Binding Technology
Arbor designed a binding collection to enhance performance, utility, and rider-friendly features. Engineered to seamlessly integrate with The System technologies, these bindings are not only optimized for Arbor snowboards—but developed to improve the control of any snowboard. The same craftsmanship ethos that defines the Arbor snowboard line is further reflected throughout the binding collection.
Arbor Bindings Feature The System X Design
-
System X Baseplate
Transfers rider input out to four heel-and-toe convergence zones, improving communication and control of your edge. Our System X baseplate limits the binding’s direct contact with the board to the disk and convergence zones, creating a more natural flex underfoot, reducing binding flat spots, and eliminating rigid board contact.
-
System X Outsole
The outsole is a dampening interface made from a special TPE Rubber. It integrates with the System X design, sitting between the binding and a rider’s snowboard. The outsole diffuses high–frequency chatter while providing rebound and cushion for high–impact landings.
