Babolat Air Viper 2.6 2026 padel racket

The racket that adapts to your game

Discover the Babolat Air Viper 2.6 2026, a racket designed for explosive players looking to bring speed and precision to every point.

Its 16K carbon construction provides high rigidity and incredible energy return, ensuring powerful and ultra-precise strikes. This premium fibre also delivers excellent stability to keep control.

At the core of the racket, the X EVA core combines three layers of EVA foam with different densities. The firmer outer layers enhance explosiveness on hard strikes, while the softer central layer improves forgiveness and comfort on more controlled shots.

The Holes Pattern System (HPS) technology optimises hole layout and size to improve energy transfer and strike precision. Thanks to the 3D Spin+ technology featuring a rough finish, the Air Viper 2.6 2026 easily generates more spin.

The Vibrasorb System², an upgraded version of Babolat's anti-vibration system, extends to the handle to effectively filter shocks. It reduces vibrations felt at impact, improves playing comfort, and preserves sensations, even during the most intense rallies.

Finally, the Smart Butt Cap with its detachable wrist strap adds a practical, hygienic touch while allowing you to customise your racket to your preferences.
