Lok Carb-on Hype Gen 2 2026 FDB scores 82/100 against 72/100 for the Starvie Exodus Black. Its biggest edge is power (+13). The Starvie Exodus Black answers back on sweet spot (+4). On price, the Starvie Exodus Black is currently €15 cheaper.
“The Lok Carb-on Hype Gen 2 comes from a brand with very limited market presence and virtually no established reputation in the competitive padel ecosystem, making it difficult to verify performance claims like 'FDB' technology or the 2026 model year designation. What little is known suggests a mid-diamond shape with carbon layering that prioritizes power over finesse, but the execution feels inconsistent and the spec transparency is poor for the price point. Intermediate players seeking a power-oriented diamond racket would be better served by established brands like Bullpadel, Head, or NOX at similar or lower price points.”
“The Exodus Black is StarVie's heavyweight budget frame: 385 g, head-light, with a Soft EVA core and a genuine 15K face, scoring a moderate 72/66 split with fair terms (comfort 68, tolerance 68). Maneuverability 68 carries the mass warning as usual. Value 72 holds the craft premium. The 15K face at this price is the genuine draw; the weight is the genuine filter. For sturdy improvers who want handmade construction and a premium face on a budget, it earns the demo; lighter arms should visit the Arkos instead.”
