65A Durometer Outsole - The Outsole is a dampening interface made from a special TPE Rubber. The Outsole integrates with the System X design, and sits between the binding and a rider’s snowboard. The Outsole diffuses high–frequency chatter while providing rebound and cushion for high–impact landings. On the Hemlock, we use a softer durometer TPE for a more relaxed ride. On the Cypress, we use a slightly stiffer durometer TPE for added performance.

System X baseplate with 30% fiberglass content - System X is a baseplate design that more efficiently transfers and evenly distributes a rider’s energy into their snowboard. No matter where pressure is applied to the binding, the System X allocates energy across the baseplate’s structural X shape, and out to the four cardinal points. The result is quicker, more effective control. When combining our System X bindings with any Arbor System Rocker or System Camber board design, rider input is transferred from the binding directly into the Grip Tech contact points creating additional edge performance.
Toolless Ankle and Toe strap adjustments - A little handle attached to the screw of your straps enables the rider to adjust the straps at any time and without having to use any tools.
