ELEMENT MEN'S SNOWBOARD - 2025
It looks a little different – but the legend lives. The Element has been Arbor’s definition of freeride / all-mountain for over twenty years. And new for this 24/25 update, it inherits what was the Coda’s shape to give it upgraded mountain twin performance while maintaining its System Rocker parabolic shaping and Grip Tech contact points, making it a modern classic for resort riding rocker profile enthusiasts.
SHAPE
- Directional Twin
- System Rocker Profile: Parabolic profiling is a unique shaping technique that replaces the single radius arc found in traditional camber or rocker, with a more advanced parabolic profile. The design blends five separate radii to create a parabolic arc, which gradually reduces the amount of rocker or camber toward the tip and tail. On System Rocker shapes, the design lowers the leading edge to improve edge hold.
- Grip Tech: Added heel and toe contact points under foot improve grip in icy and variable conditions.
CONSTRUCTION
- 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.
- Highland II Core: A 10 / 20 blend of Poplar and Paulownia for a lighter, more responsive version of the Highland Core.
- Sintered Base: A higher molecular weight, sintered base that provides added durability and speed.
- Mixed Glassing: A triax over biax lay-up that’s best for versatility: pow, backcountry, groomers, jumps, and more.
- Inserts: 2x4 14 Pack Inserts
- 360° Rails: A 360–degree, fully wrapped sidewall that 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.
- Recycled Steel Edges: Highly durable, recycled steel edges embody two of Arbor’s key values: quality and sustainability.
- Bio-Resin: A replacement for traditional petroleum-based resin that doesn’t affect performance or usability. The ingredients that go into Bio-Resin 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%.
