System Camber – If you want a highly responsive ride, crisp on-edge performance, and more pop for carving and ollies - all with smoother camber performance - then System Camber shapes are for you. The camber progressively reduces toward the tip and tail, making the leading edge less aggressive for cleaner on-snow performance.

Flex Rating – 7-8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

Directional Twin

Highland III Core – A 5 / 20 blend of Poplar and Paulownia for lighter weight and higher performance. The HIGHLAND III has the highest ratio of Paulownia to Poplar

Real Wood Powerply – From the beginning, Arbor's Powerply veneer topsheets have been made with sustainable sourced wood and bamboo material whose organic fiber drives performance through natural power, strength and longevity. The individuality of each slice of veneer provides every board a one-of-a-kind aesthetic that is otherwise impossible to replicate.

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.

System X – The System X design evenly distributes a rider's energy into their snowboard.

The result is quicker, more effective control. 15% glass content for added strength and stability.

50A Durometer Outsole – The Outsole is a dampening interface made from a special TPE rubber. The Outsole integrates with the System X 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. On the Cypress, Arbor uses a slightly stiffer durometer TPE for added performance.

Flex Rating – 5 - 9 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

Vans Flex Control System – Removable high-rebound Hytrel® tongue stiffeners allow riders to custom-tune their flex.
