About the Babolat Air Viper 2025

The Air Viper 2025 is Babolat's most agile and maneuverable advanced racket — the lightest frame in the Viper range, built entirely around speed. With a new mould, updated balance at 265mm, and a 16K carbon face, it was designed for players who move explosively, intercept fast at the net, and rely on quick swing speed to generate power rather than brute force. At 355g it feels almost effortless in the hand — the kind of racket where faster hands equal more decisive shots.

Designed for speed, aggression and net dominance

The Air Viper 2025 rewards players who take the initiative. Its diamond shape pushes the sweet spot high in the head for explosive smashes and net finishes. The enlarged sweet spot compared to previous Viper models provides more forgiveness on off-centre contacts — you don't need perfect ball-striking to get powerful output. The X-EVA three-layer core gives you explosive response on hard swings and a more forgiving, comfortable feel on defensive contacts. If your game is built on speed, net presence, and finishing points quickly, this racket was made for you.

Babolat technologies

• 16K Carbon face — high-density 16K carbon fibre delivers maximum stiffness, explosive responsiveness, and outstanding power and precision on every strike.
• X-EVA triple-layer core — two stiffer outer foam layers generate explosive ball response; the softer inner layer provides comfort and forgiveness on defensive and off-centre contacts. Versatile across all shot types.
• Vibrabsorb System 2 (SMAC) — elastomers integrated into the carbon fibres reduce vibration on impact, protecting your arm and keeping you comfortable through full-match play.
• 3D Spin+ — raised surface texture with rough matte finish adds spin and grip on smashes, slice lobs, and topspin drives.
• Holes Pattern System — optimised hole distribution tuned to the diamond shape for maximum power transfer and precision on returns.
• Smart Buttcap — customise or remove the wrist strap for hygiene and personal preference.
