The benchwarmer is a unique board. It’s a twin – which means you can ride it regular and switch with no difference. However, the benchwarmer is asymmetrical, meaning the board is made differently on the heel and toe side – allowing turns to feel smoother. The hybrid camber has all the perks of camber (more stable at speed and better edge control) but has rocker at the tip and tail, keeping it playful and buttery and able to ride pow nicely. A lot packed into one board, it’s a true all mountain board. This is for a customer who wants something that can do it all.
Tech Talk:
Camber Type: Twin Hybrid Rocker
Rocker on the nose and the tail of the board keeps it forgiving and fun, while the camber under your feet gives you stability, pop, and strong edge hold when the snow is hardpacked.
Flex: Aggressive
This board has a stiff, aggressive flex that performs best when riding hard, fast, and powerful.
Shape: Twin Asymmetrical
Ride it forwards, backwards - it will be just the same. The asymmetrical design of the Benchwarmer means it has a specific heel side, which makes your turning between your toes and heels feel smoother and more natural.
Core: Performance Core
High strength Aspen is combined with Bamboo and lightweight Paulownia wood to provide the perfect balance of strength and weight.
Double Impact Plates
Two plates inserted underfoot take vibration out of your ride and add extra durability.
Hybrid Glass
A combination of Triaxial and Biaxial give the perfect degree of flex and stiffness. The result is a board that better handles speed.
Base: Sintered, Stone Ground
Fast, durable, wax absorbent and easy to repair.
Inserts: 2x4
