NOX 2027 padel rackets: all 17 models, prices and specs

The NOX 2027 padel racket line-up consists of 17 models, starting at €124.99 for the Equation Advanced and reaching €389.99 for Agustín Tapia’s Genius range. NOX launched the “100% Pure Padel” campaign on 23 September 2026 with Tapia and Miguel Lamperti. The range includes five Genius, five Ventus, five Pro Cup and two Equation Advanced rackets.

Shape, weight, face materials and EVA cores create meaningful differences between attack, control and all-round models. The comparison below links to all 17 official NOX product pages, showing the main specifications and current published prices.

NOX 2027 padel rackets: complete price comparison

Four Genius models cost €389.99, while the Genius Lite and three Ventus models are €349.99. The remaining two Ventus rackets cost €299.99. Tapia’s Pro Cup HARD and SOFT are €199.99 each, Lamperti’s three ML10 Pro Cups are €149.99, and the Equation Advanced models are €124.99. All 17 official specifications list a 38 mm thickness.

* The Ventus Control 3K product description gives a round shape with HR3 Black EVA, but the product specifications list a teardrop shape with MLD Black EVA. These conflicting official details are both reported rather than selecting one without confirmation. All euro prices are those stated by NOX and may change.

Genius: five Agustín Tapia rackets

The Genius 18K Alum combines a teardrop mould, 18K Alum carbon faces, MLD Black EVA and a declared weight of 360–375 g. It is the all-round version of the 18K pair. The Genius Attack 18K Alum keeps the principal materials but changes to a high-balance diamond shape intended for more offensive play. Both models are priced at €389.99.

The Genius 12K Alum XTREM and Genius Attack 12K Alum XTREM are likewise divided by teardrop and diamond shapes. Each costs €389.99 and retains MLD Black EVA. NOX describes its 12K Alum XTREM weave as reducing fibre waviness and improving consistency when temperatures change. A 12K-versus-18K label alone does not determine how a racket will feel or perform for a particular player.

The Genius 12K Alum XTREM Lite costs €349.99 and weighs 350–360 g. Its HR3 White EVA core is softer than the multilayer black core of the other Genius models. The lower starting weight may suit players seeking a lighter premium racket, but it is not an entry-level design. Tapia also appears on two Pro Cup models, HARD and SOFT, taking his total to seven rackets.

For the commercial background, see Actu Padel’s article on Nike, Tapia and his NOX contract. The sponsorship discussion is separate from the confirmed 2027 racket specifications.

Ventus: five attack, hybrid and control configurations

Edu Alonso’s Ventus Hybrid 12K XTREM uses a teardrop shape, 12K XTREM carbon and MLD Black EVA. Aimar Goñi’s Ventus Attack 12K XTREM is a high-balance diamond model with an Oversize Grip handle extended by 30 mm. Both are listed at €349.99 and 360–375 g, despite their different playing intentions.

Miguel Lamperti’s Ventus Control 3K, also at €349.99, has 3K carbon faces. Its official information requires clarification on mould shape and core. Aranzazu Osoro’s Ventus Control 12K is described as round with MLD Black EVA and a 360–375 g weight range for €299.99.

The Ventus Hybrid 12K Lite completes the family at €299.99. It weighs 350–360 g and retains a teardrop profile, 12K carbon faces and MLD Black EVA. The Lite label mainly describes a lower starting weight, not the automatic removal of technology.

Pro Cup and Equation: alternatives from €124.99 to €199.99

Tapia’s Pro Cup HARD and SOFT, both at €199.99, have teardrop moulds and aluminised fibreglass faces. The HARD has HR3 Hard EVA; the SOFT uses HR3 Soft EVA. Their distinct impact feel is more important when choosing between them than the signature. NOX lists Exclusive Spin and Pulse System, without necessarily including the full Genius technology package.

Lamperti’s three ML10 Pro Cup rackets are round and cost €149.99. The COORP has a smooth surface, the Rough a textured finish and the Silver returns to a smooth finish with a lower 350–365 g weight. The others weigh 360–375 g. They share aluminised fibreglass faces, HR3 cores and a replaceable Smart Strap wrist cord.

The Equation HARD and SOFT Advanced are each priced at €124.99. They use round moulds, 3K fibreglass faces, a 3D texture and a 355–365 g weight range. NOX places them in its intermediate category. HR3 Hard EVA creates a firmer impact feel than HR3 Soft EVA.

VCS, EOS Tunnel and Weight Balance explained

On selected premium models, Weight Balance enables interchangeable 2 g and 4 g counterweights, up to a combined 8 g. The added weight adjusts the racket’s mass and balance. EOS Tunnel changes openings in the mould to influence airflow and handling. Dual Spin combines 3D relief and sandblasted texture to help generate spin.

NOX says its VCS system filters 60% more vibrations than earlier versions. Some individual racket pages instead cite up to 56% less wrist impact. These are different manufacturer claims and should not be read as independent medical evidence. Pro Cup and Equation models use different damping approaches.

Which NOX 2027 racket should you choose?

• Control and progression: Equation Soft or Hard around €125, a classic round ML10 Pro Cup or the carbon-based Ventus Control 12K.
• Versatile play: Genius 18K Alum, Genius 12K Alum XTREM or Ventus Hybrid 12K XTREM. Consider Lite models if starting weight matters most.
• Attack: both Genius Attack rackets and the Ventus Attack 12K XTREM use diamond shapes and high balance points. They favour players with reliable timing and preparation.

The declared mass alone does not describe handling. Balance and weight distribution also affect movement. Trying volleys, defence after glass and low-speed strokes is more useful than deciding from a price tag or a professional endorsement.

Official product links and availability
