The 2025 Arbor Element with Rossignol Battle Bindings and is a versatile package designed for riders of all levels. Its new twin shape, inspired by the Coda, excels in the park and offers easy switch riding, while providing excellent float even on the deepest days. The fully rockered profile makes it easy to maneuver, whether you’re just starting out or are a seasoned rider. Its moderate flex ensures smooth turns through trees and moguls, and the Grip Tech delivers reliable edge hold on groomers.

Why we like it:

The Element’s standout feature is its versatility. Ideal for park laps or mountain exploration, it offers a catch-free rocker profile that suits riders of all abilities, yet it has the capability to perform when needed.

Who it's for:

The Arbor Element is a great all-around board for most riders. Heavier or more aggressive riders might prefer a board with camber for better stability on groomed trails, especially on the east coast. However, the Grip Tech helps with edge hold on harder-packed days.

Highlights:

The Element’s fully rockered profile enhances maneuverability, making it easy to navigate off-trail and providing superior float in deep snow. It’s suitable for everyone from beginners to advanced riders. The One Shot Strap on the Battle bindings provide exceptional stability both laterally and vertically transferring energy quicker and more efficiently. EVA footbeds help reduce chatter to create a smoother, damper ride in any conditions. The Mainframe Highbacks have a rigid center frame with softer sides to give you the best combination of stability and comfort without sacrificing weight.

Things to consider:

While excellent for west coast conditions, the Element may not offer the best stability and edge hold on icy east coast groomers, where a cambered board would be advantageous. Heavier, more aggressive riders might also prefer a stiffer board. The full rocker can reduce pop in the park but offers forgiveness when landing switch and minimizes edge catch.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The full rocker profile can make the board feel slightly shorter, so sizing up can provide additional stability at speed.
