2026 Arbor Mantra Decon Snowboard

Arbor Mantra Decon Snowboard – A Playful, All-Mountain Ride with Precision

The Arbor Mantra Decon brings a stripped-back, lighter feel to one of Arbor’s most accessible all-mountain designs. With a System Camber profile and a softer flex than the standard Mantra, it delivers lively edge hold and smooth, responsive handling for riders stepping confidently into bigger terrain.

The Decon construction removes extra materials to keep the ride agile and playful, making the Mantra Decon easy to press into turns and quick to react without feeling heavy underfoot. It’s a perfect match for riders building confidence across the mountain who want a board that helps progression feel natural, not forced.

Finished with Arbor’s eco-friendly materials and timeless shaping, the Mantra Decon proves that less truly can be more.

Decon Explained:
Decon boards are built with a simplified construction that removes extra layers to create a lighter, more natural flex and a more direct connection to the snow. They're designed to deliver a lively, responsive ride without sacrificing quality or performance.
