1+1=2. E = mc². Some things simply are. And for such fundamental truths, we find the most honest expression in formulas. The Arbor Formula Rocker Snowboard reflects the same undeniable purity of meaning. This is a snowboard. This is what snowboarding is, at it's essence, stripped of extraneous coefficients and simplified to its smallest denominator. The Arbor Formula Rocker Snowboard is a true all-mountain twin that excels in all areas. It rides park, pow, and steeps with equal ease, and its fully rockered profile adds a surfy, smooth turning flow to any line.
Rocker Type
System Rocker – If you want a surfy ride, natural float, buttery turns and spins, and catch-free tracking across the snow - all with highly reliable edge hold - then Arbor's System Rocker shapes are for you. System Rocker progressively reduces the amount of rocker toward the tip and tail and allows the outside contacts to easily engage when max edge hold is needed.
Flex
5 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Shape
Grip-Tech – A tri-radial sidecut design that is not "blended." Natural shaping intersections, that in the past were eliminated, have been transformed into heel and toe contact points that provide a direct, more ergonomic way to grip the snow when additional control is needed.
Core
Highland Core – Arbor's most versatile core, constructed with a 1:2 blend of poplar and paulownia, for super light weight performance, durability, and return.
Laminates
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.
Sidewalls
360° Fully Wrapped Sidewalls – 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.
Recycled ABS – When a plastic alternative is unavailable, as in the case of ABS sidewalls, Arbor does its best to opt for a recycled material to improve the sustainability of their products.
Base
Sintered Base – A higher molecular weight, sintered base that provides added durability and speed.
Edges
Recycled Steel Edges – Highly durable, recycled steel edges embody Arbor's key values: quality and sustainability.
Factory Tuned – Arbor detunes the tip and tail contact points on all of their snowboards for a catch-free ride before they leave the factory.
Additional Features
Bio Resin – Bio-Resin is a replacement for traditional petroleum based resin that doesn't affect performance or usability. The ingredients that go into it 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.
