Arbor's Shaping Ethos

Grip Tech + Parabolic Profiling

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:

Parabolic Profiling

We use a unique shaping technique that replaces the single radius arc found in traditional camber or rocker with a more advanced parabolic profile. The design blends five separate radii together to create a parabolic arc which gradually reduces the amount of rocker or camber toward the tip and tail. In our System Rocker shapes the design lowers the leading edge to improve edge hold. In our System Camber shapes the design makes the leading edge less aggressive for smoother performance. The blended five radii design also drastically improves our ability to tune each shape in our line for ability level, target terrain and riding style.

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, spins and landings

The System X Baseplate

FOUND ON ALL ARBOR BINDINGS

A proprietary design that transfers rider input out to four heel-to-toe convergence zones, improving edge controls and response time.
A concave design allows a board to flex more seamlessly by reducing flat spots for improved edge performance.
When paired with an Arbor Snowboard, the System X design improves the activation of Arbor's Grip Tech contact points.
This unique binding / board interaction provides maximum performance at speed, in steeps, amd through any turn, carve or spin.

Fender Tech

The edge control created by Arbor's System platform allows us to add Fenders that slightly lift a board's leading edge off the snow. This dramatically improves turning, spins, float and tracking on cambered snowboards.

Unlike "early rise" or "rockered" nose/tail transition zone, Arbor's Fenders create smoother performance without shortening the camber section of the board. As a result, you get a clean ride without any loss of the pop or performance that comes from full-length camber. Today, we use Fenders on the majority of our System Camber designs.

Smooth, solid and turny!

"I wanted to go stiffer than a 7 for the heavy tracked powder we get up at Whistler and I seem to have a habit of creasing my boards on heavy landings. This thing cuts through it with ease and smooths out all the bumps, so you can carve right through them! Off rock drops it's also super stable and you just drive smoothly out of landings. On groomers it's also great, you can really drive in to carves for the village run back down. Not quite as nimble as my previous shorter volume shifted fish in moguls, more due to the extra 5cm length, but it's super responsive to start a turn, toe side response took me by surprise on the first run. It butters and pops a bit easier than I was expecting from some of the reviews (on a 162, 6'2, 78kg). Switch seems ok, although having far too much fun bombing it forwards to do much backwards riding except on switch landings! Loving this thing so far."

Speed Demon

"Incredible experiences are the norm with the Arbor Annex. I fly down the mountain and its so stiff, stable, and responsive so shredding is a dream. You usually get what you pay for in life but to be honest having the best experiences on the mountain is invaluable and the Arbor Annex will take you there and fast. It is also one of the best looking boards and although that is subjective I receive complements on my "sweet" and "sick" board constantly. You'll literally be laughing with joy as you blaze past people. Take your riding to the next level with this Speed Demon."
