Bullpadel ICON 2026 Padel Racket

The Icon 26 is Bullpadel's diamond-shaped racket in the Pro Line, built around a high balance point that puts more weight toward the head. That combination is aimed at advanced and professional players running an offensive game, not players prioritizing a forgiving, control-first feel.

• Shape: Diamond
• Weight: 370-375 g
• Balance: High, approx. 26 cm
• Hitting surface: 535 cm²
• Frame: Carbon Tube, 100% bidirectional woven carbon
• Face: X-Tend Carbon 12K
• Core: Multieva, three-layer EVA
• Level: Advanced to professional, offensive playing style

The X-Tend Carbon 12K face uses 12,000 high-density carbon filaments woven on a biaxial pattern, which keeps the layup light while still giving a stable, responsive strike. Underneath it, the Carbon Tube frame is fully bidirectional woven carbon, built for stiffness and a consistent response rather than flex.

Torsion Concept is a 25-degree structural twist built into the racket's arms. It's meant to resist sideways flex on off-center contact, which keeps more of the swing's energy going into the ball and helps the head stay stable during fast exchanges at net.

The Multieva core is a three-layer EVA sandwich. The two outer layers use a firmer, higher-density foam for a stronger response on power shots, while the softer inner layer absorbs shock and takes some of the sting out of off-center or lower-pace hits.

3D Grain adds a raised texture across both faces, shaped specifically for this mold, so spin shots grip the ball more consistently on groundstrokes and touch shots alike.

Four Ease Vibe dampeners sit inside the frame and are rated to cut vibration transfer by up to 49 percent, based on testing run with the Polytechnic University of Madrid. They're removable, so once the factory set wears in, players can swap in fresh Ease Vibe dampeners rather than replacing the racket.

The frame is also built for Bullpadel's Custom Weight system: up to four 3g plates fit into slots near the head, and a weighted cap in the butt takes either a 5g or 10g insert, for up to 22g of adjustable weight in total. Adding or repositioning the plates lets a player push the balance further toward the head for more mass on smashes, or pull it back toward the handle for quicker reactions at net. The Custom Weight plates are sold separately from the racket.

In the handle, a Vibradrive elastomer insert runs along the grip's length to absorb shock, particularly on shots that land toward the edge of the frame rather than dead center.
