Bullpadel launches the XPLO 26, the latest evolution of the XPLO racket, recognized as the most powerful in its history. This new model has been designed for Argentine player Martín Di Nenno, who will use it on the court during the 2026 season.
The XPLO 26 incorporates specific Bullpadel-Lab technologies that promise to redefine the concept of power.
Geometric Shape
The XPLO 26 goes beyond expectations, introducing the concept of explosive power. With a geometric frame and a high-strength carbon structure, this racket offers the perfect combination of explosive power and aerial control.
The key lies in maximizing the force generated by the player’s movement. Through the racket’s balance, the weight distribution has been positioned higher, shifting it toward the tip. To achieve this, a wider frame has been created at the 2 o’clock and 10 o’clock positions, increasing the contact area with the ball and producing a higher launch angle.
The high balance increases the racket’s moment of inertia, making it easier to generate leverage. This means that when you execute an offensive overhead shot, the racket is more likely to follow through with the motion, helping you generate additional energy in your hits.
Therefore, if you are an offensive player who likes to dominate the aerial phase of the game, this racket will become a natural extension of your skills, taking your performance to new heights.
Geometric Core
The Geometric Core technology, located in the heart of the racket, amplifies the power of your shots, allowing you to unleash your maximum potential on every point. A double diagonal reinforcement has been included in the upper area, providing greater stability and reducing the twisting and bending movements that occur when striking the ball. Additionally, the lower part of the core contains two structural reinforcements in the arm area, adding solidity and firmness to this zone.
Hexature
Maximum rigidity comes from within. The new hexagonal structure, designed by Bullpadel’s R&D team, increases in thickness by 3mm. The hexagonal tubular extended along the racket frame provides greater stability and resistance, making it less sensitive to torsion and increasing the racket’s durability through optimized energy transfer along the hexagon’s sides. All of this contributes to more consistent performance, allowing for more powerful shots.
Wave System + Air Power
The new XPLO 26 combines cutting-edge Air Power and Wave System technologies to deliver explosive, radical power, creating the most powerful racket ever developed by Bullpadel.
Air Power expands the lower side channel of the frame by 50%, providing agility and acceleration to instantly unleash all its power.
Wave System further enhances this explosiveness by optimizing both flexibility and rigidity. This channels maximum energy into every shot and dissipates vibrations, ensuring that the force remains intact.
Together, these innovations make the XPLO 26 an absolute power machine, setting a new standard for power in padel.
Ease Vibe
Ease Vibe are next-generation dampeners designed to optimize your performance on the padel court. Integrated into four strategic holes in the racket, Ease Vibe has been rigorously studied by the Polytechnic University of Madrid, proving its ability to absorb up to 49% of vibrations produced when hitting the ball.
Thanks to their redesigned spring-shaped geometry, these dampeners not only improve vibration absorption but also enhance overall performance. This innovative shape allows unique customization of the racket’s feel and balance, giving you the flexibility to adjust your game to your needs. Whether you seek greater control or power, Ease Vibe lets you adapt your racket to maximize every shot and ensure a more comfortable and effective playing experience.
Smart Holes
The hole distribution in a padel racket plays an important role in performance, influencing factors such as control, ball exit, and power. The new hole pattern of the XPLO 26 has been designed from scratch, perfectly aligned with the racket’s structure, playing style, and materials. This innovative, radical format eliminates drilling along the longitudinal axis, increasing the face’s rigidity. The result is a firmer, drier feel, focused on maximizing power. Every detail of the design is intended to enhance the racket’s capability, offering superior performance and unmatched explosiveness in every shot.
CustomWeight
The CustomWeight system has been specifically redesigned for the XPLO 26 format. To further increase power for players who wish, the entire weight area has been redistributed to the top of the tip. This allows you to add 3, 6, or 9 grams according to your preference, modifying the racket’s balance and making it much more extreme.
Hesacore
The new Hesacore eliminates arm discomfort and unwanted vibrations thanks to Bullpadel’s advanced anti-vibration elastomer, which filters and minimizes these sensations, allowing you to focus fully on performance. Its ergonomic honeycomb design maximizes contact between the hand and handle, allowing fingers to rest in concave surfaces. This reduces effort and injury risk while providing a firm, comfortable grip. With the new Hesacore, maintain full control of your racket at all times.
Vibradrive
Vibradrive features the insertion of a high-elasticity elastomer that splits the handle along its longitudinal axis. The material’s exceptional elasticity, combined with its strategic placement, makes Vibradrive essential for absorbing vibrations, especially during off-center hits.
X-TEND Carbon 12K
The XPLO 26 is made with Bullpadel’s advanced X-TEND Carbon fiber, 12K version. Twelve thousand high-gram carbon filaments woven biaxially create a more open fabric with a lighter laminate, optimizing elasticity and reactivity with the mold for optimal overall performance. Along with high-modulus epoxy resin, this ensures maximum energy transfer, unleashing the full power of each shot and delivering an explosive playing experience for players seeking the most powerful hits.
Multieva
The core of this padel racket is designed with a “sandwich” structure composed of three EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) layers of different densities, carefully adapted to optimize performance in every game situation.
The two outer layers, made of higher-density, stiffer EVA, are designed to maximize power on explosive shots, offering a fast, forceful response when hitting the ball.
The inner layer, made of softer, lower-density EVA, acts as a cushioning core, increasing tolerance and comfort on slower shots. This internal softness not only enhances hitting feel but also reduces vibrations, lowering the risk of injury and providing greater control on delicate shots.
