KEEP UP THE PACE

The Nox 2026 collection marks a new era in padel. Developed in collaboration with Agustín Tapia, the brand-new AT10 Luxury Genius series delivers an unprecedented blend of personal customization, power, and control.
With technologies such as the Weight Balance System, Dual Spin surface, and exclusive Photochromic Paint, Nox redefines what top-level performance on the padel court really means.

The 2026 line is fully focused on customization: thanks to small interchangeable weights, you can fine-tune the balance point of your racket yourself. Add the new Alum XTREM Carbon—lighter, stiffer, and more durable—and you get a collection that perfectly combines power, comfort, and innovation.
