RS Sports Rialto
Rialto is the RS family built around Cayetano Rocafort, and it is the brand's most competitive line: the Pro Caye build is the frame developed with him, and RS describes it as one of its biggest product successes. It sits above the club-oriented part of the range and beside the Prime ladder rather than inside it.
The builds are Pro, Pro Light and the Pro Caye signature. Listings carry a 3.0 alongside those words, which is the generation rather than a level — a Rialto Pro 3.0 is the third revision of the Pro build, not a rung above a Pro 2.0.

Questions about the RS Sports Rialto
What does the 3.0 on a Rialto mean?
It is the generation, not the level. RS revises the family and increments the number, so a Rialto Pro 3.0 is the third version of the Pro build rather than a step above a Pro 2.0. The build word — Pro, Pro Light, Pro Caye — is what tells you where a racket sits; the number tells you how recent it is.
Which Rialto is the signature racket?
The Pro Caye, developed with Cayetano Rocafort. RS describes it as one of the market successes that established the brand in padel, and it is the frame the family is built around. The Pro and Pro Light are the versions of that idea for players who want the line without the full signature specification.
Rialto or Prime?
Rialto if you want the brand's competitive line and are comfortable with a frame built around a professional's preferences; Prime if you want to pick a level precisely from a wider ladder. The two families sit beside each other rather than one above the other, and Prime covers considerably more of the range.
