The Story
After countless hours of tuning, adjusting, prototyping, and testing, the new TURBO Valve is ready to take the field. Our goal was not only to make the cyclic rate of our valve faster but also to make it more easily adjustable and reliable.
To increase the potential rate of fire, DLX addressed the two critical factors stroke and recharge.
Valve stroke was reduced by 50% over previous-generation valves. This means that the internal actuator shaft travels less from valve open to valve close, shortening the trigger stroke needed to fully cycle the marker. The TURBO Valve gives you a shorter valve activation window. So you can set your trigger shorter than before, or reposition the activation point to provide a greater range of adjustment.
Recharge rate was also reduced, for the valve and bolt system. By reducing the time needed for the valve and bolt system to refill with air between shots the marker reaches a ready state faster. This speed increase occurs during the reset phase of the bolt system cycle, so paint handling is unaffected while overall potential rate of fire is increased These two critical focuses have virtually eliminated the chance of short stroking your marker. They have also improved overall trigger feel and raised the potential rate of fire.
