Description

The Arbor Hemlock Snowboard Bindings are ideal for riders taking a freestyle-first approach to their riding. Symmetrical highbacks have 5 degrees of lateral pre-rotation for maximum freedom of movement, while Arbor’s System X baseplate connects you directly to your board for improved response as you line up your next trick.

Baseplate

System XThe System X design evenly distributes a rider’s energy into their snowboard. No matter where pressure is applied to the binding, the System X allocates energy across the baseplate’s structural X shape, and out to the four cardinal points. The result is quicker, more effective control. 15% glass content for added strength and stability.

50A Durometer OutsoleThe Outsole is a dampening interface made from a special TPE rubber. The Outsole integrates with the System X design and sits between the binding and a rider’s snowboard. The Outsole diffuses high-frequency chatter while providing rebound and cushion for high-impact landings. On the Cypress, Arbor uses a slightly stiffer durometer TPE for added performance.

Adjustable Extruded Aluminum HeelcupHighly durable extruded aluminum, designed to work with the Mini-Disk for amazing adjustability. Use the highback to center the foot and the disk to fine-tune your stance width.

Fiberglass ReinforcingThe Hemlock and Sequoia, feature a 15% glass content for a softer, more forgiving ride; while the Cypress have 30% glass content for added strength and stability
