Bullpadel XPLO 02 Comfort 2027

What to expect

On paper this is the XPLO 02 for players who want its leverage overhead without the hard, 3K carbon contact. Expect attacking right-side and net players to get the most from it, and control-first players to find the 27 cm balance slow in fast exchanges. The open question until reviewers test it: how much smash pace the softer face gives up.

The XPLO 02 Comfort 2027 is the comfort variant of Bullpadel's XPLO line, the attacking diamond that Martín Di Nenno plays. It keeps the geometric diamond shape, the 38 mm profile and a balance that retailers list at about 27 cm, so on paper it is still a racket built to finish points overhead.

The difference is in the contact. Where the standard XPLO 02 uses a stiff 3K carbon face and a medium-hard feel, the Comfort uses Bullpadel's Fibrix face and is listed with a medium feel and 360–370g instead of 365–375g. Retailers price it around 240 to 270 euros, well below the standard model.

What the Brand Says

Bullpadel says the Fibrix face mixes flexible glass fibre with carbon for a more comfortable response, and that the MultiEVA core uses different densities to handle both slow and fast impacts. According to the brand, the thicker hexagonal XPLO Core² structure resists deformation under high loads so more of the swing reaches the ball, while Wave System² spreads loads through crossed X-shaped reinforcements.

The brand also lists Air Power, a larger air channel on the lower frame meant to make the racket move faster through the air, a 3D Grain texture to help spin, and Ease Vibe dampeners built into the holes to cut vibration.

Compared with the 2026 XPLO Comfort, retailer figures show the balance moving from about 26.5 cm to about 27 cm, and the frame technologies carry the second-generation names. Treat that as a reading of the spec sheets, not a measured change.

Early coverage is thin. All Court Padel has published a short playtest that sets it against the standard XPLO 02, and Bullpadel's launch video covers the 2027 pro line as a whole.

How It Compares

On paper, the Bullpadel XPLO 02 2027 is the stiffer choice: 3K carbon face, medium-hard to hard feel, 365–375g. Pick that one if you swing fast and want maximum pace on the smash. The Comfort should suit players who want the same shape with a softer contact.

The Bullpadel Xplo Comfort 26 shares the Fibrix face and the 360–370g weight. The 2027 is listed with a slightly higher balance, so expect a bit more weight in the head. The 2026 model is often discounted, which makes it the value pick until reviewers show what the update changes on court.
