The Siux Pegasus Pro 2026 is a hard teardrop racket for the advanced player who likes to finish the point themselves. It combines the manoeuvrability of a teardrop with a medium balance and a firm, direct face. It is harder than Franco Stupaczuk's Electra Pro, but lacks the heavy head of Leo Augsburger's diamond-shaped Fenix Pro.
We test the rackets in our range ourselves on court, so we know how they feel in the hand. In this review you will read what sets the Pegasus Pro apart from the other Siux rackets of 2026, who it is for and what to look out for before you buy it.
The Siux Pegasus Pro 2026 at a glance
Siux Pegasus Pro Lava Orange 2026
Teardrop shape, medium balance, 355–375 grams and a 12K carbon face with a hard EVA core. Siux builds it as an attacking racket and gives it a hardness of 9 out of 10. The face has a satin finish with a rough 3D texture, making it easier to put spin on the ball.
The most important thing to know: this is a hard racket. When you accelerate yourself, the ball comes off the face crisp and controlled. On a slow ball it does less work for you than a softer racket. The Pegasus Pro comes in Lava Orange and Storm Grey, with exactly the same construction. We sell the Lava Orange.

Its 2025 predecessor is the Pegasus 3. For 2026 the Pegasus Pro got a new mould, a new rough surface and a harder feel: the Pegasus 3 was still medium-hard. If you want the same shape with a softer, more comfortable face, there is the Pegasus Elite 2026: the same mould, but with 3K carbon.
Álex Chozas and the Pegasus
The Pegasus Pro is the racket of Álex Chozas, a left-handed Argentinian born in 2003 who plays on the Premier Padel circuit. Siux even releases its own Pegasus x Alex Chozas shirt alongside the racket. Chozas is part of Team Siux, together with Franco Stupaczuk, Leo Augsburger and Sofía Araújo.
This gives every Siux Pro racket its own face: Augsburger plays the Fenix Pro, Stupaczuk the Electra Pro, Tino Libaak the Diablo Pro and Chozas the Pegasus Pro. The Pegasus is the racket for those who want to keep the pace high and like to finish points themselves.
Feel on court
At the net. Thanks to the teardrop shape and the medium balance, the Pegasus Pro is quick in the hand. The hard face gives a direct feel: you notice exactly where you hit the ball. When a hard ball comes at your volley, the face stays firm, so you can block and place well.
Smash and overhead shots. This is where you get the most out of this racket. The face gives little, so the ball comes back crisp when you follow through properly. With the rough texture you can also add spin. You do have to generate the speed yourself: the racket does little of the work for you.
At the back of the court. With the Pegasus Pro, power, control and hardness sit close together, with the emphasis on hard. Compared with the Electra Pro and the Diablo Pro, it is stiffer and less forgiving when you don't hit the ball cleanly. A long lob from the back therefore takes a little more arm than with those two. Hit the ball well, and it stays predictable.
How hard is it? Within the Siux Pro line it sits on the hard side: only the diamond-shaped Fenix Pro is harder. The Electra Pro is slightly softer, the Diablo Pro clearly softer.

Who is this racket suitable for?
BUY IT IF
- You are an advanced player who likes to attack.
- You like a hard, direct feel on the ball.

- You generate speed yourself with a good swing.

The alternatives
All three are 2026 Siux rackets that we currently have in stock. The difference lies in the shape and the hardness of the face, and in how you play.
Siux Electra Pro 2026
Franco Stupaczuk's racket. Also a teardrop with a medium balance and 12K carbon, but with a hardness of 8 out of 10 and a sand-rough surface. It is slightly less hard than the Pegasus Pro and more all-round. Choose this one if you want the same shape, but a little more feel and forgiveness on your shots.

Siux Diablo Pro 2026
Tino Libaak's racket. A teardrop with a medium balance and a hardness of 7 out of 10: clearly softer than the Pegasus Pro. Siux builds it as an all-rounder, with the emphasis on control. Choose this one if you play a lot from the back, like to build the point and are looking for a face that gives more.

Siux Fenix Pro Black 2026
Leo Augsburger's racket. A diamond with more weight in the head and the hardest face in the Pro line. Choose this one if you mainly play at the net and want as much power as possible in your smash, and accept the less manoeuvrable head.
