{"product_id":"2027-arbor-a-frame-snowboard-w-bindings-ar7027181k","title":"2027 Arbor A-Frame Snowboard with Ride C-2 Bindings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2027 Arbor A-Frame with Ride C-2 Bindings comes out of the Founders Collection, where surf shapes meet real snowboards, and the setup is purpose built for long, powerful turns and float through soft snow. It is a directional board with a deep swallowtail and a camber profile that leans into your back foot, so it drives hard out of a turn and releases clean when you let off. The wood core keeps it light and lively underfoot with a planted, settled feel at speed. We paired the board with the C-2 bindings because these well-rounded all-mountain bindings perform well in most conditions or terrain. A moderate flex makes them stiff enough to charge on groomers but not too demanding that you can’t take them in the park. Built with durable material to last season after season making them a great choice to pair with the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eArbor splits the personality front to back, working carbon into the tail for rebound and basalt through the nose to keep it calm and damp, so it snaps off the back foot without feeling chattery up front. The Grip Tech contact points give real bite underfoot without making it grabby when you are riding flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a board for advanced riders who already ride with a surfy, back-foot style, or want to lean into one. Think deep mornings in an open bowl, slashing soft chop, then opening it up on a fast groomer back to the lift. Riders with solid fundamentals will get the most out of how much energy it has.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe directional shape, deep swallowtail, and multi-radius sidecut work together for maneuverability that gets better the harder you drive it. Arbor's Highland III core of poplar and paulownia works in both carbon and basalt reinforcement, giving the tail its pop and the nose its calm. The camber profile keeps the board connected to the snow through the whole turn rather than skating across the top of it. The composite chassis provides durability without excessive weight, while Ride’s cored ankle straps hug the boot securely without pinching. The footbed is canted to reduce fatigue and promote better stance alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a stiff, demanding board that wants an engaged rider, so it will feel like a lot of work if you ride it passively. The setback stance is all about powder and directional turns, not switch riding or park laps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing considerations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shape carries a lot of volume and a setback stance, so you can ride your usual length for everyday all-mountain use or step up a size when you want extra float and glide on the deepest days.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arbor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52371695206696,"sku":"AR7027181K","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/2027-arbor-a-frame-snowboard-w-bindings-ar7027181k-1-ar7027181k-owf2r9tl5wn1unbaucnz.jpg?v=1789136979","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/2027-arbor-a-frame-snowboard-w-bindings-ar7027181k","provider":"SkiEssentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
