Finally, after ages of waiting, the Noctu batch is finally done. 120 pieces will be on retail soon. We also made another 50 E1NS, but unfortunately, our machinist used the wrong alloy which made the E1NS come out damn light. Their weight (61g) is now comparable to the first E1NS released in early 2007. They have a noticeable vibe/wobble and we would like to call it a “C-Grade”. Due to this flaw, the final retail, if we decide to sell them in general, will be as cheap as possible.
Now for the improvements: Both E1NS and Noctu now use our famous Candy Blast coating! Also, we decided to make Noctu lighter (64g). Now it’s an evil and fast beast.

Noctu got gold!
We’re happy to share this with the world: Noctu left prototyping phase and is ready for production.
This was a long way, but we finally managed to have it like we always wanted it to be – awesome. The Noctu sports a brand new coating technology offering incredible shiny colours. Pictures don’t do justice at all. The final ones will look just like these in the picture. The first batch will consist of around 100 Noctus.
We’re aiming for an early 2009 release because we also got some other stuff in the making, haha.
Darkness in Prague!
Long time no entry, but don’t worry guys, we’re up to something big.
I found a photo of Hadrien (the french 1A champion) on yoyo.cz showing off some skills in a metro station in Prague. What’s so special about this?
Bling bling.
Potayo from Malaysia polished his raw Noctu prototype to real brightness!
Awesome job, mate!
Noctu round two!
We received our colour samples today and wow! Those look fantastic!
Check ’em out:
The yellowish silver one features a special unique coating we’re currently testing. More infos to come.
We’re still not sure though, which colour/surface will be the final one but don’t worry, we’ll pick the best!
