Nox AT10 GENIUS ATTACK 18K ALUM 2026

NOX AT10 Genius Attack 18K Alum 2026

The NOX AT10 Genius Attack 18K Alum 2026 combines the attacking diamond shape with the more comfortable 18K Alum carbon and the multi-layered MLD Black EVA core. The result is a racket that is emphatically attacking but offers more comfort and versatility than the Attack 12K. For players who want to dominate from the net but do not want to sacrifice feel and control on defensive shots.

What is new in 2026?

New 2026 mould with improved aerodynamics, EOS Tunnel, Weight Balance, Dual Spin and Photochromic Paint. The diamond shape has a high balance and extended grip for extra leverage. The 18K carbon gives a more comfortable hitting feel than the 12K at equal attacking orientation.

Playing character

The diamond shape delivers maximum power on smashes and overheads. The 18K carbon tempers the hardness of the impact compared to the 12K: it feels firmer than the round 18K but softer than the Attack 12K. The MLD core adapts response to shot speed. In defence the core absorbs more, in attack it springs back more stiffly. That makes this the most versatile attacking racket in the AT10 range.

Who is this racket for?

Advanced players with an attacking style who want more comfort than the Attack 12K offers. Players who want the power of a diamond shape but not the extreme stiffness of the 12K Alum Xtrem carbon. Also suited to strong intermediates who deliberately want to progress toward an attacking racket.

Attack 18K versus Attack 12K

Both diamond, both attacking. The Attack 18K is more comfortable with softer carbon and multi-layered core. The Attack 12K is stiffer and more explosive. Choose the 18K for attacking power with comfort. Choose the 12K for maximum directness.

Storage

The EVA core is sensitive to extreme temperatures. Store the racket at 15 to 25 degrees Celsius. Not in a hot car (EVA softens irreversibly above approximately 50 degrees) and not in freezing cold (EVA becomes hard and brittle below 5 degrees). Use a bag with a thermal compartment. Let the racket acclimatise for 15 to 20 minutes before intensive play.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Attack 18K softer than the Attack 12K?

Yes. The 18K carbon and MLD core give a more comfortable, versatile feel. The attacking orientation remains thanks to the diamond shape and high balance.

Can I switch from the round 18K to the Attack 18K?

If you are developing an attacking style and want more power at the net, the switch is logical. The diamond shape demands more technique in defence. Try both during a racket test with us.
