Expert reviews 1
The Ride Benchwarmer is an upper-intermediate-and-above park board concentrating advanced technology including an asymmetrical twin design, hybrid camber, Carbon Array 3 and Double Impact Plates. It holds powerful pop and stability in the park while also having the versatility for all-mountain use. It isn't suited to powder, but it's strongly recommended to riders who want to handle varied terrain on one board with the park at the centre.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A hybrid camber construction with strong camber through the middle and rocker blended into the nose and tail tips. It provides powerful drive while the tips feel catch-free, making turn initiation easy.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A park-specific high-performance board with a flex above medium. Carbon Slimewall and Carbon Array 3 keep the middle of the board playably flexible while delivering strong pop and power at the edges and tips.
