BENEFITS

MANEUVERABILITY

The Air Viper is extremely maneuverable due to its lightweight and aerodynamic design, for fast, precise and fluid movements on the court.

HIGH RESPONSIVENESS

Thanks to its 16K carbon and X-EVA rubber construction, this racquet will provide great responsiveness with maximum power.

COMFORT

Padel is first and foremost a game that you should be able to play without any worries. We know that a stiff racquet can cause discomfort in the arms of some players. Therefore, our R&D team has worked to reduce the risk of injury. The new VIBRABSORB SYSTEM² technology, Powered by SMAC, provides optimal vibration dampening thanks to a combination of elastomers integrated into the carbon fibers at the core and the handle of the racket.

16K CARBON

Woven carbon fiber used on the surface of the racquet to give you maximum explosiveness and precision. The number denotes slight rigidity differences: 3K>12K>16K.

SMART BUTTCAP

A versatile system that allows players to customize strap size or completely remove the wrist strap.

VIBRABSORB SYSTEM²

Powered by SMAC technology, this system allows optimal vibration absorption thanks to a combination of elastomers integrated into the carbon fibers at the heart of the racquet. It also includes FOAM in the core of the racquet and/or elastomers in the handle providing optimal shock absorption.

3D SPIN+

Raised patterns on the racquet surface combined with a rough finishing allows you to hit with more spin and increases your control.

Holes Pattern System (HPS)

Optimized distribution and size of holes specific to each racquet shape optimizes power transmission and increases precision when returning shots.

X-EVA

Sandwich construction of the core with three different EVA layers adapted to each racquet increases explosiveness on strong shots thanks to the two stiffer exterior layers, while providing more forgiveness and comfort from the flexible inside layer on softer shots.
