Matt Stewart removed and disassembled the bolt and valve system, and removed the eye cover / ball detents from a Luxe in under three seconds, winning a Luxe of his own.

For Immediate Release - The introduction of the Luxe professional grade paintball marker has given speed a whole new meaning. When paintball players talk about speed they immediately think of how many balls per second their marker can fire – and the Luxe excels there. Its quiet, accurate and consistent firepower are among the reasons top professional paintball players like Ryan Greenspan, Konstantin Federov and Rocky Knuth use it as their marker of choice – but there is another kind of speed that is just as important.

The Luxe has broken all-new ground with its rapid maintenance design. Magnetic latching systems and an integrated de-gassing vent allow the entire valve system of the Luxe, as well as its ball detent and anti-chop eye assemblies, to be removed for cleaning or inspection in a matter of seconds.

“From the Ironmen to the All-Americans, I've played for and coached some of the best professional paintball teams in the world,� says DLX Technology Director Darryl Trent, “and I've competed at that level in America, Canada, South America and Europe. The difference between winning and losing isn't just how fast you are on the field – it's also how fast you can get ready, or deal with a problem in the staging pit. We took that to heart with the Luxe design, and it blows everything else away. Some other paintguns have a bolt that comes out fast, but that's it. You need time and tools to solve any problems with the valve or under the eye covers. With the Luxe it's all right there - you can pull the entire valve system almost instantly and disassemble it just as fast.�

At the 2008 PSP Paintball World Cup, players visiting Luxe Manor had the opportunity to find out for themselves just how fast the Luxe Quick-Strip system performs. Competing in groups of four, competitors raced to remove and disassemble the Luxe valve system, and remove its ball detent assemblies which also serve as the marker's eye covers, before “punching in� game-show style to stop the computer timing clock.

“It was amazing,� says Trent, “We were expecting fast times under 15 seconds, based on how fast our techs take the marker apart – but these kids were unbelievable. On the first day, two of them had broken the six second mark, and we saw faster times each day after that. Most of them had never even held a Luxe before.�

On the afternoon of Saturday, October 25th, the fastest Luxe Quick-Strip Challenge competitors gathered for the final round, where the slowest time was less than six and a half seconds. The contest winner was Matt Stewart from Kentucky, who, during the preliminary rounds disassembled a Luxe in a scant 2.98 seconds, and then went on to beat the other contestants in the head to head match ups in the final round. He left the tournament not only with the title of the world's fastest Luxe Tech, but with a brand new Luxe, courtesy of DLX Technology. Runner's up received prizes ranging from Luxe t-shirts to limited edition Luxe Quick-Strip Challenge tech mats.
