RIDE Benchwarmer Snowboard – 2026

The RIDE Benchwarmer Snowboard 2026 is an aggressive asym twin for intermediate to advanced riders who want hardpack and big-park performance in a snappy, precise, camber-loaded freestyle deck.

Locked-In Extra Camber for Park Power

• Aggressive Extra Camber profile: RIDE’s Extra Camber profile puts more camber under your feet for powerful edge hold, pop, and stability when you’re sending big jumps or laying down high-speed carves.
• Asymmetrical twin shape: Asymmetric sidecut with different radii on heel and toe edges improves heelside initiation and control, so the board feels more natural and balanced whether you’re charging jumps or carving firm cord.
• Quadratic sidecut grip: A multi-radius Quadratic sidecut blends three radii to deliver quick turn entry, powerful exits, and dependable grip on icy lips and hardpack landings.
• Aggressive flex & response: Triax/biax Hybrid Glass, Carbon Array™ 3, Double Impact Plates, and Carbon Slim Walls combine for a stiff, powerful flex that stays composed at speed and rewards riders with precise edge control.

High-End Construction for Serious Riders

• Performance™ Core: A lightweight Performance Core mixing Aspen, Bamboo, and Paulownia wood balances strength, snap, and reduced swing weight for spinning and quick edge-to-edge transitions.
• Carbon Slim Walls: Carbon-infused urethane Slim Walls enhance damping, reduce weight, boost energy transfer, and improve edge hold compared to standard sidewalls.
• Sintered 4000 base: A fast, durable Sintered 4000 Ptex base holds wax well and stays quick for all-day park laps and hardpack hot laps.
• Cleave Edge™ steel edges: Beefed-up Cleave Edge steel offers roughly 50% more steel for better crack resistance and aggressive detuning options.
• Sustainability touches: 30% recycled steel edges, FSC®-certified paper packaging, factory Wend® Meadowfoam biodegradable wax, and solar-powered production help reduce environmental impact.

Ideal For: Advanced Park & Firm-Snow Destroyers

The Benchwarmer is built for riders who want their park board to feel like a precision weapon on firm snow. If you’re hitting big jump lines, love high-speed approaches and takeoffs, and want a true twin that can also rail hardpack laps between park runs, this is the board that moves from “bench” to daily driver.
