Description
The Rival is a new addition to the Yes collection for this season and is the brainchild of Yes rider Juliette Pelchett. Aimed at riders who are looking for a balanced park inspired board, this high-performance twin combines state of the art design with high-quality construction to create a board that delivers exceptional control, feel and response. Built around a diamond profile blunt twin shape and featuring Yes’s advanced MidBite sidecut with traditional camber, this stunning board absolutely kills it in the park, but there’s so much more to it than that. That camber working in harmony with the MidBite edges delivers a lively and responsive ride on the piste allowing the Rival to feel equally at home cruising around the mountain as it does lapping the park. So if you’re looking to step up your freestyle skills yet you still want a boarde that’s going to perform great when you want to get out and ride, then the Rival could be the board you’re looking for.Rider Style: All-Terrain Freestyle ridersIntermediate through to expert riders who want the balance and control of a freestyle board but who still want that versatility and performance you only get with an all-terrain board.Shape Overview: True Twin with Mid-BiteThe Rivals state-of-the-art diamond profile blunt profile twin-tip shape delivers a balanced overall feel ensuring that you have all the control and feel that you could ever need. By reducing material but still keeping a bit of length, you get all the advantages of a low swing weight but you still maintain a bit of length for increased versatility. The Rival also features the class-leading MidBite edge profile. This unique design pulls in the edges between the insert packs, allowing the designers to create a wider, more stable board under the feet without compromising edge to edge feel and response.ProfileThe Rivals Camber is an update of what we would call a traditional camber. By starting the full-length camber profile just after the contact points, you get all the benefits of a conventional camber, but you also create a smoother hook-free ride. This updated Camber profile dissipates the rider's energy more evenly along the board's edge length giving a more stable and responsive ride as the edge is engaged along its full length.ConstructionUtilising Yes's versatile and durable, high-quality poplar wood core, the newRival delivers the perfect balance of durability, strength and freestyle feel. However, what makes the Rival so much more than just a playful park board is its tri-ax glass structural layers. These torsionally responsive laminates step up the board's performance ensuring that no matter if you're hitting kickers in the park, riding rails in town or just blasting around the mountain with your mates, you know that the Rival just isn't going to let you down.Base: SinteredAs the Rival is all about performance, Yes step up the base material to a True Sintered material. True Sintered is harder and more expensive than extruded, and it can be faster for those that ride aggressively fast.KeY FeATUReSMidBite edgesDiamond profile blunt twinCamberStiffness 6/10Twin FlexPoplar CoreTri-Ax GlassTrue Sintered Base
