Bullpadel 2026 Pro-Line Padel Rackets Collection

Bullpadel Vertex 05 – Power Meets Precision

The Vertex has long been Bullpadel’s iconic power-control hybrid, and the Vertex 05 range for 2026 builds on that legacy with significant upgrades. At its core is the Vertex 05, a diamond-shaped racket with a high balance and robust construction that favors aggressive play without sacrificing maneuverability. The 2026 edition introduces a new “Curvaktiv” technology, a deeper twisted side profile that enhances frame rigidity and stability for more solid smashes. The frame also integrates an Air React Channel 2.0, an updated aerodynamic throat that reduces drag for faster swing speeds. On the face, Bullpadel uses Xtend Carbon 3K fiber for a crisp, responsive strike, while the latest MultiEva layered core provides both power on full swings and soft touch on delicate shots. Together these features deliver the trademark Vertex blend of explosive power with control, ideal for advanced all-court players.

New variants join the Vertex family in 2026. The Vertex 05 Geo introduces an innovative geometric frame design to push power to new heights. By widening the contact area at the 2 and 10 o’clock positions, the Geo frame increases the ball’s launch angle and sweet spot, yielding unprecedented hitting power. The heart of the racket has also been reinforced with a double diagonal bridge in a more triangular geometry, optimizing force distribution across the frame. The result is a Vertex that swings with even more punch on attacking shots. Meanwhile, the Vertex 05 Comfort (CMF) returns to the lineup, swapping some carbon fiber for fiberglass in the faces to create a softer, more forgiving feel on impact. This Comfort version caters to players who love the Vertex’s power but want extra arm-friendliness and shock absorption. For a different balance of characteristics, the Vertex 05 Hybrid model transitions to a slightly lower balance and a teardrop shape. This makes the Hybrid more maneuverable and versatile, offering a blend of power and control with quicker net handling – perfect for aggressive players who still volley and defend frequently. There’s even a Vertex 05 Woman edition tuned for female players or anyone preferring a lighter setup: it retains the Vertex DNA but in a reduced weight and adjusted balance configuration. All Vertex 05 models come equipped with Bullpadel’s ergonomic Vibradrive handle system to dampen vibrations and protect the player’s arm, as well as the CustomWeight accessory system for fine-tuning racket balance and weight to personal preference. In summary, the Vertex 05 series represents Bullpadel’s pinnacle of design for the power/control player – delivering raw attacking power with added stability (thanks to Curvaktiv) and the option to choose a variant that best suits your style, from the standard and Geo for maximum power to the Hybrid, Comfort, or Women’s version for extra versatility and comfort.

Bullpadel Hack 04 – Dynamic Power Unleashed

If Vertex is about balanced power, the Hack line is all-out explosive. The Bullpadel Hack 04 (2025/26) is the latest evolution of Paquito Navarro’s signature power racket. This diamond-shaped cannon, weighing ~365–375 grams, is built to generate maximum smash speed and back-court power for advanced offensive players. Endorsed and used by Paquito himself, the Hack 04 brings a decade of development to an apex in 2026. It introduces Bullpadel’s new Total Channel aerodynamic frame design, which runs a channel around the entire frame perimeter to minimize air resistance. This innovation, linked with the internal Air React Channel, makes the racket swing faster and feel more agile despite its head-heavy balance, effectively transforming player swing speed into heavier ball impact. In practice, you’ll feel quicker acceleration through the stroke and extra “pop” on the ball, perfect for dominating fast-paced rallies. Complementing this, a redesigned TriCore carbon bridge in the racket’s heart further stabilises the frame, reducing vibrations and boosting power transfer. Notably, the Air React Channel now even runs through the heart of the Hack, speeding up airflow and swing manoeuvrability. All these enhancements aim to give players dynamic power, meaning the harder and faster you swing, the more the racket rewards you with explosive shots.

