Does anyone know when @Babolat Official plan to release the new 18/20 Strike in the UK/Europe?

In short, we made the beam wider at 3,9, 12 o'clock and in the throat to give the racket improved stability. The string pattern has been updated with FSI Power, meaning the crosses are now wider for improved power. X - sider technology has been removed from the racket.
The 18x20 is (unstrung) 305 grams, 320 mm balance, and 98 sq in.

Has Thiem switched yet? In pictures from earlier in the year the x-sider technology was still visible on his frames.
@Babolat Official Can you confirm any limited edition or different paintjobs being released for the new strikes? Many of us still love the black and red look of the 2014 model!

So this one is the same as the 16x19 Pure Strike that was recently released (solid frame) but just the 18x20 pattern, correct? No other technological changes.

@Babolat Official Since we are coming closer to January 2017, when do you think we can expect these racquets to hit the market? I just can't wait for these to come out!
