Rocker Type

The System Rocker – This rocker deck's design eliminates the leverage required to release and re-engage a snowboard's outside contact points. In translation, riders get a seamless turn initiation, better float in powder, and more fluid spins and slides.

Flex

Flex: 6 (1=Soft, 10=Stiff)

Shape

Mountain Twin – Mildly directional with symmetrical tip and tail dimensions but a shorter tail than tip.

Knucklehead Tip – Peak to parking lot with extra punch for powder.

Core

Double Barrel II Core – The most progressive of Arbor's cores. Two Bamboo struts run tip-to-tail down the center of this upgraded Poplar core. Bamboo adds power and strength for bigger mountain performance.

Laminates

Mixed Glassing – Extra strength, extra performance thanks to Arbor's Triax over Biax lay-up.

Sidewalls

360® Rails – Fully wrapped sidewalls that eliminate 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.

Base

Sintered Base – A higher molecular weight, sintered base that provides added durability and speed.

Binding Compatibility

2x4 14-Pack Inserts

Flex

Stiff Flex – Engineered for freeride and bigger terrain features.

Organic Flex – Reduces the binding footprint, putting less material in contact with the snowboard in order to allow board flex underfoot to be more organic and true to spec.

Baseplate

X-Drive Baseplate – X-Drive is a baseplate design that enhances performance by more efficiently transferring and evenly distributing rider input to a snowboard. No matter where pressure is applied to the binding, the X-Drive allocates energy across the baseplates structural X Shape and out to the four contact points. The result is quicker, more effective control.

Fiberglass Reinforcing – 33% glass content for added strength and stability.

2x4 Universal Mini-Disc – Mini Disc's require less surface area and along with the X Drive help provides a more organic snowboard flex underfoot. Channel compatible.

2 XD EVA Footbeds – A dual-density footbed design that provides impact absorption, comfort, durability, and improved feel. The topside of the footbed is made with a harder material that provides durability and a more tactile interface with a rider's boot. Under the ball and the heel area we added impact absorbent EVA pods that interface directly with a rider's snowboard to improve board feel while adding cushion for landings and hard snow conditions. The footbed has a 1.5° built-in cant for a more ergonomically aligned ride.

Highback

Asymmetrical Highback with 5° Lateral Pre-Rotation – All of Arbor's bindings feature low mounted asymmetrical highbacks with 5° pre-rotation, providing ergonomic feel and freedom of movement.

Toolless Forward Lean Adjustment

Straps

Co-Molded Ankle Strap

Wire-Core Adjuster Strap – Arbor's patented "wire-core" adjuster strap allows the ankle strap to drop out of the way, quickly and easily, making getting into the binding much more user-friendly. The stainless steel wire also ensures that no matter how many times a rider bends their strap. It will never stretch out or break.

Buckles

Cast Aluminum Buckles and Levers – Reliable and durable.

Additional Features

65A Durometer Outsole – A dampening interface made from a special TPE Rubber. The Outsole Integrates with the X-Drive 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.

Adjustable Aluminum Heelcups – Highly durable extruded aluminum, designed to work with the 2x4 mini disc for the amazing adjustability. Use the highback to center the foot and the disc to fine turn your stance width. Heelcup is covered by Arbor's Lifetime Warranty.
