The Dunlop FX 500 LITE (V26) is the lightest performance model in the FX series. It is specifically engineered for players who prioritize maximum maneuverability and ease of use without sacrificing the "explosive power" that defines the FX line.
As part of the 2026 Blue/Black V26 collection, it features the most advanced vibration-dampening materials to ensure that a lighter frame doesn't translate to a "harsh" feel.
Key Performance Profile
- Fast Swing Speed: At only 270g, this racket is incredibly easy to whip through the air. This helps players generate high head speed, which is essential for creating power and spin if you don't have a long, fast swing naturally.
- Ultimate Comfort: Because lighter rackets can sometimes feel "buzzy," Dunlop has packed this model with Sonic Core made with Infinergy®, which absorbs shock and helps the racket feel more stable than its weight suggests.
- Beginner to Intermediate Bridge: It serves as a perfect "level-up" racket for ambitious beginners or a high-performance frame for intermediate players who want to avoid arm strain.
Specialized Technologies
- Power Boost + Groove: This technology increases the sweet spot size toward the top of the racket, providing more forgiveness and "spring" on every shot.
- Power Grid String Tech: The string spacing is wider in the center to create more power and wider at the top to offer more control and spin potential.
- Aerodynamic Frame: The sleek Blue/Black V26 beam design cuts through the air with minimal resistance, making it an excellent choice for quick exchanges at the net.
Who is the FX 500 LITE for?
This model is the "featherweight champion" of the line, ideal for:
- Rising Juniors: Players moving into their first adult-sized performance frame who find the 285g (LS) or 300g (Standard) models too heavy.
- Seniors/Recreational Players: Those who want a premium, high-tech racket that is easy on the shoulder and elbow.
- Intermediate Women: Players looking for a lightweight, powerful frame that allows for quick reactions during doubles play.
