Yes First Basic vs Yes Rival

How they compare

the Yes First Basic leans more all mountain, while the Yes Rival leans more freestyle. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. The Yes First Basic has a flat profile (neutral base between bindings; predictable, often paired with rocker toward tips/tail), while the Yes Rival uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Yes Rival is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
