Description
2025 Arbor GPS Snowboard
Directional, powerful, and progressive – the GPS is the most high-performance model in the Bryan Iguchi Signature Series. Its added nose length and tapered outline are built on a System Camber platform that features Grip Tech and 3D Fender Technology, designed to support maximum cross-terrain performance in the most technical environments. The GPS is your choice for that dream trip to Alaska – or if “big” and “steep’ are words that describe your snowboarding.
Camber Profile
- 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
- 8/10 (1=Soft,10=Stiff)
Shape
- Directional
- 19mm Taper
- Offset Fenders – 5 degrees in the nose, 3 degrees in the tail. Arbor’s Fenders are lifted side sections at the tip/tail of the board that create smoother performance without shortening the camber section of the board. As a result, you get a clean ride without any loss of the pop that comes from full-length camber.
- Grip-Tech – Grip Tech is a combination of three separate sidecut radii in the nose, tail, and center of the board, effectively giving the board an additional two contact points. This provides extra grip and control in all conditions, and also makes turning smoother, easier, and less catchy, without losing performance.
Core
- 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.
Laminates
- Mixed Glassing – A triax over biax lay-up that’s best for versatility: pow, backcountry, groomers, jumps, and more.
Topsheet
- Real Wood Powerply – Built with natural fiber, wood and bamboo topsheets drive the performance, aesthetic, and ethos that Arbor is known for. Several steps are taken to get a Powerply onto Arbor snowboards responsibly, and in a way that ensures durability and lasting quality.
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.
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
-
Double Carbon Stringers – Two carbon fiber stringers run from the tip to tail
providing added pop, snap and landing durability. - Wend Natural Wax – All Arbor snowboards hit the shop floor ready to ride with Wend Natural Wax.
- 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.
- Manufactured With 100% Solar Energy
Binding Compatibility
- 2x4 14 Pack Inserts
