Their efforts allow Arbor to offer meaningful progression, year-in and year-out, towards reducing the impact that snowboard production has on the planet. All Arbor Snowboards are produced with 100% Solar Energy.
Taper - Tail is 1,00 cm narrower than the Nose.
2x4 14 Pack Inserts - Provide a wide stance range, while at the same time delivering critical micro adjustability.
3-Year Warranty - We stand behind the quality and construction of every Arbor snowboard with an extended 3-Year Warranty. For more information on our warranty policy, visit https://www.arborcollective.com/us/warranty
4 Point Camber - The 4-Point Camber System deliberately abstains from using Uprise Fenders. This makes the board extremely reactive and direct and offers the rider full camber performance from the very first moment of the turn initiation. In combination with the additional Grip Tech contact point under foot The 4-Point Camber system design offers the highest possible edge hold in any condition.
Cross Vector Netting - Our newly developed Carbon Vector Net reinforcements create evenly distributed torsional power and accelerated response from tip to tail.
Double Carbon Stringers - Two carbon fiber uprights running from the tip and tail. A set up that provides added landing durability and pop for bigger park and backcountry performance.
Factory Tuned - We detune the tip and tail contact points on all of our snowboards for a catch-free ride before they leave the factory.
Mixed Glassing - A triax over biax lay–up that’s best for versatility: pow, backcountry, groomers, jumps, and more.
Sintered Base - A higher molecular weight, sintered base that provides added durability and speed.
360° Fully Wrapped Sidewalls - A 360–degree, 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.
Zero Waste Base - All of our die-cut bases feature our Zero Waste Base technology, and come in interchangeable 2 colorways. This process is essential to reducing our carbon footprint and eliminating waste during the manufacturing process.
Tech Talk
Grip Tech - creates added heel and toe contact points that dramatically improve edge control on snow and ice. The design creates a more ergonomic and direct connection to the snow for substantially improved handling and response time. The added contact points make it possible for Arbor to offer Rocker designs that hold an amazing edge, and Camber designs that provide cleaner edge performance.
GRIP TECH 2.25 mm - 2.25 mm Grip Tech provides improved handling and response time with added edge control on the resort and in mixed conditions. These added contact points also make it possible for Arbor to offer Rocker designs that hold an edge unlike most other reverse camber boards available.
System Camber - Our System Camber shapes are for riders who want: a highly responsive ride, crisp on-edge performance, and more pop for; carving and ollies; effortless true-camber performance across all types of snow, and during turns, spin, and landings
Taper - A shaping technique that narrows the profile of the snowboard towards the rear contact points. Tapered snowboards will have a wider nose and narrower tail, allowing the tail of the board to sink in deeper snow creating natural float and cleaner tracking.
Material
Bio-Resin - All Arbor snowboards are made with Bio-Resin, a replacement for traditional petroleum-based resin. The ingredients that go into Bio-Resin are sourced as co-products or waste products of other industrial processes and are manufactured employing green chemistry techniques that reduce the carbon footprint of the material by up to 40%, when compared to its petroleum-based equivalent.
Bio-Plastic Topsheet: Used in an ongoing effort to eliminate harmful petroleum-based plastics, this Castor Bean ecotopsheet is extremely durable and water repellent. Sustainably sourced
Handdyed Ash Powerply - Sustainably harvested, majority coming from borer-kill trees, off-white to light brown, the canvas forArbor's hand-dyed designs.
Highland III Core - a 5/20 poplar paulownia blend from our sourcing partners. Light, very responsive and long-lasting durability. This core has the highest ratio of Paulownia to Poplar
Paulownia - Sustainable, fast growing, farm grown, and highly renewable, used to reduce board weight without sacrificing tensile strength.
Poplar - Sustainable, farm raised, fast growing, and highly renewable, the backbone of all Arbor cores, light and durable, proven.
Recycled ABS - When a non-plastic alternative is unavailable, as in the case of ABS sidewalls, we do our best to opt for a recycled material to improve the sustainability of our products.
Recycled Steel Edges - Our highly durable, recycled steed edges embody two of Arbor’s key values: quality and sustainability.
Wend Natural Wax - All Arbor snowboards hit the shop floor ready to ride with Wend Natural Wax.
