FEATURES
The Benchwarmer is an aggressive twin shape suited to riders seeking hardpack performance in the park. The Benchwarmer offers our most aggressive camber profile for the riders demanding a precise and crisp ride. The Benchwarmer is at home on the big line of the park and on firm snow. The Extra Camber profile provides stability for jumping as well as aggressive high-speed turns. Asymmetric shaping improves heelside turn initiation and control with different radii for the heel and toeside edges. Carbon Array 3 gives you extra pop without adding stiffness. Carbon Slim Walls reduce weight, increase damping, increase energy transfer and enhance response stability and durability. The Benchwarmer is a performance-focused twin suited for intermediate to advanced riders looking for hard snow performance in a snappy, predictable twin shape.

TECHNOLOGY
PROFILE:
Twin Extra Camber
True twin positive camber dominant shape with a slight rocker zone at the contact points.
SHAPE:
Asymmetrical
Asymmetric sidecut shaping improves heelside turn initiation and control. A sidecut specifically engineered for toeside turns and another specific to heelside makes the board just feels right.
Quadratic Sidecut
Blending of three radii to improve turn initiation/exit while providing the best grip possible. This design is uniquely formulated for each model based on its shape and riding style.
CONSTRUCTION:
Double Impact Plates
Urethane weaves added underneath each binding area to improve compressive strength and prevent board breaks where it matters most. Offered in two levels, Single and Double.
Carbon Array 3
Widespread carbon stringers, placed at the binding zone, cross over each other and taper to the contact points on the tip and tail This power distribution technology provides total board control, quicker turn initiation, and tortional rigidity. Offered in two levels, CARBON ARRAY 3 & CARBON ARRAY 5.
PERFORMANCE CORE:
High strength Aspen is combined with Bamboo and lightweight Paulownia wood to provide the perfect balance of strong and light.
HYBRID GLASS:
Triaxial on top, biaxial on base; balanced torsional flex and stiffness for better response with speed.
CLEAVE EDGE STEEL:
Nearly 50% more steel, delivers unmatched resistance to edge cracking and can be detuned to larger radii. More durable edges.
CARBON SLIM WALLS:
Pushing RIDE’s revolutionary Slim Wall a step further, Carbon Slim Wall integrates a full-length Carbon-Urethane composite laminate. Giving additional edge hold, energy transfer, and pop.
BASE:
Sintered 4000
High-end sintered 4000 Ptex base material that is more durable, harder and faster than extruded.
Stone Ground Base
The absolute best way to finish building a snowboard. Nice and flat base, no weird bumps or extra material. Stone ground is the way to go, ask your local tune shop.
