Dunlop Nanomax
Nanomax is one of Dunlop's smaller padel families, carried across the 2025 and 2026 seasons in two builds: Pro and Lite. That pairing is the family's whole structure — a fuller frame and a lighter one, with no third rung between them.
It sits alongside the Megamax as one of the brand's secondary names, below the attention the FX ladder and the Galactica family get. Several Nanomax listings carry a colour in the name, which is a finish rather than a build.

Questions about the Dunlop Nanomax
Nanomax Pro or Lite?
The Pro is the fuller frame and the Lite the lighter one; there is no third build to consider. Take the Lite if you find a full-weight racket slow to bring round, particularly at the net, and the Pro if you want more mass behind the ball. The family is small enough that this is the whole decision.
Where does Nanomax sit in Dunlop's range?
Beside the Megamax as a secondary family, below the FX ladder and the Galactica in prominence. Dunlop's padel catalogue is organised by playing intention rather than as a single ladder, so a smaller family is not a lower one — it simply covers less ground and gets less of the brand's attention.
Do the colours in a Nanomax name mean anything?
No — they are finishes. Dunlop sells several of its padel frames in named colourways, and a colour in a listing describes the paint rather than a different build. Compare the build word (Pro or Lite) first and treat the colour as a variant of it.