Materials and other technologies in the Hack 04 are top-tier. The striking surface uses TriCarbon 18K carbon fiber – an 18,000-filament weave unique to Bullpadel that provides a lightweight yet torsionally stiff feel for rapid energy return. Inside, a MultiEva multi-layer core combines high-density outer layers (for instant power on hard hits) with a softer inner layer (for control and comfort on softer touches). The frame is reinforced with CarbonTube and Nerve channels for added rigidity and shock resistance. Bullpadel’s signature features are all present: a Smart Holes curve pattern expands the sweet spot for better forgiveness, and a textured 3D Grain finish on the faces allows players to grab the ball for more spin on volleys and viboras. The Hack 04 also comes with the Hesacore honeycomb grip sleeve and Vibradrive handle insert to dampen vibrations, reducing arm strain during play. For those who like to tweak their racket, the integrated CustomWeight system lets you attach small weight plates to various points on the frame to modify the balance and heft to your liking. In short, the Hack 04 is built for players who want to dominate the point with sheer power, offering a stiff, high-octane response that Paquito Navarro uses to great effect on the pro tour. 

The Hack range in 2026 has also expanded with new sub-models. In addition to the standard Hack 04, Bullpadel offers a Hack 04 Hybrid and a Hack 04 Comfort. The Hybrid version shifts to a more forgiving teardrop head shape (often called a hybrid shape) while keeping the weight in the same range. This design slightly lowers the balance and enlarges the sweet spot, giving players a blend of maneuverability and power, ideal for those who still attack aggressively but want a bit more control or faster reactions at the net. Despite the shape change, the Hack Hybrid shares all the premium tech of the standard Hack 04: the TriCarbon 18K faces, MultiEva core, Air React Channel, CustomWeight, Hesacore grip, etc. The Hack 04 Comfort variant, on the other hand, is tuned for maximum shock absorption and ease of use. It retains the explosive character of the Hack but incorporates a softer fiberglass face (Fibrix) and perhaps a slightly softer core, resulting in superior vibration dampening and a more arm-friendly feel on every shot. This Comfort model is perfect for players who love power but have elbow concerns or simply prefer a smoother impact. Across all these models, the essence of the Hack line remains the same, “maximum explosiveness” backed by cutting-edge tech. Now players can choose the flavour that best suits their game, from Paquito’s full-power spec to a hybrid or comfort option for a balanced touch.

Bullpadel Neuron 02 – Precision and Innovation 

Bullpadel’s Neuron range represents the brand’s drive to innovate for control and precision-oriented players. Originally launched as a single control racket, the Neuron line has expanded to two models in 2026 to cater to a wider range of advanced players. The flagship is the Neuron 02, a racket engineered for those who prioritise surgical placement and feel over raw power. What sets the Neuron apart is its unique frame construction and anti-vibration design. It introduces an advanced PrismLock frame structure, a kind of triangulated throat geometry, that minimises twisting and keeps the racket exceptionally stable even during heavy hits. By increasing torsional rigidity, PrismLock ensures that energy transfer on impact is efficient and precise, so shots go exactly where you aim them. The Neuron 02’s balanced design and medium weight (~365–375 g) give a solid, controlled swing, promoting confidence in every stroke. In essence, this racket “locks in” your accuracy while also filtering out harsh vibrations, resulting in a very secure and comfortable feel on the ball. It’s the reliable padel for players who value consistency and control with a firm touch.

