Tecnifibre Tempo Tour 2026 (285g) Tennis Racket

The Tempo Tour 2026, the top of the range at 285 g

The Tecnifibre Tempo Tour 2026 is the heaviest model in the Tempo range at 285 g, placing it in the medium-heavy category. It comes strung, with a 660 cm² head and a 16x19 string pattern, on a carbon composite frame. White and blue, in L1 and L2 grip sizes.

What the 285 g actually deliver

The Tour shares the head size, string pattern and material of the Tempo L and Tempo Team. The whole range is separated by weight alone: 255, 270 then 285 g. What those grams add is not free power but stability. Against an opponent who hits hard, a heavier frame twists less in the hand and gets pushed back less at impact, which makes returns and defensive balls markedly more reliable. It is an advantage that shows up in a tight match, not in relaxed practice.

The specifications

• 285 g unstrung: the medium-heavy category, between 280 and 299 g.
• 660 cm² head: a generous face, keeping forgiveness despite the performance focus.
• 16x19 string pattern: the versatile reference layout, letting spin through without sacrificing control.
• Carbon composite frame: the responsiveness and precision of feel expected at this level.
• Supplied strung: ready to play on arrival.
• Two grip sizes: L1 and L2.

The Extreme Tennis team's take

The deciding factor across the Tempo range is not the stated level but the opponent you face. If you mostly play practice or social doubles, the 270 g Team will do and will handle more easily. The Tour takes over as soon as the ball comes fast and heavy: that is where the extra 15 g turn into reliability. Conversely, if you have had elbow or shoulder trouble, do not size up on principle: the 255 g Tempo L remains the sensible choice, with the option of adding a little weight later if the need is confirmed.
