Shop listing: Levi's Twin Horse (Limited Edition) — Aireo Cyclone 16mm on aireo-sports.com is its own SKU (same Gen 4 PulseFoam elongated Cyclone as other USAP PBCoR .43 Nanograph colorways). Levi's Twin Horse limited-edition artwork on the standard elongated Nanograph Cyclone (USAP PBCoR .43). In our files the elongated Nanograph build benchmarks around ~2,315 RPM spin, swing weight ~112, upper power tier, loud stiff feedback. $199 MSRP → ~$179 with code PRH (10% off).
The Verdict
Levi's Twin Horse collab graphics on Cyclone Nanograph.
Collector SKU for players who already know they like elongated Aireo pop. After thorough on-court evaluation, the Aireo Cyclone 16mm is a strong fit for aggressive players who want foam pop on an elongated platform and like limited-run graphics — see category scores below for power, control, spin, and feel.
If you're comparing it against other foam-core paddles, it's one of several great foam core paddles we've played this year.

Performance Scores
On-Court Feel
Out of the box this plays like the other Nanograph elongated Cyclones: sharp contact, fast ball exit, and real pace on drives without a brick swing weight. Levi's Twin Horse limited-edition artwork on the standard elongated Nanograph Cyclone (USAP PBCoR .43). The limited graphics do not change the layup — you are buying the same foam-forward pop and Nanograph bite with a collector face.
At the kitchen, control is earned, not given. My brother and I both had to dial back first-volley speed until we trusted the block. Serves want to fly; topspin rolls reward a full windshield finish once the face is wiped down.
Compared with the Aireo Cyclone Hybrid shapes, the elongated LE gives more reach and a heavier swing feel (~~112) at the cost of hand speed in fast hands battles.
Performance & Testing
The Aireo Cyclone 16mm went through our standard on-court protocol - drills, rec play, and at least one tournament match. Scores reflect consensus feedback, not a single reviewer's opinion.
Grit & Durability
Thermoformed Gen 4 build with Nanograph face texture. Limited runs can sell out; performance wear matches standard Cyclone Nanograph — wipe the face and expect texture to mellow over heavy hours like other grit-forward carbon.
Who It's For
Players who already like the Cyclone elongated pop story and want USAP PBCoR .43 legality with a standout design.
Skip if you need max forgiveness, quiet feel, or the quickest hybrid hand speed — see the Cyclone Hybrid Standard or Blackout reviews.
