Lightweight, Manoeuvrable and Versatile
The NOX Ventus Hybrid 12K Lite 2027 is a lightweight all-round padel racket for advanced players who want to combine speed, control and power. Weighing just 350–360 grams, it is the lightest and most manoeuvrable model in the Ventus collection.
The racket combines a 12K Carbon hitting surface with an MLD Black EVA core and a medium-hard feel. Its teardrop shape and balanced weight distribution provide a versatile playing experience, while the lightweight construction supports quick reactions and smooth movements.
Why Choose the NOX Ventus Hybrid 12K Lite 2027?
The 12K Carbon provides a firm and responsive hitting surface. Thanks to its updated carbon construction, NOX combines high stiffness with a lower weight, delivering a direct response without compromising manoeuvrability.
The MLD Black EVA core combines different material densities. This provides control and ball output during defensive shots, while the core offers sufficient responsiveness when accelerating through volleys, víboras and smashes.
The low weight makes the Ventus Hybrid Lite particularly suitable for quick reactions at the net and players who want to manoeuvre their racket effortlessly. Thanks to the Weight Balance System, you can also adjust the weight and balance to suit your personal preferences.

Who Is This Padel Racket Suitable For?
The NOX Ventus Hybrid 12K Lite 2027 is designed for advanced players looking for a lightweight and versatile padel racket without a soft playing feel. The 12K Carbon and MLD Black EVA core provide a medium-hard, direct response, while the lower weight improves manoeuvrability.
Ventus Hybrid 12K Lite or Ventus Hybrid 12K XTREM 2027? Both models combine a teardrop shape with MLD Black EVA and a medium-hard feel. The Lite weighs 350–360 grams and uses 12K Carbon. The XTREM weighs 360–375 grams and features the stiffer 12K XTREM Carbon.
The Lite therefore places greater emphasis on manoeuvrability and quick reactions. The XTREM is an interesting option for players looking for more mass behind the ball and a particularly firm hitting surface.
