Combined with improved stability, the Air Viper delivers a confident and consistent response during high-intensity exchanges, making it an ideal choice for players who want to dominate both the air game and the net.

Features & Technologies

• 16K CARBON + X-EVA: The Babolat Air Viper is engineered to maximize shot speed and power through an immediate, highly responsive feel. Designed for dynamic players, its lightweight and agile construction enables rapid racquet movement, allowing you to capitalize on every opportunity and maintain an aggressive rhythm throughout the point. Featuring 16K Carbon construction and X-EVA Technology, the Air Viper efficiently converts swing energy into explosive impact. This combination delivers powerful and precise shots while maintaining a smooth response during fast-paced exchanges, making it ideal for players who want to turn speed into offensive power and apply constant pressure at the net.

• VIBRABSORB SYSTEM: Powered by SMAC Technology, the Vibrabsorb System² is engineered to optimize vibration absorption through a specialized combination of elastomers integrated into the carbon fibers within the heart of the racquet. This advanced construction helps reduce unwanted vibrations generated at impact, delivering a smoother and more comfortable feel during play. The system is further enhanced with FOAM integrated into the racquet core and/or elastomers positioned in the handle for improved shock absorption. By minimizing the transmission of impact forces, Vibrabsorb System² enhances playing comfort and provides a more controlled, stable, and enjoyable response throughout intense rallies.

• 3D SPIN PLUS: 3D Spin+ technology combines raised patterns on the racquet surface with a specially engineered rough finish to enhance ball grip at impact. This textured construction increases friction between the racquet and ball, allowing players to generate greater spin while maintaining a more responsive and controlled feel. Designed for advanced and competitive play, the technology helps players execute heavier topspin, sharper slice, and more controlled spin-based shots with greater confidence. The enhanced surface interaction provides improved precision and control, adding versatility to both attacking and defensive play.

• SMART BUTTCAP: The Smart Buttcap features a versatile strap system that allows players to easily adjust the wrist strap according to their preferred fit and playing style. This customizable design provides greater flexibility and ensures a comfortable, secure feel during play. For added convenience, the wrist strap can also be completely removed whenever desired. This adaptable construction gives players the freedom to personalize their racquet setup while maintaining a clean, comfortable, and performance-focused feel on the court.
