2026 Arbor Metal Machine Snowboard
The 2026 Arbor Metal Machine is a true twin camber hammer built for riders who spend their days lapping the park, hunting side hits, and stacking clips in the streets.

A mid-soft 5–6 flex gives it the perfect mix of pressability and pop, while the Highland II Core and Sintered Base add strength and speed for riders who hit features hard. Whether you’re locking rails, spinning off side hits, or smashing spots, the Metal Machine delivers the durability and attitude to keep you riding all season long.