New for 2026, Bullpadel also unveiled the Neuron 02 Edge, an enhanced pro edition of the Neuron co-developed with Argentine star Federico Chingotto, who is known for his quick, strategic play. Inspired by Chingotto’s needs, the Neuron 02 Edge features a special Geo head shape (a modified geometry) that adds a bit more punch to the otherwise control-focused frame. This means players get an extra boost of power without sacrificing control, turning high-speed defensive shots into offensively precise counter-attacks. The Neuron Edge is essentially the Neuron on steroids: it keeps the PrismLock and other tech, but with tweaks to let advanced players step on the gas when needed. Both Neuron models utilize Xtend Carbon 3K faces for a responsive touch and the dual-layer MultiEva core for a mix of crispness and cushioning. They also come equipped with features like Ease Vibe anti-vibration inserts, CustomWeight adaptability, 3D grain texture, Hesacore grip, and Vibradrive handle, all oriented toward giving the player maximum command over the ball. The upshot is that Bullpadel has managed to pack a lot of innovation into the Neuron series, making it arguably one of the most advanced control-oriented rackets on the market. For players who want to dominate points through precision, placing the ball exactly where opponents don’t want it, the Neuron 02 and Neuron 02 Edge offer a perfect blend of stability, feel, and just enough power to finish the job when an opening appears. Chingotto’s endorsement further cements that these rackets can perform at the highest level of competition.

Bullpadel XPLO – The Power Revolution

One of Bullpadel’s headline innovations leading into 2026 is the introduction of the XPLO range, a racket line dedicated purely to extreme power. Launched in late 2024, the Bullpadel XPLO quickly earned a reputation as the most powerful racket Bullpadel has ever produced. It’s designed for advanced players who want to overwhelm their opponents with raw attacking shots. The XPLO features a distinctive Geometric hybrid shape, which looks like a cross between a diamond and a teardrop, paired with a high balance point. This geometry widens the frame at the 2 and 10 o’clock positions, effectively boosting the leverage and launch angle for smashes. In addition, Bullpadel built a Geometric Core structure with double-diagonal carbon reinforcements inside the frame, dramatically reducing twisting on off-center hits and improving stability during those full-force swings. To further enhance stiffness, the XPLO has Hexature reinforcements, a 3mm thick hexagonal carbon rib integrated into the frame, which provides rock-solid rigidity and consistent energy return. The combination of these features means that when you unleash a smash with the XPLO, very little energy is lost: the frame holds firm and channels your swing energy straight into the ball.

Bullpadel didn’t stop there. The XPLO introduces Air Power slots that widen the lower bridge channel by 50%, acting like an air intake to reduce drag and turbocharge the racket head speed on smashes. Meanwhile, a Wave System in the frame fine-tunes flexibility and shock absorption so that despite its power focus, the racket isn’t overly stiff or uncomfortable. To tame the vibrations from such a powerful stroke, Bullpadel installed Ease Vibe rubber dampeners in four strategic drill holes, which laboratory tests showed can cut vibrations by almost 49%. These work in tandem with the usual Vibradrive handle insert and Hesacore grip to make the XPLO remarkably comfortable to swing for a racket in class. The face material is Xtend Carbon 12K, a high-end 12K carbon fibre woven to provide a lively response and durability at impact. Of course, the XPLO also carries over proven Bullpadel tech like the MultiEva core, CustomWeight system, and 3D grain surface texture for spin. The end result of all this engineering is a racket that hits with incredible power yet remains sufficiently stable and user-friendly for frequent play. Specs-wise, the XPLO weighs around 365–375 g with roughly a 26.5 cm balance (head-heavy) and a 535 cm² hitting surface. For players who love to smash first and ask questions later, it’s a dream weapon. And for those who want the power but need a bit more comfort, Bullpadel also offers an XPLO Comfort version that replaces the carbon fibre with Fibrix (a carbon+fiberglass blend) on the faces. This softens the feel and slightly enlarges the sweet spot, making the XPLO Comfort easier on the arm while still delivering huge hitting power, perfect for aggressive players who want to protect against injury or simply prefer a more forgiving touch. The XPLO’s arrival underscores Bullpadel’s commitment to constant innovation: even as they refine staples like Vertex and Hack, they’re not afraid to develop entirely new concepts to push padel racket performance to the next level.

