Expert reviews 1
The Yes Greats 2026 has a distinctly stronger all-mountain freestyle character than the previous model, with a strengthened flex and a slightly raised camber profile. It retains the asymmetrical twin's signature turn pleasure and excellent edge grip while improving irregular-snow capability and carving performance, increasing its appeal as a versatile quiver board. It's a board to recommend strongly to intermediate and advanced freestyle/all-mountain riders who want dependable performance on firm snow and across varied conditions.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A hybrid camber profile with 5mm of camber underfoot transitioning into 2mm of rocker toward the tips. It gives the feel of full camber while also providing rocker's forgiveness, and camber is slightly higher than the previous model, improving pop and edge grip.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
The 2026 model is clearly stiffer than before, actually matching the flex rating in the marketing material. It has a continuous flex character from tip to tail, and torsional stiffness rose slightly too. Stability and damping on uneven snow are improved.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Committed beginners can attempt it, but caution is needed given the possibility of catching an edge. The 2026 model's stiffer flex suits intermediates through advanced riders best, especially those who enjoy all-mountain freestyle.
Good
- ✓An asymmetrical twin shape combined with Midbite tech provides fast turn initiation and excellent edge grip despite the wide waist
- ✓The strengthened flex for 2026 greatly improves stability and damping on irregular snow (chunder) and firm snow over the previous model
- ✓It provides excellent balance both regular and switch, usable across varied terrain including carving, side hits, pipe and kickers
- ✓The asymmetrical twin's differentiated heel/toe sidecuts compensate for the body's asymmetry, providing a natural, improved turn experience
Not so good
- —Jibbing performance falls short of dedicated freestyle boards such as the Sender and Sender Xtrm, with room for improvement in pop tech
- —The die-cut base graphic is aesthetically disappointing, and demo units' poor base condition can reduce glide performance somewhat
