Mountain Gear

The Arbor Roundhouse is an advanced all-mountain board for the rider who wants to seamlessly transition from one terrain, snow condition or riding style, to another. These unique boards sport a wood top that gives each board a custom retro feel while improving performance and durability. Specifications based on size 163.

Features:

  • Biaxial and triaxial fiberglass combine for a quad-directional lay up that provides a livelier, more balanced flex pattern
  • Inlaid carbon fiber down the center of the board creates a compression strut that livens up the board's longitudinal flex
  • It has a Photofusion Protective Finish, a protective coating that is repairable and can be polished with readily available products
  • The sidwall's advanced blend of ABS and urethane provides maximum durability and edge control for carving
  • The structural bamboo topsheet has more pop & durability than fiberglass without the weight; resin locks the natural fibers into place turning the top-sheet into a structural layer resulting in a lighter, stronger, more responsive board
  • There are 2 x 4 12-pack inserts for added adjustability when mounting your bindings

An advanced all-mountain board - built wide to support larger feet, yet designed with a structural bamboo top to create an energetic, narrow-board feel.  This directional bomber delivers powerful initiation, return, and control - lap the park, slash the steeps, punch through the biggest pow turns.   

Structural Bamboo Topsheet: Bamboo veneer not only creates a clean, Zen flavor - it also works like a 3rd layer of fiberglass.  During construction resin locks the dense natural fibers in place, creating a composite layer that structurally enhances a board, providing added return and durability, while allowing for important weight reduction.   

FCS Certified Wood Cores:  All of Arbor's wood cores are made with poplar that has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council as sustainably produced.  Poplar is still the best choice as a primary wood core material due to its combination of lighter-weight performance, durability, and availability.

Great carving board (167)

Rating:*****

Sick board... seems to be holding up during a very busy season pass at Mammoth. Hit some nasty rocks early on but things are still solid. This board is planted and I get very little jumping. The integrity is solid and even though there are a few shaves, scratches, and edge damage, I know it is due to heavy and aggressive use.

arbor roundhouse

Rating:*

This is one fast board, yup, but one trip out and I have a split core and snapped an edge.. TOO lightweight for anything too heavyweight
Another boutique board with big attitude but simply can't do the the grunt.
An expensive shame.
