2026 Arbor Metal Machine Snowboard

Arbor Metal Machine Snowboard – Built for the Park and Street

The Arbor Metal Machine Snowboard is a pure, no-nonsense board designed to dominate the park and street spots. With its aggressive, twin shape and traditional camber profile, this board is all about popping, pressing, and locking into clean lines. It's built for riders who want the raw, high-performance feel of a classic park board, without any distractions.

The Metal Machine doesn’t mess around. It’s got a traditional camber profile for maximum pop and stability, letting you carve, ollie, and press with confidence. The twin shape ensures that whether you're going frontside or backside, the ride is balanced and responsive. Its simple, low-tech design means you get the essentials—performance, durability, and style—all wrapped up in a board that’s ready for the next feature or trick.

Key Features

• Shape – True Twin
  A fully symmetrical twin shape gives the Metal Machine the same feel riding regular or switch, making it built for park laps, rails, jumps and freestyle-focused resort riding.
• Profile – Parabolic Camber
  Arbor’s parabolic camber gradually reduces towards the contact points, giving the board pop, precision and edge control while keeping the ride smoother and more manageable than a harsher full camber shape.
• Flex – 5–6/10
  A medium flex gives the Metal Machine more support and response than the Decon version, with enough stability for confident take-offs, landings and resort riding while still keeping it playful enough for freestyle progression.

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 Inlay
  Thin layers of real wood are built into the topsheet, adding Arbor’s natural finish and reducing reliance on synthetic topsheet materials.
• Mixed Glassing
  A blend of biaxial and triaxial fibreglass gives the board a balance of torsional forgiveness, response and stability for park and resort riding.
• Sintered Base
  A fast, durable base that holds wax well and delivers strong glide when properly maintained.
• 360º Fully Wrapped Sidewalls
  Full perimeter sidewall construction improves durability and helps protect the board through regular park and 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.
• Manufactured with 100% Solar Energy
  Built in a facility powered by 100% solar energy, reducing the production footprint of the board.
