Yes Basic vs Yes Drive
Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
Both boards are designed for all mountain and freestyle riding. The Yes Basic uses a twin shape while the Yes Drive is directional twin. The Yes Basic has a hybrid (camber/rocker) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Yes Drive uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Yes Drive is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range.

Yes Basic
Yes’s park/all-mountain staple with a crowded used market. Price condition, not the season sticker. Basic UnInc RDM is a different, more limited board — do not treat a blem or wide as automatically worth more.