Pro Models for Women’s Game

Bullpadel has also ensured that its women’s pro players have state-of-the-art equipment, and the 2026 collection highlights that focus with models like the Elite W and Flow series. These rackets deliver top performance with specifications tailored for female athletes or anyone preferring a lighter, more manoeuvrable feel. The Bullpadel Elite W 26 is the signature racket of Gemma Triay, who ascended to World No.1 and brought her attacking flair to the Bullpadel team in recent years. The Elite was first introduced in Gemma’s hands in 2023 and has since become a flagship women’s model. It features a unique hybrid shape somewhere between a diamond and a round (closer to a teardrop) to give Gemma the power to finish points while maintaining a medium balance for control. The core has reinforced arms and added structural edges that increase the moment of inertia, meaning the racket resists twisting and stays stable even on off-centre hits. In practice, this translates to a very forgiving sweet spot and easy playability, which is crucial for high-stakes matches. Bullpadel packed the Elite with their best tech: the Air React Channel in the throat for lightness and aerodynamics, and the Vibradrive handle system (an elastomer insert through the grip) to eliminate vibrations. In fact, upon its launch Bullpadel touted the Elite as the most technologically advanced racket in the range, and Gemma herself has praised its balance of power and control, noting its wide sweet spot and elegant design developed in collaboration with Bullpadel’s designers. The Elite W 26 comes in a chic aesthetic (cream, gold, and black accents chosen by Gemma) and embodies Bullpadel’s dedication to women’s high-performance gear, it delivers the same level of innovation as the men’s rackets, but optimised in weight and balance for female players.

On the other side, the Bullpadel Flow has been the weapon of choice for Alejandra Salazar, one of the most decorated players in padel history (Ale has 4 times finished the year as World No.1, with 7 World Championships and 60+ titles to her name). The latest edition, Flow 26, is a tribute to Alejandra’s remarkable career, celebrating 25 years of her impact on the sport. The Flow is designed to give players the same confidence and performance that Ale relies on in the toughest moments on court. It’s built with a diamond-shaped head for attacking power, yet tuned to be slightly lighter (around 350–360 g) and more maneuverable than the equivalent men’s power rackets. The Flow 26 Legend maintains consistency in every shot and an “extra boost of power” thanks to that diamond shape, proving that a lighter racket can still pack a serious punch. Bullpadel uses Fibrix fibre (a mix of carbon and fiberglass) on the faces of the Flow to create a more flexible impact, combined with a MultiEva core and 3D grain face texture to ensure a mix of power, control, and spin. Technologies like FlowForce (a dynamic frame design), Vibradrive, and Carbontube are integrated as well, making the Flow a top-tier racket for advanced women players who play an aggressive game. The Flow’s special Legend cosmetic in 2026, an exclusive black with gold engravings, literally lists Alejandra’s every tournament and triumph on the racket, a nod to her legacy. Using this racket, club players can feel a bit of that champion spirit on court.

Bullpadel didn’t stop with just Gemma’s and Alejandra’s rackets. The 2026 range also introduced additional pro-level models for female players. Notably, the Bullpadel Pearl 26 was added as a sophisticated, high-performance option in the women’s lineup. While not tied to a single player’s name, the Pearl carries an elegant design and is built to offer female players an elite racket that balances style and performance. It slots in as a control-oriented sister to the powerful Elite and Flow, broadening the choices for women who want pro technology tailored to their game. Furthermore, Bullpadel rolled out the Wonder racket, famously known as Claudia Fernández’s padel, signalling the brand’s commitment to up-and-coming talent. The Wonder 26 (named after Claudia’s nickname “Wonder Girl”) features an innovative design aimed at “wonder-inducing performance” for players seeking something unique. By giving a young player her own signature model, Bullpadel shows it is investing in the next generation. Overall, the Elite, Flow, Pearl, and Wonder models ensure that women are well represented in Bullpadel’s Pro-Line, each offering a different balance of power, control, and weight to suit players like Gemma Triay’s aggressive yet controlled style or Ale Salazar’s attacking brilliance. These rackets come with all the same technological bells and whistles (carbon fiber composites, vibration dampening, etc.) found in the men’s models, proving that Bullpadel’s top innovation is available to everyone.
