100% Solar Power - Arbor Snowboard’s long-standing manufacturing partnership with SWS Board Technology is one of the key components of the brand’s ability to deliver on our founding mission to focus on sustainability. SWS's commitment to mindfully crafting snowboards goes well beyond today’s quality and sustainability standards. 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.
2x4 10 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
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.
Extruded Base - A tough, user–friendly extruded base that delivers ease of repair.
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.
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.
Tech Talk
3° Uprise Fenders - The outside contact point is lifted by 3°. This makes the board less catchy and agressive when initiating the turn while the rider can rely on amazing grip once the board is fully on the edge.
Fender Tech is a 3D feature that symmetrically pulls a snowboards outer contact points up off the snow. On System Camber models, fenders can be found in both the nose and tail at the traditional contact points and are designed to create smoother turn initiation and finish. On System Rocker models, their primary purpose is added flotation on deep days.
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.
Parabolic profiling - Different from traditional camber lines on snowboards, Parabolic Profiling is an advanced mathematical shaping technique that replaces a single radius arc with a blend of five separate radii to create a parabolic arc, gradually reducing the amount of camber or rocker toward the tip and tail for a more natural connection to the snow. On Camber shapes, it allows both the leading and finishing edges to run smoother. And on System Rocker shapes, lowers the leading edge to improve grip and edge hold.
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
THE SYSTEM shaping philosophy underpins the design of every snowboard in our line. It allows us to create advanced true-rocker and true-camber designs. As a result, we preserve all of the inherent riding benefits of these proven platforms by avoiding hybridization. Two distinct technologies make this possible: GRIP TECH + PARABOLIC PROFILING
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.
Highland Core - Our most versatile core, constructed with a 1:2 blend of poplar and paulownia, for super light weight performance, durability, and return.
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 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.
