Should I get the RonixFrankBoots2012 or the RonixOne2011

[thecoyone]

Hey guys I've been riding cable for almost a year now here in the Philippines and I wanna upgrade my bindings (Hyperlite sprint 2009) to either the Ronix frank boots 2012 399$ or the Ronix One 2011 for 322$.

I wear 8.5 US in my rubber shoes

If I get Ronix One 2011 should I get size 8 or size 9?
(The Ronix Frank boot has size 8-9 so I think I wouldnt have a problem with the size)

What do you think should I get?

Thanks in advance!

The 2012 Franks are really colorful. They actually look great in person. I really like the coloring on them.

I would suggest that you try on the bindings for fit. The flex on the frank and one bindings are similar. The frank being a little more flex than the one bindings.

I wear a 11 in the one bindings and I normally wear a 10.5 shoe. I am a little more on the 10.5 to 11 for shoe size.

Hey Ed or anyone else with direct knowledge, I've ridden the 10 and 11 one boots my buds have and loved em. I've got a ss Hooke and need new boots for next year and the deal on 11 franks at boardstop peaks my interest. Are the franks as comfy and easy to put on/off as the ones? Weight? Basically should i just get ones or are the franks pretty similar? Also the black and green would look sick on my board..

FWIW - I tried on some Franks (but didn't ride), and ended up buying some Ones a few weeks later, both size 10. In a dry try-on, both were excellent, and I couldn't tell a difference between the two. I only got the Ones because I found a pair that were almost new for $200. Otherwise, I would've bought the Franks.

Well the franks for 2011 only came in a 11-12 size and those are sold out. Same for the size 10. I tried to get a pair of 11-12 from other shops for a customer and all my sources were sold out. If you are a 10.5 to 11 I would say to try on the ones. The 11-12 might have some play in them depending on your actual size. I think for 2012 they changed up the sizing on the franks. Ronix went with the same sizing on the franks as the other pro boots

I was actually speaking of year models but I would have needed an 11 so that answered my question. Guess I'll just be getting the wife to put some ones under the tree for me this year

little late reply, but the frank boots are the comfiest boots ever everybody I know loves them. I rode a pair and immediately went out and bought some.. they are freaking awesome!

So I don't want to start a war or anything, just purely curious about these bindings as well.

I own a pair of OT frank's circa 2009 or so. I will say that pair of bindings by *far* has the flexiest baseplate i've ever seen. If I lift the "heel handle loop" i can literally bend the bindings right off the board a fair amount.

I've heard people rave about the cells / ones.

Are the cells / ones built off the same platform? I honestly was very disappointed with the amount of flex but it was for a community board so honestly it didn't bother me too much.

Only reason I ask is I will probably try out ronix for my next pair of boots and i hear the franks have more side to side flex (which i like for poking out grabs) but I hate it when bindings have a lot of heel lift (mostly a mental thing).

Well, I found a pair of 2011 Franks in size 11-12 for 240 and pulled the trigger. Funny thing is the only reason I went with the Franks instead of the ones was for the color. So I hope you guys were right about the Franks feeling just as comfy as the ones because I've never seen or tried a pair of Franks in person
