Key Features

• Shape – Directional Twin
  A directional twin shape gives the Mantra a versatile resort feel with enough balance for switch riding and freestyle progression, plus a touch more support and stability when riding in your natural direction.
• Profile – System Camber
  Arbor’s System Camber combines parabolic camber with lifted contact points, giving the Mantra strong edge control, stability and pop while keeping turn initiation smoother and less catchy.
• Flex – 5–6/10
  A medium flex gives the Mantra a stronger, more responsive feel than the Mantra Decon, with enough support for confident resort riding while still feeling manageable for progression and everyday laps.

Tech Features

• Highland II Core
  Arbor’s lightweight Highland II Core uses poplar and paulownia to reduce weight while keeping the board strong, lively and responsive underfoot.
• Real Wood Powerply
  Arbor’s signature real wood topsheet adds a natural finish and reduces reliance on synthetic topsheet materials.
• Mixed Glassing
  A blend of biaxial and triaxial fibreglass gives the Mantra a balance of torsional forgiveness, response and stability for resort riding.
• Sintered Base
  A fast, durable base that holds wax well and delivers strong glide when properly maintained.
• Grip Tech 2.25mm
  Additional contact points underfoot extend 2.25mm beyond the sidecut, giving the board stronger edge hold and better control on firm, icy or scraped-out snow.
• Fender 3º
  Arbor lifts the outer contact points by 3º to create smoother turn entry, reduce edge catch and make the board more forgiving through variable resort snow.
• Bio-Plastic Topsheet
  A topsheet made with bio-based material to reduce reliance on traditional petroleum-based plastics while keeping the finish durable.
• Bio-Resin
  Arbor’s bio-based resin system reduces petroleum content while maintaining strong bonding and board durability.
• 360º Fully Wrapped Sidewalls
  Full perimeter sidewall construction improves durability and helps protect the board through everyday resort use.
• Recycled Steel Edges
  Durable steel edges made with recycled content, giving the board reliable edge hold while reducing material impact.
• Wend Natural Wax
  Factory-applied natural wax gives the board glide straight out of the wrapper.
• Factory Tuned
  Arbor detunes the tip and tail at the factory for a smoother, more forgiving feel from day one.
• 2x4 12-Pack Inserts
  A standard 2x4 insert layout with 12 insert positions for broader stance adjustment and reliable binding compatibility.
