If you're using the Nox AT10 Genius Attack 18K Alum 2025, you already know it’s a racket built for powerful, attacking players. But in 2026, Nox has refined that formula with smart updates in technology, construction, and performance.

Co-designed with Agustín Tapia, the 2026 version is a true evolution: more precise, more adjustable, and more durable than ever.

Material: 18K Alum Carbon, now with refinements

Both models feature 18K aluminized carbon, known for its solid feel and consistent performance even in extreme temperatures. But in 2026, the improved mold and layering make the racket:

  • Slightly firmer
  • More stable under pressure
  • Better balanced overall

It retains that attacking spirit, but with a bit more precision and confidence on every shot.

Spin and surface: From exclusive spin to dual spin

The 2025 version used Exclusive Spin, combining 3D hex texture in the center with silica sand on the edges.

The 2026 version upgrades to Dual Spin, applying both textures across the entire face:

  • More grip on the ball
  • Higher spin potential on trays, vipers, and smashes
  • Improved surface durability

For players who like to hit with spin, this is a big win.

Core: MLD Black EVA remains

Nox has kept the trusted MLD Black EVA core in the 2026 model. This multilayer foam adapts to different shot speeds and playing conditions. Expect:

  • Soft touch on slow shots
  • Explosive response on smashes
  • Great comfort with solid feedback

New visuals: Chromic paint in the core

The 2026 model features Chromic Paint, a photochromic finish in the core of the racket that reacts to light and subtly changes color. It’s a striking design element that also ties it into the premium feel of the new AT10 Signature line.

New aerodynamic mold + longer grip

Like the rest of the 2026 AT10 series, the Attack 18K Alum now features:

  • EOS Tunnel perforations for better airflow
  • A more aerodynamic frame for quicker swings
  • Extended 30mm grip for double-handed backhands

Even with its aggressive diamond shape and high balance, the new design feels faster and more maneuverable.

Weight Balance System: Adjust to your style

The biggest new feature in the 2026 model is the Weight Balance System, which lets you customize the racket’s balance point using included 2g and 4g counterweights.

  • Add weight at the top for more power in smashes
  • Shift it closer to the grip for better control and faster reaction

This flexibility lets you tailor the racket to your preferences something the 2025 version couldn’t offer.

What stays the same?

Core AT10 features are still here:

  • Carbon frame for strength and stiffness
  • Diamond shape for maximum attacking potential
  • SmartStrap® for hygiene and safety
  • Custom Grip + Pulse System for reduced vibration
  • 30mm longer grip for two-handed play
  • MLD EVA core for control and explosiveness

Conclusion: Built for attack, now even sharper

The Nox AT10 Genius Attack 18K Alum 2026 refines everything that made the 2025 version great and adds personalization, more spin, and better precision. It’s still aggressive, but with added control and feel.

If you’re an offensive player who wants a racket that can match your intensity and adapt to your game this is a clear upgrade.
