Arbor Zygote Twin Snowboard 2016

Board sports need to stick together, and the Arbor Zygote Twin Snowboard pays tribute to the traditions of early skaters and adopts a freaky gnarly, ollie-popping shape. A fat platform for boosting off the mountain and the additional pop-support of The System Camber brings a ride that is almost too good to be true. The Zygote Twin will help you generate methods and get inverted in the pipe like you imagined you would when you were still falling off the chairlift.

Product Details

Rocker Type

The System CamberOffers a poppy ride with crisp, fully engaged performance. The parabolic camber guarantees that the outside contact points do not dig too far into the snow, thus creating a cleaner, less-catchy board.

Flex

Soft FlexMore forgiving and easier to turn, a soft flex is good for beginners, riders with lower body weights and perfect for park riders. Soft snowboards provide a soft buttery feel at slower speeds.

Shape

Non-Symmetrical TwinA fusion of true-twin on-snow geometry with distinct tip and tail outlines. While dissimilar in shape, the tip and tail share identical widths, heights and lengths, creating a symmetrical twin ride designed for true-cambered freestyle.

Bonehead TipA skate-influenced shape for street-inspired riding.

Grip Tech SidecutGrip Tech is 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. The extra contacts also form pivot zones that make turning easier and more natural.

Uprise FendersThe outside contact zones are pulled off the snow with angled 3° risers on all System Camber designs.

Core

Single Malt Wood CoreArbor's standard wood core for highly-reliable return and lasting durability. Made from 100% sustainably-grown Poplar wood.

Laminates

Biax GlassingA 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 RailsThe sidewall fully wraps the circumference of the deck to deliver an incredibly tight tolerance for improved board life and durability.

Base

Extruded BasePolyethylene pellets are melted down in extreme heat then forced together under a high pressure machine. The end result is a strong, solid, and smooth base that is easy to maintain, non-porous and extremely durable.

Die-Cut BaseBase color displayed may not be available. Base colors may vary.

Union Contact Snowboard Bindings 2016

Pro rider Scott Stevens helped create the Union Contact Snowboard Bindings - so obviously they're capable of getting gnarly. Their construction promotes a natural board flex without dead spots for mega-board control in a lightweight and soft freestyle-oriented design. Since it is on the softer side of the spectrum, the Contact is ideal for park and urban snowboarding. Utilizing the dampening of Multi Density EVA and an aluminum heel cup, you get insane comfort and heel hold for an epic response. Progress your rail game with the Union Contact Snowboard Bindings.
