Hi everyone,

I recently bought a Babolat Air Viper 2.6 2026 on Vinted and I’m trying to understand if it’s authentic.

The racket looks convincing overall, and the visible codes seem to match the official model:

• Product code: 150176 M00
• SKU: 228312
• EAN: 3324922283127
• Specs: 355 g ±10 g, 38 mm, 16K Carbon, X-EVA, 3D Spin+, Smart Buttcap

The main detail that made me suspicious is that it came with a Babolat cover, while the official specs seem to say that this model comes without a cover.

I know fake Babolat rackets exist for older models, but I haven’t found much about fake Air Viper 2.6 / 2026 rackets yet.

Has anyone seen confirmed fakes of this exact 2026 model?
Are there any specific details I should check?

I’ve already contacted Babolat and I’m waiting for their reply.

Thanks!
