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
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.
Karakoram® UltraClips - Karakoram’s new and improved splitboard clip is powerful, easier to use, and lighter. Once joined, the UltraClip fully constrains the seam of your splitboard to eliminate seam rattling, seam shearing, and seam rolling. The lever locks in the touring position as well to eliminate unwanted movement on the ascent.
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.
Universal Splitboard Insert Packs - These Insert Packs are compatible with all established splitboard binding system on the market.
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.
Knucklehead Shape - Peak to parking lot with extra punch for powder.
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
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.
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
Bamboo Powerply - US Lacey Act compliant, highly renewable fast growing grass, sustainably harvested, carbonized to create deep amber color.
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
Highland Split Core - Our highly versatile Highland Core, with additional insert and centerline components for a premium factory splitboard.
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.
