Mantis CS 275 'Challenge'

The Mantis CS 275 — the lightest, most comfortable racket Mantis has ever produced.

This full-length 27-inch racket is perfectly suited to both ambitious juniors and new adult players looking to take their tennis more seriously, as well as experienced players looking for a light, fast, high-performance frame. Its modern construction delivers effortless acceleration and excellent manoeuvrability, helping players generate confident power and spin with a smooth, controlled swing.

A forgiving 100 sq in head provides a generous sweet spot for consistent ball striking and easy depth, while the lightweight balance ensures quick handling from the baseline through to the net.

Available in two cosmetic finishes, giving players a choice of style while delivering the same lightweight feel, comfort, and performance in both designs, the CS 275 is a racket that builds confidence, encourages progression, and allows players of all ages to play freely as their game develops.

Key features:

• Larger sweet spot for confidence and consistency
  The 100 sq in head size delivers a forgiving strike zone, helping players maintain control and precision even when contact isn’t perfect.
• Ultra-light 275g frame for effortless performance
  The lightest racket Mantis has ever produced, the CS 275 offers outstanding manoeuvrability and acceleration while retaining the stability and control expected from a performance frame.
• Tapered beam for easy spin and shot shaping
  Designed to support modern topspin, the CS 275 makes it easier to generate spin and control trajectory without extra effort.
• Clean feedback with arm-friendly comfort
  Refined frame geometry provides clear, responsive feedback at impact, promoting confidence and comfort through every rally.
• Premium Mantis design, more accessible than ever
  Finished in a clean satin aesthetic inspired by our higher-end frames, the CS 275 delivers Mantis performance and quality at the most accessible price point in the range.

Every Mantis racket features THERMOCORE FUSION™ and PRECISIONCRAFT™ construction to deliver unmatched consistency and feel.

THERMOCORE FUSION™ ensures a seamless carbon-resin bond for enhanced stability, reduced vibration, and uniform performance. Combined with hand-crafted PRECISIONCRAFT™ lay-ups, each racket is built to exacting standards—offering precise control, durability, and elite-level reliability in every swing.

THERMOCORE FUSION™

An advanced resin-infusion process designed to enhance structural uniformity and performance consistency throughout the racquet frame. By subjecting a proprietary resin system to extreme thermal conditions—surpassing 200°C—the resin is brought to a true fusion state during the layup phase of production.

This high-temperature activation enables carbon fibres and resin to bond with exceptional uniformity, significantly reducing microscopic voids and inconsistencies typically found in conventional racquet manufacturing. The result is a near-seamless composite structure.

Key Performance Benefits:

• Frame-to-Frame Consistency
  The ultra-even resin distribution leads to tighter production tolerances—meaning every racquet delivers reliably similar specs and feel.

• Enhanced Torsional Stability
  With reduced internal variances, the frame responds with greater predictability, especially during off-centre impacts.

• Solid, Dampened Feel
  ThermoCore Fusion™ minimizes unwanted vibration by producing a tighter matrix of carbon and resin—translating to a more muted, comfortable contact point.

• Improved Structural Integrity
  A racquet crafted using ThermoCore Fusion™ is inherently more robust, with fewer internal stress points that could compromise durability over time.

• Consistency = Confidence
  Whether in practice or under pressure, every swing benefits from a reassuringly uniform feel, empowering players with more control and comfort on every shot.
  

PRECISIONCRAFT™ CONSTRUCTION

Every Mantis racquet undergoes a meticulously controlled hand-crafted lay-up process, where precision and consistency are paramount. The carbon fibre sheets—engineered to strict specifications—are strategically aligned by hand to control stiffness, flex, and torsional stability in each frame. This artisan approach allows for exact fibre orientation, ensuring the racquet’s mechanical properties are precisely tailored to performance expectations. Unlike mass-automated production lines, the manual lay-up guarantees alignment integrity and minimises material distortion or fibre misplacement.

• Multi-directional carbon fibre placement for optimal strength-to-weight ratio

• Manual tension checks at critical stress zones (e.g., throat, hoop)

• Each lay-up individually inspected for fibre integrity and uniformity

Following the structural assembly, each frame enters a refined finishing and cosmetic application phase, where attention to detail distinguishes Mantis racquets. Surface preparation is handled with extreme care to preserve aerodynamic shaping while ensuring flawless paint adherence. Finishing specialists apply cosmetics using custom templates and controlled layering techniques, delivering both performance coatings and aesthetic precision.

• Ultra-fine sanding and smoothing for aerodynamic integrity

• Controlled paint layering to maintain balance and feel

• Cosmetic decals hand-aligned to within ±0.25mm tolerance

This hands-on approach at every stage—from core structure to final finish—ensures that every Mantis racquet upholds elite performance standards, with zero compromise on quality or individuality.
