The YES Standard 2026 got a stiffer flex that improved its overall ride. It's very forgiving, very versatile, and has really good float in powder for a directional twin thanks to the setback inserts. It doesn't have a lot of pop on an ollie or the best spring out of a carve, but it has very solid grip and is an excellent board for anyone who wants to chill and ride all day in all conditions.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
Hybrid camber in a centred directional twin, with setback inserts that give it really good float in powder for a directional twin. The 2026 model got a stiffer flex that improved its overall ride.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium flex that's easy to butter.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Beginner through expert — very forgiving and easy to skid a turn, so it also suits advanced riders who want to chill and have an easy board to ride all day in all conditions.
Good
- ✓Very forgiving and very versatile
- ✓Really good float in powder for a directional twin thanks to the setback inserts
- ✓Very solid grip that reaches icy snow
- ✓The 2026 model's stiffer flex improved its overall ride
Not so good
- —It doesn't have a lot of pop on an ollie
- —Not the best spring out of a turn when carving
The Yes Standard 2026 is a very forgiving, versatile all-mountain board with a combination of shallow camber and early rise, usable broadly from beginners and intermediates to advanced riders who want comfortable riding. Flex is somewhat strengthened for 2026, slightly improving irregular-snow stability and pop, but carving rebound and pop remain disappointing compared with camber-based boards. A directional twin shape and setback inserts give it excellent powder performance, making it a dependable option across varied snow conditions.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A hybrid profile with very shallow camber and considerable early rise (rocker) at the nose and tail. The camber is so slight you can barely slip a finger under it — forgiving and good for buttering, but lacking the spring and carving rebound of camber-based boards.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
The 2026 model has a strengthened flex over its predecessor, providing an all-mountain-level medium stiffness. The tail is comparatively stiff with the nose at a similar level, giving a consistent twin flex pattern overall. It's no longer super-soft, yet retains enough flexibility for buttering.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Its forgiving, easy-handling character suits beginner to intermediate riders, and it's also recommended to advanced and expert riders who want relaxed all-mountain laps all day. That said, advanced riders wanting pop and rebound may find it wanting.
Good
- ✓A directional twin shape and setback inserts deliver excellent float in powder
- ✓It provides predictable, easy-to-handle stable riding on irregular snow
- ✓It has high versatility, able to cope with both groomers and powder
- ✓Switch riding is natural, almost as if it were a true twin
- ✓It provides ample edge grip on hard snow
Not so good
- —Low camber leaves spring feel and rebound after the turn lacking
- —Weaker pop and less jib-friendliness than the Standard Xtrm
- —Less camber reduces the sense of contact with the snow, leaving carving rebound disappointing
- —The wide waist can make turns feel somewhat slow for riders in smaller boots
