DLX Luxe IDOL Mechanical Frame Kit
DLX Luxe IDOL Mechanical Frame Kit
DLX is proud to introduce the latest iteration of the Luxe® mechanical frame.
Building upon the unrivaled success of previous mechanical frames, the
Luxe® IDOL frame offers improved ergonomics, cyclic rate, and ease of use.
Supplied with everything you need to quickly swap your Luxe® from
electronic to mechanical, the kit includes an all metal trigger frame, trigger,
grips, Turbo Valve, and air source adapter. Additionally, a spare air-transfer
port is included to further simplify the conversion process.
The Luxe® IDOL frame comes equipped with revised soft-touch grips yet
remains compatible with any full-sized 1911 grip, opening up unlimited
aftermarket options. The grip is further enhanced through the addition of
milled details to the backstrap of the frame. The Luxe® trillion logo is also
machined into the frame for a striking yet functional look.
The trigger and trigger-guard have been re-designed to maximize room for
the player's finger, while remaining within established competition
restrictions. The trigger's forward angle and broad surface are designed to
meet the player's finger when gripped in a standard fashion, allowing the
average user to reach a higher ROF than previous designs. The simple, flat
design also provides an intuitive platform for players with a less-traditional
style or unique trigger technique.
The Luxe® IDOL mechanical kit also includes the new Luxe® IDOL air source
adapter (ASA), allowing vertical storage in the pits as well as a reduced part
count when compared to previous Luxe® air source adapter designs.
Features:
- NEW Turbo valve
- Lowered trigger position for increased leverage on trigger pull
- Enlarged trigger guard (increased to league limit)
- Flat face trigger allows for a closer to 90 degree “break” point
- Improved grip material and texture.
- Includes new IDOL ASA design
Turbo Valve
After countless hours of tuning, adjusting, prototyping, and testing, the new
TURBO Valve is ready to take the field. Our goal was not only to make the
cyclic rate of our valve faster but also to make it more easily adjustable and
reliable.
To increase the potential rate of fire, DLX addressed the two critical factors:
stroke and recharge.
Valve stroke was reduced by 50% over previous-generation valves. This means
that the internal actuator shaft travels less from valve open to valve close,
shortening the trigger stroke needed to fully cycle the marker. The TURBO
Valve gives you a shorter valve activation window. So you can set your trigger
shorter than before, or reposition the activation point to provide a greater
range of adjustment.
Recharge rate was also reduced, for the valve and bolt system. By reducing
the time needed for the valve and bolt system to refill with air between shots,
the marker reaches a “ready” state faster. This speed increase occurs during
the reset phase of the bolt system cycle, so paint handling is unaffected while
overall potential rate of fire is increased.
These two critical focuses have virtually eliminated the chance of short
stroking your marker. They have also improved overall trigger feel and raised
the potential rate of fire.
The TURBO Valve ships factory-installed on the Luxe® IDOL mechanical
frame and is backward-compatible as an upgrade for TM40, ERA, and AMP
markers
NOTE: This Mechanical Frame does not fit the TM40, Luxe X, Ice or any other previous generation Luxe
