The Bullpadel Xplo Comfort is the comfort version of Bullpadel’s most powerful racket: the same geometric head, the same balance of about 265 mm and the same 365–375 g weight as the Xplo, but with a Fibrix face instead of 12K carbon. Bullpadel describes it as combining the latest Bullpadel-Lab ideas to give a comfortable and powerful experience, whatever your power level.
Its ratings are lower than the standard Xplo’s: power 3 out of 5 against 5, and control 2. This review covers the build, the specs, how it should play, how it differs from the standard Xplo and who should buy it, with alternatives because the US listing is often down to a couple of units.

Our review of the Bullpadel Xplo Comfort
The Xplo Comfort is an Xplo with the edge taken off. The geometric head, the balance and the weight are unchanged, and the ratings show what the Fibrix face does: power drops from 5 to 3 out of 5, the feel moves from intermediate to hard down to intermediate, and the sweet spot improves from 2.5 to 3. Control is only 2 out of 5.
That profile describes a racket that is still demanding. Stiffness stays at 4 out of 5, the weight is 365–375 g and the balance is head-heavy, so the comfort comes from the softer face and the damping (Ease Vibe, Vibradrive) rather than from an easy frame. It is a comfort version in the sense that it is gentler than the Xplo, not gentle in absolute terms.
We have not played it ourselves, so this is an assessment of Bullpadel’s spec sheet and ratings. On paper it suits an advanced attacker who wants the Xplo’s shape with a more forgiving ball exit.
Pros
- Xplo shape and aerodynamics with a softer face
- Slightly larger sweet spot than the standard Xplo
- Ease Vibe and Vibradrive damping
- Cheaper than the standard racket in Europe
Cons
- Control rated only 2 out of 5
- Still heavy and head-heavy
- Stiffness still rated 4 out of 5
- Third-party seller with very limited stock
Who is the Bullpadel Xplo Comfort for?
The Xplo Comfort suits advanced attackers who want a geometric power racket but find the standard Xplo too stiff, and players who want a head-heavy racket with some extra comfort. It also suits players moving up from a softer diamond.
Who the Bullpadel Xplo Comfort is not for
Skip it if you need control or forgiveness, because the ratings are modest, or if you want maximum power, where the standard Xplo is the stronger racket. Beginners should start with our beginner racket guide.
What to know before you buy the Bullpadel Xplo Comfort
Xplo Comfort versus the standard Xplo
Both share the geometric head, the balance of about 265 mm and the weight of 365–375 g. The standard Xplo has a 12K carbon face and a power rating of 5, and the Comfort has a Fibrix face and a rating of 3.
Weight and balance
Bullpadel lists 365–375 g with a balance of about 265 mm and a 38 mm profile. A geometric head with that balance will feel heavy in the hand, and it asks for a strong, fit arm.
Stock and the 2027 range
The US listing is from a small third-party seller and is often down to a couple of units. Bullpadel’s store also lists a 2027 Xplo Comfort, so this is last season’s racket, and Bullpadel’s own price for the 2026 racket is about 180 euros after a 25% reduction.
How the Bullpadel Xplo Comfort plays
Smashes and the vibora: The geometric head and the high balance give head weight, although the Fibrix face sends the ball out with less bite than the standard Xplo. Our guides to the kick smash and the vibora cover the technique.
Volleys: The maneuverability rating of 2.5 out of 5 means quick exchanges are harder than with a lighter racket.
Defense: Hard work with a heavy, head-biased racket, although the softer face helps a little.
Comfort: Ease Vibe, Vibradrive and the Fibrix face are the main comfort features.
Bullpadel Xplo Comfort vs the alternatives
Inside Bullpadel, the Xplo is the standard power racket, the Hack 04 Comfort is the lighter comfort diamond and the Vertex 05 is the all-rounder. Outside Bullpadel, the Babolat Technical Viper Soft is a softer power diamond. Our best rackets for advanced players guide compares the wider field.
