Ride VXN vs Burton Stiletto

[Chances are this should be in the Pro Shop Forum =X sorryy]


I tend to buy my gear at the end of the season cause it's so much cheaper and I could care less if its a year old. I've been looking for bindings lately. I went to Eastern Boarder and all they had were size small in the Ride VXN. The guy called and no other EB had them either =/ But I found them online in my size. EB does have the Burtons on their website, for a pretty good price. I have a Ride Fever for next year, if that makes a difference.

But which would be a better binding? I ride park, so I need something sturdy. And are there any other bindings you might suggest?

The Stilettos are more of a beginner binding, on the Burton scale, Burton has one of the best costumer service dept so you would have a better chance if something happened to them. My friend has a pair and does mostly free mountain with some park and hasn't had a problem, I'm not sure what the Rides are so my opinion wouldn't help u there. Hope I helped!

Ride has good customer service also. Between the two, I would go with the VXn over the Stilletos. In my opinion, they're a more durable and solid binding.

Ahh, do not buy the stilettos. I had them for 3 years (don't take this in the way that they were durable..I just could not afford new bindings) and by the time I was done with them they were practically duct taped together. Definitely go with the Ride VXN. Stuff on my stilettos was always falling apart.

I know this is old....

I bought lexas my first season, so roughly 3 years ago, and they have held up until now. They still are in perfect working condition, Ive just upgraded.

I posted before about Ride Vxn's and how I had no probs... well end of season they started screwing up and getting stuck when I had to release the binding strap. I went and bought some Ride Sigma Mvmnt's and they were awesome for a while. then the freaking screws started falling out and it was hard to find replacements, when I did I used thread lock to keep them in place. well, I got fed up with those and moved on to Burton Escapades which I totally love, very smooth releasing the straps. well we'll see how long they hold up.
