[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Siux Fenix Elite 5 is a diamond-shaped, high-balance racket for advanced attackers, listed at 360 to 375 g. It pairs a Hard EVA core with 12K carbon, which on the listed specs is stiffer than the 2026 listing. On paper it is built for power, and comfort is rated low. No reviews exist yet, so this rests on specs alone. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 16 October 2026 Choose it if - you are an advanced player who wants power and prefers the harder core and 12K face of the 2025 sheet - you already handle a heavy, head-heavy diamond and want a firmer spec set than the 2026 listing - you want the 2025 Elite sheet and prefer a rough surface over the sanded matte finish of the 2026 listing Skip it if - you want forgiveness and a wide sweet spot, since the Siux Spyder Lite 3 Hard shows the same low comfort and low sweet spot meters - you are still building your technique, since the listed hard core and heavy weight both point to low comfort - you want a newer version of the line, such as the Siux Fenix Elite 2026 with its 3K carbon face and plain EVA core ## How it plays 7.6 **padell.io score 7.6** Play 8.2 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%). No independent reviews found yet, so that part starts low.

Three listed specs differ. The core goes from Hard EVA to EVA. The face goes from 12K carbon to 3K carbon. The surface goes from rough to a sanded matte finish. Shape, high balance, advanced level and the 360 to 375 g weight range are the same. Frame and thickness are unknown for the Elite 5, so a full comparison is not possible. The [Siux Fenix Elite 6](https://padell.io/rackets/siux/fenix-elite-6/) is also a 2026 entry in the line. It lists EVA, 3K carbon and a 355 to 375 g weight range. Look at the 2026 listings if you want a newer version. Look at this one if the harder core and 12K face are what you are after. ## Price history Today **€ 124.95** Lowest in 30 days **€ 124.95** vs 30-day average **0%** Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night. Three listed specs separate the 2025 Fenix Elite 5 from the 2026 listing that follows it: the core, the face and the surface. This one keeps the harder pair, a Hard EVA core under 12K carbon, and that choice decides who it suits. No review of this racket has been found yet. Everything below comes from the listed specs, so read it as what the sheet suggests, not as court testing. ## Hard EVA and 12K carbon: what the older Elite kept that the 2026 dropped The Elite 5 lists a Hard EVA core and a 12K carbon face. The [Siux Fenix Elite 2026](https://padell.io/rackets/siux/fenix-elite-2026/) shows plain EVA and 3K carbon. Shape (diamond), balance (high), level (advanced) and weight (360 to 375 g) stay the same. What does that mean for you? A harder core usually gives a firmer, more direct response. The specs suggest the Elite 5 is the stiffer of the two. You get that firmness on every hit, including the ones that miss the centre. That is the catch. ## Rough or sanded matte: what a changed surface label can and cannot mean The Elite 5 is listed with a rough surface. The 2026 listing has a sanded matte finish. That is a different label. It does not tell you how much the grip on the ball changed, and no measurement says it did. The product page claims the roughness enhances spin. That is a brand claim. Treat it as such, and do not buy this racket only for spin you cannot verify. ## Power without losing control, says Siux: where the page and the meters part The product page says the racket gives power without losing control. It also claims a high sweet spot, and that the weight gives stability without sacrificing maneuverability. These are the brand's words. The specs point elsewhere. A [diamond shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/), a hard core and a high balance all lower control. The hard core and diamond shape also lower the sweet spot, and the weight, shape and balance lower maneuverability. So expect power first and a narrow margin for error. That is not a flaw if you know it going in. The racket is listed for advanced players, and the specs match that listing. ## Elite 5 or Spyder Lite 3 Hard: two sheets that barely differ The [Siux Spyder Lite 3 Hard](https://padell.io/rackets/siux/spyder-lite-3-hard/) lists the same core, face, shape, balance and level. Its [weight range](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/) is 355 to 375 g, against 360 to 375 g here. Its meters read the same: high power, low in the other four. On paper you are choosing between two close relatives. The [Fenix Pro 5](https://padell.io/rackets/siux/fenix-pro-5-2025/) 2025 is another close sibling, with a 24K carbon face. It also has a Hard EVA core, and its meters read the same. ## Advanced at up to 375 g: what a heavy high-balance diamond asks of your arm The weight range tops out at 375 g. With a high balance, the mass sits toward the head. That helps a swing carry weight through the ball. It may also tire your arm in long matches, and the hard core adds to that, since comfort is rated low. That is a reading of the specs, not a test result. If you are not used to a heavy, head-heavy racket, build up your playing time slowly. ## Not published: balance in mm, head size, thickness, frame, handle Several specs are not published for this racket: balance in mm, head size, thickness, frame material, handle and weight system. The high balance is a label, not a measurement. Without thickness and head size you cannot judge the exact feel or the size of the hitting area. Check these in the shop or with the brand before you commit.

The year is part of the name used by shops. **What changed in the 2026 Fenix Elite?** The listed core goes from Hard EVA to EVA, the face from 12K to 3K carbon, and the surface from rough to a sanded matte finish.

No review confirms this, so treat it as what the specs suggest. **Is the Fenix Elite 5 worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Good value" compared with the rackets that play most alike.

[Compare side by side →](https://padell.io/compare/siux-spyder-lite-3-hard-vs-siux-fenix-elite-5/) **Who should not buy it?** Skip it if you rely on placement and long rallies (control 3.5/10), or if your elbow or shoulder complains (comfort 2.5/10), or if you are still learning: it is not very forgiving (3.0/10). **How heavy is it really?** The brand gives 360 to 375 g. That counts as medium. Each racket can differ within that range. [Why a range? →](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/)
