Under the leadership of the DLX Technology group, the combined efforts
of designers, pneumatic, mechanical, manufacturing and software
engineers, multimedia developers, linguistic specialists, professional
paintball players and leading paintball field and store operators have
culminated in the development of the ultimate luxury paintball marker –
a synchronization of style, raw performance and unparalleled customer
support.
Design of the Luxe started with a clean slate by championship winning
pro players from the NXL and NPPL defining their needs – especially
those that were not met by today's markers. Speed, consistency,
accuracy, gentle handling of brittle paint and a compact form factor
were given, but the missing elements were not so obvious – speed of
maintenance and ease of configuration. In today's paintball tournaments
every second in the staging area between points or best 2 out of 3
matches is critical, and that is where current paintball technology has
fallen short - until now.
The valve and air handling systems of the Luxe eliminate common failure
points and provide for full cleaning and lubrication of the bolt,
valve, ball detents and anti-chop components in seconds, without tools.
“It really is unbelievable,” said Rocky Knuth, a professional player
and owner of the Seattle Naughty Dogs, who has had the opportunity to
rigorously test Luxe prototypes for several months. “I can have the
entire bolt and valve assembly out of the Luxe as fast as I can pop
open a can of soda.”
Luxe innovations go well beyond the physical. The Luxe has been endowed
with new means of communication. Although it has all of the programming
flexibility serious tournament paintball players have come to expect –
it has done away with the complexity. Memorization of beep and blink
codes or carrying a manual to decipher them is unnecessary.
Features are not the only aspect to set the Luxe apart. From the ground
up, its high-performance alloy parts are machined in the United States,
by American workers using the most advanced manufacturing processes
available – a rarity in today's paintball industry. The Luxe does not
roll off of an assembly line. Instead each is hand built, tested and
adjusted one at a time at DLX Technology by a Certified Luxe
Technician, who is also an experienced professional paintball player
with the background to know by feel when a marker is in top form.
