Description
About this racket: The Babolat Air Viper 2024 is a diamond-shaped power racket from Babolat's Viper line. This unit is pre-owned, see the condition details below.
The Air Viper 2024 is the speed-focused weapon in Babolat's 2024 Viper range, lighter and more maneuverable than its Technical and Counter siblings, built around a unique hybrid shape that sits between teardrop and diamond. This shape gives the Air Viper 2024 a versatility the 2025 full-diamond version traded away: more sweet spot coverage than a pure diamond, more power potential than a pure round, and the ability to adapt across court positions without sacrificing the explosive ball output advanced players need. The 16K carbon face and X-EVA triple-density core work together to deliver crisp, direct, powerful responses on attacking shots while remaining more forgiving and comfortable than a full-power diamond frame.
The Air Viper 2024 is for the player who wins through movement and positioning rather than raw mass. Its hybrid shape keeps the sweet spot accessible across different contact points, whether you're stepping in for a volley, stretching for a lateral defence, or loading up for an overhead. The 16K carbon face delivers explosive power on clean contacts and crisp, direct feedback on every shot. The X-EVA core provides a medium-hard feel that rewards confident, purposeful hitting without punishing off-centre contacts the way a harder core would. Fast players who want explosive power without the extremity of a head-heavy diamond will find the Air Viper 2024 one of the most intuitive advanced rackets Babolat has produced.
The 2024 and 2025 Air Viper share the same Babolat DNA but differ in shape and character. The 2024 uses a hybrid shape, more versatile, more forgiving, accessible across more court positions. The 2025 moved to a full diamond shape for more concentrated power and a higher sweet spot. The 2024 is the better choice for players who want all-court adaptability and a more forgiving advanced racket. The 2025 is better for players committed to pure attacking overhead play. If you're considering the 2025 pre-owned instead, see our Pre-Owned Babolat Air Viper 2025 listing.
Technology
16K Carbon facea woven 16K carbon fibre hitting surface delivering maximum explosiveness, stiffness, and precision on every contact. Provides the crisp, powerful response expected from an advanced attacking racket.
X-EVA triple-density corea sandwich core construction using three different EVA foam layers: two stiffer outer layers that generate explosive ball output on powerful shots, and a softer inner layer that provides tolerance and comfort on slower, defensive, and off-centre contacts. Versatile across the full range of shots a match demands.
Vibrabsorb System 2 (Powered by SMAC)elastomers integrated into the carbon fibres at both the core and handle levels absorb and dampen vibration on every contact. Reduces shock transmitted to the wrist and arm, protecting against fatigue and injury across intensive sessions.
3D Spin+surface reliefs combined with a rough matte finish that increases ball grip, allowing more spin to be generated on lobs, slice shots, and topspin drives without extra swing effort.
Holes Pattern Systemhole distribution and sizing optimised specifically for the hybrid shape to maximise power transmission and improve precision on returns.
Smart Buttcapa customisable safety cord system that allows the wrist strap to be changed for improved hygiene, comfort, and personalisation.
