Enebe Aerox 7.1 V2 Padel Racket (2026)

Stringers World gives a teardrop head, a 3K carbon face, a Black EVA HR3 core and a carbon frame, with an even balance and a smooth surface. The core is described as medium density, giving an intermediate feel with some cushioning on impact. The teardrop shape is said to raise the sweet spot for more power without losing control.

Those are retailer and brand-style descriptions, and no independent test sits behind them. Zona de Padel, writing about the 2025 version, calls it a fan favourite with a matte finish and suggests it suits advanced players, so shop wording on the surface and level does not agree.

The Enebe Mustang 3K shares the 3K carbon face, but Padelful scores it as a head-heavy attacker, while the Aerox is listed with an even balance. If you want a racket that sits flatter in the hand and moves faster in defence, the even balance is the gentler choice. If you want a finisher, the Mustang is built for it.

A scored middle-ground alternative is the Enebe Space 2.0. Enebe also has a sibling in the same 7.1 V.2 family, the Combat 7.1 V.2, with identical published numbers and a control-first pitch.

Fit a racket protector and a fresh overgrip from the padel grips range. Lively padel balls, such as the Enebe Pro Bounce, suit a medium core, and the right padel shoes help you set early. A padel bag with a thermal side protects the face from heat.
