Construction and Materials

The Benchwarmer features Carbon Array 3™ that, in layman’s terms, means that there are 6 carbon stringers criss-crossed under the binding zones to distribute power to the contact points. This has the double whammy effect of not only giving you maximum board control but also adding additional pop to the board.

The stone ground, sintered base will not only let you run fast but is also super durable, while the new Carbon SlimeWalls feature strategically placed carbon on the sidewalls from the inserts to the contact points to offer increased stability and response.

The pinstripe topsheet brings a touch of class to the proceedings not just in style but is printed straight to the fibreglass as part of Ride’s Topless Construction. By doing away with unnecessary topsheet material the board becomes lighter and more durable.

Roundup

This board is built for firm snow, tight turns and big sends in the park. It’s asymmetric twin shape will help to keep your turns locked in tight while the carbon stringers and aggressive camber profile will give you plenty of pop of in the park.

It may be called the Benchwarmer but if you’ve got the skills to come on at halftime and turn the game around then this is actually a great choice for your everyday, in-bounds ripper that gives you everything you’d expect in the park, but pumped full of extra tech to charge the rest of your resort.
