2026 Arbor Metal Machine Decon Snowboard
The 2026 Arbor Metal Machine Decon brings Erik Leon’s C.O.R.E. vision to life with a softer, more affordable take on the original Metal Machine. Built for park laps, street sessions, and creative riding, the Decon keeps things simple and durable with a true twin shape, pure camber profile, and the reliable Highland I Core. Its softer 4–5 flex makes pressing, jibbing, and turn initiation easier, while the extruded base and sustainable materials keep maintenance low and stoke high. Designed for riders who value progression and community just as much as performance, this deck is all about clean lines, accessible tech, and good times.
