Buy the RX Series if you want a versatile all-rounder, otherwise the Babolat Air Viper Woman suits attacking players wanting a lighter frame.
Two intermediate options at very similar money but different flavours. The RX Series (£100-110, 360-375g, teardrop, medium balance, EVA Soft Performance, carbon face) is the versatile all-rounder. The Air Viper Woman at £130 is the lighter, more attacking option from Babolat's Viper line.
A few thoughts:
If you're an all-court intermediate who wants a frame that does everything reasonably well and doesn't dictate your style, the RX Series is the smarter pick. If you specifically want to play attacking padel and the standard Viper is too much frame, the Air Viper Woman is purpose-built for that gap. Pick on intent, not price.

The main differences are: Weight: Adidas RX has 360-375g vs 350-365g. Shape: Adidas RX has Teardrop vs Diamond. Overall, the Adidas RX Series Padel Racket is best for intermediate players while the Babolat Air Viper Woman Padel Racket suits intermediate players.
