Difference from the Bullpadel Xplo 2026: The 2025 model is a classic diamond with medium balance, the 2026 model a hybrid shape with high balance and a reworked custom weight system (3/6/9 g at the head) – so even more head-heavy and aggressive. The 2026 model currently costs €140.76, around €35 more.

Bullpadel's power diamond for Martín Di Nenno in the 2025 model year. Core (MultiEVA), faces (12K Carbon X-Tend), weight (365–375 g) and profile (38 mm) are the same as on the 2026, the shape is not: the 2025 is a classic diamond with medium balance, the 2026 a hybrid shape with high balance and a reworked CustomWeight system (manufacturer specifications for both model years at racketguide.com, checked on 12.08.2026). In practice that means: slightly less head weight in the swing, but slightly handier than its successor.
At 370 g, it is heavier than three quarters of all models in our comparison: that puts mass behind the ball and adds stability against hard shots, but costs reaction speed at the net. Head shape Diamond means: mass high up, a small, high sweet spot – maximum power, but less margin on off-centre hits than round and teardrop; plus the medium balance as the all-round standard. The hard core gives direct feedback on clean contact but is less forgiving. With power 8 and control 6 out of 10, it is clearly built for power.
With a forgiveness rating of 2.2 out of 10, it is less forgiving than 65% of the diamond-shaped rackets in our comparison. Of the 3 versions of the Bullpadel Xplo in our comparison, this is the cheapest (€106). Hard core and medium balance: only 21 of the 507 models we compare have this combination.
Attacking players looking for a hard diamond with 12K carbon who don't want to pay the premium for the hybrid shape of the 2026 model year.

Our classification: Intermediate and Competitive. Its forgiveness is 2.2 out of 10 – uncompromising, only for consistent hitters.
The Bullpadel Xplo 2025 weighs 370 g and has a diamond shape, a medium balance and a hard core (MultiEva). The frame is made of Carbon 12K (X-Tend).
Not by our rule: the core is hard, the diamond shape shifts the weight upwards, 370 g is above 360 g. We only call rackets arm-friendly if they have a soft core, a balance that isn't head-heavy, a round or teardrop shape and weigh 360 g at most. Suitable models are listed in our guide to padel rackets for tennis elbow.

Yes, the Bullpadel Xplo 2026. The 2025 model is a classic diamond with medium balance, the 2026 model a hybrid shape with high balance and a reworked custom weight system (3/6/9 g at the head) – so even more head-heavy and aggressive. The Bullpadel Xplo 2025 costs €35 less than its successor today.
The closest matches in shape, hardness, balance, weight and price: Dunlop Aero - Star 2026 (7.6/10), Bullpadel Icon 2025 (8.4/10) and Head Graphene 360 + Alpha PWR 2025 (7.8/10).
Diamond with medium balance, a hard EVA Pro core and a 12K carbon face – attack-oriented, but more balanced than a head-heavy diamond.
Last year's Icon – technically identical to the 2026 one, just with the older design.
Diamond-shaped attacking racket with high balance and a hard construction, which at 370 g is among the heavy models.
