Best for attackers who want XPLO power with a softer feel
Advanced attacking players who want the XPLO's shape and overhead power but find the standard XPLO 02 too stiff and demanding, and players who want to protect their arm without giving up a head-heavy racket. It suits players who attack from the net and want easy depth on overheads without a fully aggressive swing. It is not designed for beginners, and players who rely on precision in slow, delicate shots may find the response too lively. Players with existing elbow problems should look elsewhere, as the high balance still loads the arm.

Overview of the Bullpadel XPLO Comfort 2027
The Bullpadel XPLO Comfort 2027, also called XPLO 02 Comfort, is the softer, more accessible version of Martín Di Nenno's XPLO 02. It keeps the geometric head, the high balance and the XPLO Core², Wave System and Air Power structure of the line, but uses Fibrix faces instead of 3K carbon, with a MultiEVA core. Bullpadel positions it as an offensive racket that is more comfortable and easier to play than the standard XPLO, and it costs noticeably less. The result is a powerful, forgiving attacking racket with easy ball exit and a soft-to-medium feel.

Technologies & Materials
- XPLO Core² — the second-generation XPLO structure linking handle, heart and upper frame, with a reinforced base and two upper fins for stiffness and a hexagonal frame 3 mm thicker than before;
- Wave System — a frame design that flexes and passes energy from the top of the racket, aimed at helping defensive and slower shots;
- Air Power — the second-generation air channel, with the lower channel enlarged by 50 % to reduce drag and raise swing speed;
- Geo Shape — the geometric head shape of the XPLO line;
- Fibrix — a hybrid face material that combines flexible fiberglass with rigid carbon for comfort without losing control or power;
- MultiEVA — an EVA core built from foams of different densities: denser material for power, softer material for comfort and vibration reduction;
- Smart Holes — a hole pattern tuned to this design that shapes face rigidity, ball exit and feel;
- 3D Grain — a surface texture matched to this mold to improve ball contact;
- Ease Vibe — spring-shaped dampers in four holes. Bullpadel states they absorb up to 49 % of impact vibration, and moving them adjusts feel and balance;
- Custom Weight — 3 g resin-finished carbon plates for adjusting balance and weight.
What Makes the Bullpadel XPLO Comfort 2027 Special
The XPLO Comfort combines the XPLO's attacking architecture with a softer face. Fibrix flexes more than carbon on contact, so the ball leaves the face with less effort and off-center hits keep their pace, while XPLO Core² keeps the frame stable. The geometric head with a 535 cm² face widens the usable hitting area, and the high balance adds weight to overheads.

How it Feels on the Court
Defense
Ball exit is good on low balls and when absorbing fast shots, and exits off the glass are easy, which helps on lobs.
Important
The racket moves better than its shape suggests, but compact swings and early footwork are needed: with a relaxed hand, the lively face can send counter-lobs and measured lobs too long.
Net Play
Volleys have body, travel deep and can be accelerated, and the wide sweet spot helps in fast exchanges. When the pace rises sharply, the high balance limits quick reactions.
Advice
On drop volleys and soft blocks, the grip needs precision, as the ball can rise more than expected.
Bandeja & Víbora
The bandeja comes out smooth and deep without an aggressive motion, and the 3D Grain texture helps depth hold at full extension. The víbora accelerates comfortably and spin bites when the wrist commits, though the soft-to-medium touch favors ease over a dry, precise feel.
Smash
Strong and accessible. The smash produces real power with less strain on the arm, although harder rackets offer a more decisive finish and a little more precision.
Maneuverability
Moderate. It moves better than its geometric shape suggests, but the high balance is felt in quick exchanges.
Forgiveness
High. The sweet spot is generous for an attacking shape, and off-center contact keeps its pace.
Comfort
The touch is soft to medium.
Note
Fibrix, MultiEVA and Ease Vibe make it noticeably more comfortable than the standard XPLO 02.
Conclusion
The XPLO Comfort 2027 brings the XPLO's attacking geometry to a wider range of advanced players. It gives easy power overhead, a generous sweet spot, good ball exit in defense and a comfortable feel. In return, it is less precise on slow shots and less decisive than the stiffer standard XPLO. It fits attacking players who want power and comfort together; those who want a dry, explosive response should choose the XPLO 02.
