RXT Blackout Technology

Ronix Xperimental Technologies came about when there was a shift going away from traditional "pro model" boards and boots.Consumers for the past 30+ years have seen, ridden or heard the storyline of somebody's new board and how "stoked" they are on it. Many dealers were telling us we just need to focus on more of the entry level price point options because high end sales wouldn’t be as important in the future. So what did we do? The exact opposite. With the RXT we thought this is a chance for every engineer to throw the wildest designs, construction methods, and new materials into a board and boot. For decades we had been making products for athletes - this was a chance for us to make something that we were inspired by. Why not use this wild eco friendly material that is super popular in sail boats, or other materials that we are sworn to blackout secrecy from disclosing. If this series didn't work we were content because we could all say we got a chance to all contribute to something new that had never been used in a wakeboarding before. For maybe like a year this xperimental technology and everything it was achieving on the water was all the buzz within our company. As we were getting close to finalizing things Massi got wind of it - asked if he could try out some of the prototypes - and while he was still on the swim deck from set # 1 asked if he could be the ambassador of this special series. The RXT is a testament to the fact that sometimes you just have to follow your gut (coming up with a board/boot package that was $1300 at the time made 0 sense), and enable product managers, engineers and artists to make, source, and design what they are inspired by. Developing this series was like starting Ronix all over again. We had no rules, no preconceived notions, no reason to be safe - let's just send it. Years later it's still one of our best-selling series that was so collaborative and anti-conformist at the same time.

This graphic is such a perfect expression for the RXT. Think you have this board pegged as another clean, metal flake top - and then you flip it over and are blinded by 12 passes of screened neon inks.

ROCKER

3-STAGE ROCKER

An exaggerated rocker line with a later arc and a higher degree of angle at the tip / tail. This style of rocker creates more of a instant explosive buck off the wake for riders that go behind a big boat wake. Wakeboarders riding behind smaller wakes will still feel like they are getting a solid vertical kick.

HYBRID ROCKER

The everyday rockerline for the rider that wants to experience all traits of speed, lift and landings. Depending on how much angle you have into the wake you might experience a more explosive vertical take off, or a faster smoother release off the wake.

CONTINUOUS ROCKER

For riders looking for a smooth, fast trajectory. This tip/tail has a more subtle arc so a rider doesn’t loose any speed leaving the wake. As a result, you can fly longer and carry that speed so you will land softer. You can go into the wake blindfolded and still know exactly how it is going to release off the wake.

ENERGY

INSTANT ENERGY

The energy takes place the second the tip of the board hits the wake. A quicker way to generate lift off the transition as the energy takes place sooner and harder. For riders that can handle the extra kick.

STORED ENERGY

A more relaxed for snap for entry level to intermediate riders that are looking for a consistency over power.
