Arbor A-Frame Snowboard 2026 - Men's

2026 Arbor A-Frame Snowboard

The A-Frame is back—but not as you remember it. Reimagined with a modern swallowtail and directional shaping, this board blends Arbor's signature surf-inspired style with serious carving power. Its System Camber profile, progressive dual-radius sidecut, and RWD Carbon reinforcement make it a powerhouse for advanced riders who crave speed, edge hold, and back-foot driven turns. With a stiff flex and a design that thrives in open alpine terrain and deep powder, the A-Frame delivers technical precision with bold new energy.

Who is this board best for
Hard-charging riders who want a stiff, directional board for steep terrain, carving, and deep snow.

Camber Profile

• System Camber – Traditional camber feel with parabolic shaping for smoother turn entry and exit, and 3D Fenders for catch-free transitions.

Flex

• Flex Rating: 8–9/10 – Powerful and damp for maximum control in steep and variable terrain.

Shape

• Directional Swallowtail – Surf-inspired shape with a longer nose and narrower, split tail for deep snow float and clean carves.

• Taper – The tail is narrower than the nose, which helps the board sink naturally in powder and improves turn initiation.

Sidecut

• Progressive Dual Radius Sidecut – A tighter radius near the feet blends into a mellower arc toward the tip and tail for controlled, responsive turns.

Core

• Highland III Core – A lightweight, high-performance core with a higher ratio of Paulownia to Poplar for premium flex and durability.

Laminates

• RWD Carbon A-Frame – Back-foot targeted carbon stringers boost drive and rebound.

• Vector Netting – Aramid fiber grid distributes torsional energy evenly.

• Mixed Glassing – A triax-over-biax layup for versatile terrain control.

Base

• Sintered Base – High molecular weight for faster glide and added durability.

Binding Compatibility

• 2x4 Stainless Steel Inserts (14-Pack)
