Calling all park riders! The Ride Benchwarmer is a powerhouse freestyle board built for aggressive riding and technical tricks. This board's stiff flex provides the stability and pop needed to stomp huge landings and boost high above the lip. The Benchwarmer features a unique asymmetrical twin shape with a slightly different edge radius on the heelside compared to the toeside. This design enhances heelside turn initiation and control, making it easier to lock into those backside grabs. For added durability, the Benchwarmer features Double Impact Plates under the bindings. These stiffen the board in the critical zone to prevent unwanted flex and potential breaks, keeping you riding worry-free and focused on pushing your freestyle limits.
Asymmetrical Quadratic Sidecut - Asymmetrical shaping improves heelside turn initiation and control with different radii for the toe and heelside edge.
Carbon Slim Walls® - Further improving on Ride's revolutionary Slim Wall® technology, Carbon Slim Wall® integrates a full-length carbon urethane-composite laminate that provides additional edge hold and energy transfer over their traditional Slim Wall®.
Performance™ Core - High strength Aspen is combined with Bamboo and lightweight Paulownia wood to decrease weight while increasing strength.
Thin Construction Tapered Tips - ALL Ride boards feature tapered tips and tails to reduce swing weight and enhance tip flex.
Hybrid Triax/Biax Fiberglass - A layer of triaxial fiberglass on top of the board with biaxial on the base balances torsion and stiffness for better response at speed. Ride takes stitched glass to new levels and tailors it to each board's needs. Their unique glass designs are flatter and more consistent, which increases strength and prevents gaps or stretching that can be found in woven glass.
Carbon Array 3 Carbon Stringers - 3 widespread carbon stringers are placed at the binding zone to gather input from any stance width and all pressure angles. Rider input is then channeled to the opposing contact point for maximum board control.
Double Impact Plates - Added underneath each binding area to improve compressive strength and prevent board breaks where it matters most. Offered in two levels, single and double.
Sintered Base - This high end sintered 4000 Ptex base material is more durable, harder and faster than extruded.
Cleave Edge™ - Nearly 50% more steel, delivers unmatched resistance to edge cracking and can be de-tuned to larger radii for extra smooth delivery.
3 Year Warranty - Covered under manufacturer warranty for 3 years from the time of purchase. Warranty includes structural defects only and DOES NOT cover impact damage, abuse, misuse or normal wear and tear expected from aggressive riding.
Sorry folks, but bashing your board on a rock or rail does not qualify as a "manufacturer's defect" and will not be honored.
