Nitro Banker vs Yes Basic

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Nitro Banker leans more freeride. The Nitro Banker uses a directional shape while the Yes Basic is twin. The Nitro Banker has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Yes Basic uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Nitro Banker is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Nitro Banker targets expert riders while the Yes Basic is aimed at advanced riders. At $449.95 vs $599.95 MSRP, the Yes Basic is the more budget-friendly option.
