DLX Luxe Idol Mechanical Grip Frame - Black

Luxe® IDOL Mechanical 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.

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.
