Dunlop Hyperfibre+ Revelation 125

Last updated—

The Dunlop Hyperfibre+ Revelation 125. This is coming out in 2017 from Dunlop as part of the Dunlop Hyperfibre range. It seems to be the updated design for the Dunlop Force Revelation 125.

Update: this is being replaced in 2019 by the Dunlop Hyperfibre XT Revelation 125

Here’s my video review:

And here’s the racket:

    There may be a new version of this racket. Tayebs one here is looking more white down the bottom of the frame than usual??

      Yes! This is about the time Dunlop would update the Revelation rackets, since they came out two years ago. We’ll see if they have a new name or just a new cosmetic.

    Just bought this 2 months ago. Played 8 times or so and it snapped at the handle. Never had this happen with any racquet and there is no frame or bumper damage.

    If you hit hard, may want to try something else for $180

      Sorry to hear that Brent. With that kind of break at the handle I think it’s worth contacting Dunlop to see if they’ll replace it

        I contacted Amazon seller and they are contacting Dunlop with a picture. In meantime bought the new Evolution Pro + whatever. Based on your review it seems a bit stiffer than Revelation but still really head light???

        Right?

          I just got it in. Seems pretty headlight and almost but not quite the ultra headlight of the Revelation.

          In looking at Evolution frame it is slightly more rounded at the head that probably gives added stiffness but perhaps a bit more drag.

          I really liked the ultra headlight feel of Revelation, but think the evolution will be the sweet spot between it and Carboflex

    From her Instagram, looks like Nour El Tayeb has switched from Head to this racket

    Gohar looks to be back to the tecnifibre 130s at windy city. I can’t see if she has the Dunlop stencil on her racket? Has she lost sponsorship with Dunlop already? She wasn’t part of the team Dunlop instagram post at the beginning of windy city.

    Sorry, Pierre for being that person that spams the comments but another but of interesting info. It looks like Gohar does not like this racket. If I’m not mistaken, she has gone back to the tecnifibre in these photos but just stencilled Dunlop onto the strings?? (Dunlop briefly posted photos of her with the tecnifibre but removed them presumably because they didn’t want to promote a rival?)

    Photos 3, 6 and 8 on Nour El-Sherbini’s Instagram here show this? Am I wrong?

      Haha you can leave as many comments as you see fit, Lloyd. You’re right it does look like she’s gone back to her old Tecnifibre 130 S

    I play tested this and the new Evo 130.

    The new 130 felt heavy, I think it is heavier than the model it is replacing.

    The 125 was amazing, light, powerful and virtually vibration-free! My club mates who tried it said it feels out of this world, they couldn’t believe a racket could have all these three properties!

    Anybody looking to buy a racket, do give this a try first!
