Designed in partnership with professional player Agustin Tapia, the Nox AT10 Luxury Genius 12K Alum XTREM 2026 and the Nox AT10 Luxury Genius 18K Alum 2026 are the brand’s flagship padel rackets from the 2026 collection. Although each model offers unique features that accommodate various playing styles, both strive to provide the ideal balance between power and control.
Alumnus of AT10 12K XTREM 2026
The 12K aluminized carbon used in the construction of the AT10 12K Alum XTREM 2026 improves ball output and gives the impact a solid, crisp feel. Players that like aggressive shots and explosive power will love this racket. Advanced players can control rallies with accuracy and speed thanks to its rigidity, particularly when attacking from the net.
2026 AT10 18K Alum
The AT10 18K Alum 2026, while still a high-performance racket, offers slightly less stiffness compared to the 12K model. This makes it more comfortable and forgiving, especially for players who depend on the back of the court to be reliable. Without compromising too much power, the 18K design helps produce controlled shots and offers better handling.
Tapia’s influence from Agustin
The design of both rackets has been heavily influenced by Agustin Tapia, one of the top padel players. These models are a reflection of his emphasis on variety in his playing. As Tapia has said about his collaboration with Nox, “I wanted a racket that adapts to different situations on court, giving me both control and power when I need it.”
Choosing the right model
Choosing between the AT10 12K and AT10 18K is mostly based on the player’s preferences. The 12K Alum XTREM 2026 is a superior option for those that prefer aggressive play and want to produce as much ball as possible. The 18K Alum 2026 may be more appealing to players that want back-of-court support and seek a more forgiving atmosphere.
