The following is a quick overview of the 2022 YES snowboards lineup.
First I will take a look at any new boards for the 2021-22 season, and any old 2020-21 boards that aren't returning with a 2022 model.
Then I'll place each board into the categories where I see them best fitting.

Summary
So there you have the 2022 YES snowboards.
4 in and 4 out, so total number in the line up the same, but with a slightly different look overall.
Out with the Old
The Ghost is gone! A little surprising to see it go, but I guess they felt it unnecessary in their lineup. The Globe Traditionalist is also gone. It has changed every year (e.g. 2021 Globe NSB, though that wasn't just a name change). Not technically replaced by anything, though the new Basic Uninc RDM is in the same ballpark for sure).
The Pro20 is out after just one season and the 420 goes too, replaced by the 420 Uninc JPS (though with quite a few changes (see above for the specific changes)
In with the New
3 new Uninc models come in - the Basic Uninc RDM, Hybrid Uninc DCP and 420 Uninc JPS. The Hybird Uninc is very similar to the regular Hybrid, but the Basic Uninc and 420 Uninc are quite different from their regular counterparts (see above for specifics).
Also in is the Rival - a new women's freestyle board, which is a combiation of the YES Dicey and YES Jackpot.
Changes for Exisiting Models
All the existing models look identical, including sizing, except:
- The Greats gets a new 149 size
I was able to test some 2022 YES boards and I'll release my reviews for those through the year.
Hi Nate, what could be real difference between hybrid uninc Vs regular hybrid in riding feel?
Also, I am 183 and 85 kg, boot size Mondo 28,5, which size of hybrid could I go for?
Thank you!!
Hi Jakov
Thanks for your message.
I haven’t had the chance to ride the Uninc, so I’m not sure from personal experience. But based on specs, it looks like the only difference is the glass in the tail. Haven’t heard of “XPIC 202” so I’m not sure if it’s stiffer than Triax or not but I think it’s supposed to be a little stiffer in the tail. As far as I know that’s the only difference.
Size-wise, I would be leaning 157 for your specs. But if you wanted you could also go 153, if you wanted a more agile ride, at the sacrifice of a little stability at speed.
Hope this helps
