Padel Racket Review - Siux Pegasus Pro 2026 Storm Grey

What the reviewers say

Reviewers agree almost completely on the feel, and split on how much power comes with it.

Carlos González Cañas, writing as Time2Padel's verified expert, is the most direct about the trade-off: "Siux has made its 2026 rackets stiffer across the board, and in the Pegasus that lands as a dry, medium-hard impact with low ball output, and in this Pro version the rubber is simply not reactive." His own scores put control and spin at 8 out of 10 and ball output at 6.

Time2Padel's separate hands-on piece backs that up from the back of the court: "It does not punish you at the back, the sweet spot is wide enough to lift good lobs, and the stiff feel gave us real confidence on blocks where you have to hold the face firm." The same review is blunt about the ceiling overhead. It is not the most powerful racket out there, and the core does not push the ball for you.

Rhea Mhae Villena at PadelJuju reaches the same conclusion from the other direction: "It amplifies your technique, but it does not generate effortless power on its own." She rates the bandeja and vibora as the standout and marks resets only average, because the racket will not carry a soft ball for you.

PadeLMQ, who run it as a test racket, describe a first impression of solid and stable, with the 12K faces giving "a firm impact with controlled power" and the sweet spot sitting just above the middle.

Padelreference is the outlier on power, scoring it 9 out of 10 while marking maneuverability at 6. Read next to the others, that looks like a ceiling rather than a floor. The speed is in there if your technique can reach it.

The one real disagreement is the sweet spot. Time2Padel and PadeLMQ call it wide, PadelJuju calls it playable but not generous. The honest reading is that it is forgiving for a firm teardrop and unforgiving next to a round control frame.

The video testers who spent real court time with it push back on one point: how firm the racket actually is. Probando Palas, who rate it among the most versatile rackets of 2026, are explicit about the touch: "It is medium plus a point or two, it never reaches medium-hard at any point, and at medium pace the ball comes off without much effort." They also set it directly against the Electra Pro and call the Pegasus Pro the more controllable and less demanding of the two.

Roberto Cardi, testing the Lava Orange build on court, scores it high almost everywhere and lands on the same limit: "The maneuverability is remarkable and the cut shots are excellent, what I miss is a bit of weight in the ball." He rates the smash a 10 out of 10 and adds a buying note worth repeating, that the racket comes alive around 365 to 370 grams and feels thin at 360.

Padel Reviews, who tested it against their own Siux Fenix Pro, offer the most useful correction: "The biggest surprise wasn't the power, it was the maneuverability." They call the sweet spot enormous, and report that the core felt noticeably softer on court than the hard EVA label suggests. Their one complaint runs against the spec sheet rather than with it, that they wanted the 3D texture to bite even harder.

Our take: Bowe's summary

The appeal here is the feedback. Contact is dry and you always know where on the face you hit it, and the new wavy roughness is deep enough to genuinely bite on slice, which is rarer than the marketing on most rackets suggests. The cost is comfort and top-end power, because a full carbon frame damps very little, though every tester who played it on court found the core softer and more willing at medium pace than the hard EVA label suggests. Worth it if precision and spin are what you are actually buying, and worth skipping if you want the racket to do part of the work.

Solid rather than easy. The balance sits close enough to the middle that the head does not drag behind you in the corners, and reviewers consistently rate the blocks highly: hold the face firm against a heavy ball and it stays square. Lobs are the catch. There is no trampoline in the core, so depth on a defensive lob comes from your swing and not from the racket, and a short, rushed lift lands short.

This is where the 12K face and the hard core pay off, but only on a complete swing. Smashes come off fast and flat when you commit and rotate through the ball, and on a late or lazy arm it feels noticeably weaker than the spec sheet implies. The bandeja and vibora are the real highlight. The raised texture holds the ball long enough to bend it down hard, and the stiff face keeps the trajectory honest.

Quicker in the hand than most attacking frames at this weight, because the balance is medium instead of head heavy. Volleys go where you point them, and the face does not twist much on a hard, low return. Touch is the trade-off. Drop shots and short angles have to come from your hand, because the racket offers no help on a soft ball.

How it compares

Against the Siux Fenix Elite 2026, the Pegasus Pro is the more versatile of the two. The Fenix is a diamond with a higher balance: more explosive overhead, harder work in defense and in fast net exchanges. Pick the Fenix if you play left and build every point towards a smash. Pick the Pegasus Pro if you switch sides, defend properly, and want the racket to stay quick in your hand.

Against the older Siux Pegasus Revolution 2 2024, the 2026 is the firmer, drier racket with far more surface grip and much less free ball output. The Revolution 2 is the friendlier buy if you want a Pegasus that still gives you depth. The 2026 Pro is for players who would rather supply the power themselves and keep the precision.
