Ride bindings - men’s equivalent of the VXN model?

Avatar

Just wondering if anyone who has supreme knowledge of the Ride bindings models might know what the men’s equivalent of the ladies VXN model might be?

Nthn? SamNZ maybe?

Ride VXN were my first bindings, I got them as part of a package & they were really, really good. I have a beginner mate who is putting a set-up together and would like to recommend him whatever the man version of the VXN is, as they served me so well.

Any ideas?

awesome, thanks humdinga!

 

Yeah it’s the EX. Why are you looking at them though? I would suggest looking at the Revolt before committing to either the EX or LX. And if there was a bit of money in the budget, then look at the better ones like the Capo which have a better heelcup.

pretty big jump in price tag from Ex to capo
do agree…revolt is good medium

dont make the same rookie mistake i did….buying beginner gear then having to replace the following season downer

as I said…my VXN pair lasted me from 2007-2009 including one full season of riding and bits and pieces of other seasons & I absolutely loved them. I’ve found some EX’s at a good price, but will look into the revolt and see what price they are going for if you reckon they are heaps better. If they aren’t too much more expensive then I will recommend he get them instead.
