amped G2D shoots a 20-inch .003 carbon arrow, and that is what the three factory bolts in the box are. Stay with 20 inches and roughly 400 grains total when you reorder; a quality aftermarket bolt such as the Carbon Express PileDriver 20-inch chambers and flies correctly, and a CenterPoint badge is not required. Match length, grain weight and nock type, and re-sight if you change weight. The bolts page has the detail on nocks and broadheads.

The G2D's cocking system is built in: an integrated silent sled that retracts automatically and de-cocks, rather than a crank you attach and remove. That is a different philosophy from the AT400, whose silent crank is included but detachable, and closer to the Sinister 430D, which also keeps its cocking mechanism fixed to the stock. The practical upshot is that you never have to source or carry a separate crank for the G2D, and de-cocking at the end of the day needs no bolt fired into the ground.

If you are comparing cocking methods across the range before buying, the cocking-device page lays out when a built-in unit, a detachable crank or a rope cocker each makes sense.

The two fastest current CenterPoints are the G2D and the Sinister 430D, both rated at 430 FPS with a built-in or integrated de-cocking system. The Sinister 430D carries the higher 225 lb draw and a similar energy class, while the G2D is marginally narrower cocked - 8 inches against 9 - and pairs its speed with a variable 1.5-5x32 scope rather than a fixed-power optic. For most hunters the choice comes down to the scope and the feel of the stock rather than raw numbers. The current lineup guide puts the whole range side by side.
