Meet the 2026 YES Greats: The All-Mountain Freestyle Powerhouse
2026 YES Greats Snowboard: Precision Meets Playfulness
The 2026 YES Greats Snowboard continues its legacy as a top-tier all-mountain freestyle board, blending innovative design with high-performance features. This year's model introduces enhancements that cater to riders seeking both precision and versatility on the slopes.
Specifications:
- Outline: Asymmetrical Twin w/MidBite
- Flex: 7/10
- Profile: CamRock 2-5-2
Key Features:
-
Asymmetrical Twin Shape: The board's asymmetrical design, featuring a wider sidecut on the toe edge and a narrower one on the heel, aligns with natural body mechanics. This results in intuitive edge control and a smoother, more responsive ride.
-
Asymmetrical MidBite Technology: By integrating Asymmetrical MidBite into opposing sidecut specs, the board enhances edge control, allowing for quick edge-to-edge transitions and improved stability during turns.
-
CamRock Profile: Combining camber between the feet for control with rocker at the tips for playfulness, the CamRock profile offers stability, pop, and effortless float in various snow conditions.
-
Carbon Fiber Construction: The full carbon fiber build delivers explosive pop and responsiveness while maintaining a lightweight structure, ensuring agility without compromising strength.
-
Sintered Base: Crafted for speed and durability, the sintered base provides superior wax absorption, keeping you fast across all snow types.
Updates from 2025 - 2026
The 2025 model, the Greats UnInc, was already a top performer—praised for its mid‑stiff flex, quick edge initiation, stable camber‑under‑foot, and balanced freestyle chops. Its combination of poplar‑paulownia‑bamboo core, sintered base, and Asym MidBite made it one of the best all‑mountain fair‑weather boards of the season. But the 2026 update refines that formula: the lighter core yields floatier, poppier behaviour; added carbon stiffens the chassis for more power and control; and the artwork gets playful, riffing on conspiracy‑inspired designs like “AI’s potential takeover.” The result? A board that retains the versatility and joy of the 2025 Greats but is sharper, faster, and more dynamic—ideal for riders who want a pro‑level edge in both style and substance.
Performance and Suitability:
The 2026 YES Greats is tailored for intermediate to expert riders who desire a board that excels in both freestyle parks and all-mountain terrains. Its medium-stiff flex (rated 4/5) offers a balance between stability at high speeds and the flexibility needed for tricks and butters. With its asymmetrical twin shape, responsive flex, and CamRock profile, it’s a dream for freestyle enthusiasts who want to dominate the park while still having the confidence to carve hard on groomers and explore side hits.
While not specifically designed for deep powder, the board's rocker tips provide adequate float in light powder conditions. Its true twin shape and centered stance make it ideal for riders who frequently switch stances or focus on park features, making it an ideal choice for all-mountain riders who want a playful yet powerful board that doesn’t flinch when pushed.
