NEW product
Empire SYX
SPOTLIGHT
Paintball’s World Cup has long been the launchpad for new
products in the industry and 2018 was no exception, as Empire,
one of the game’s leading brands, selected this event to “soft”
launch their newest marker, the Syx. A generational step forward
for the long-running and successful Axe platform that has been
used by local, regional, divisional and even professional players over
the seasons, the Syx is a step forward in style and performance for the platform, with
a sleek and updated new look, updated internals and all the bells and whistles serious
competitive paintball players have come to demand from their markers out of the box,
from anti-chop eyes and a clamping vertical feed neck to regulators, light weight, a
multi-piece barrel and all the electronic modes of fire a tournament player might need.
Test markers have begun to make their way out into the hands of trusted players like
Rocky Knuth of the Naughty/Northwest Dogs with promising results, so keep an eye on
www.EmpirePaintball.com for more details!
Luxe X
A more than successful tournament marker since its debut a decade ago, the Luxe
has been used by top players and teams at major events around the world. Houston
Heat, the 2018 World Cup professional winners, even carried the Luxe to the top of the
podium. Conveniently enough, the newest Luxe model was released at the World Cup,
the Luxe X. There’s not much to say other than that the successful, feature-packed, event
and series title-winning Luxe has been improved in numerous ways, from performance
to maintenance to construction, making a great marker even better. Standard features
across the Luxe platform continue to be toolless bolt removal, low pressure operation, a
low-rise clamping feed neck, anti-chop eyes, a full suite of electronic features and even
voice feedback. If the best of the best in paintball markers is on your Christmas list, the
Luxe X had better be near the top. For more information visit www.LuxePaintball.com.
