Features
Grip-Tech – A tri-radial sidecut design that is not "blended." Natural shaping intersections, that in the past were eliminated, have been transformed into heel and toe contact points that provide a direct, more ergonomic way to grip the snow when additional control is needed.
Spoonhead Tip – All-mountain function in a range of snow conditions.
The System Rocker – The Rocker System combines a progressive parabolic arc rocker profile with a tri-radial Grip Tech sidecut design. Enjoy more natural and cleaner tracking turns with a high performance surfy ride.
Flex: 3 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Biax Glassing – A biax over biax lay-up that's designed for park and street inspired all-mountain riding. Also creates a good platform for learning.
FSC Certified Highland Core – Made from a blend of poplar and paulownia for super light weight performance, durability, and return.
Recycled ABS – When a plastic alternative is unavailable, as in the case of ABS sidewalls, Arbor does its best to opt for a recycled material to improve the sustainability of its products.
360° Rails – A 360°, fully wrapped sidewall that eliminates the need for tip fill, while effectively tying the whole snowboard together. A technology that delivers incredibly tight tolerances for improved board life and durability.
Recycled Steel Edges – Arbor uses the most sustainable components possible. All edges are made from recycled steel. Highly durable, recycled steel edges embody both quality and sustainability.
Extruded Base – A tough, user-friendly extruded base that delivers lighter-weight performance.
Wend Natural Wax – All Arbor snowboards hit the shop floor ready to ride with Wend Natural Wax.
Factory Tuned – Arbor detunes the tip and tail contact points on all of its snowboards for a catch-free ride before they leave the factory.
