Flex rating – 3 (1 Soft - 5 Stiff)

System X – The 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 Outsole – The 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 Heelcup – Highly 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 Reinforcing – The 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

EVA Footbed

Tool-less Forward Lean Adjustment

Hemlock 2 Asymmetrical Highbacks with 5° Lateral Pre-Rotation

BioStraps – Arbor’s plant-based BioStrap takes the place of harmful petrol-based plastics focusing on heel lock and secure fit, with a comfortable curvature and low profile, single-injection ankle strap. Stronger, lighter, more sustainable, and the first of its kind

Bow-Strap Adjuster – Arbor's patented "Bow-Strap" adjuster and ladder strap swings out of the way quickly and easily, making binding entry a simple, user-friendly experience. The pre-curved strap steers clear of your boot while maintaining form and durability in even the coldest conditions

Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon Buckles and Levers

Cast Aluminum Buckles and Levers – Offering ultra-reliable performance with long-term durability and a tighter, stronger click for an unparalleled boot-to-binding connection

2x4 Universal Mini-Disc – Mini-Disks require less surface area and along with the System X help provide a more organic snowboard flex underfoot. They are channel compatible
