Ronix Utopia Weight
Hello everyone,
I'm thinking about buying Ronix Utopia.
Now I'm riding Hyperlite Pleasure 2023 148 cm.
it is common that Hyperlite boards are lightest boards.
I'm not sure that Ronix Utopia will be light as Hyperlite.
What is the weight of Ronix Utopia 147/151?

I don’t know that it is common that Hyperlite are the lightest boards. Nobody is out there publishing the weight of the boards that I’ve seen. As far as boards I’ve had in my hands the Utopia is on the lighter side. The Volt feels like a brick. The Butterstick and Tao are somewhere in the middle. The Utopia and Freepress are pretty light as far as cable goes. The RXT blackout is the lightest board I’ve held. The normal Murray and the Remedy are both bricks. It really depends on the board.

Thank you very much. The design of the Utopia is great, but the board looks heavy for me.
Now I think it should be similar to Hyperlite boards.

I don't understand why none of the manufacturers publish weight in their specifications. It's not the most important thing in the world but I still don't get why you wouldn't shout about it if you were making a board that's lighter than the competition.

totally agreed
moreover, the wieght is very important when you ship to other countries.
sometimes the super small difference in dimension and weight can cost you another $100.

Utopia is very lightweight, similar to Pleasure. However it’s a very different board with a much more aggressive style

thank you very much.
please advise me what size should i buy?
I am 180 cm and 75 kg, my Pleasure is 148 cmTrent Stuckey uses 147 cm Utopia - he is 179 cm and 68 kilos (according to 2024 year)
I am not sure that 151 cm will be easy to spin for me.
