2027 Arbor Red Gerard Pro Snowboard + Utility Binding Package

The Arbor Red Gerard Pro x Utility package is a serious freestyle setup for riders who want the good stuff and know how to use it. The Red Gerard Pro brings a powerful cambered directional twin shape, a fast sintered base and a carbon-loaded build that is made to pop hard, hold an edge and stay solid when things get fast. Pair it with the Utility and you end up with a hefty, high-response setup that feels direct from boot to board. This is for park rippers chasing the absolute best, riders sending bigger jumps, and anyone who wants to point it down the resort and trust their gear completely.

There is nothing fussy about the way this package rides. The board is powerful, lively and built to be pushed, while the Utility keeps the connection simple, stiff and supportive with its X-Base 3 platform and stripped-back two-strap design. Together they make a setup for strong riders who like their snowboard gear simple and serious: plenty of pop, plenty of grip, plenty of support, and very little getting in the way when you want to ride hard.

Snowboard

• Parabolic Camber: Full camber performance with smoother engagement towards the tip and tail, giving the board strong edge hold, plenty of pop and a more manageable feel into turns.

• Mixed Glassing: A layer of triaxial fibreglass over a layer of biaxial fibreglass, combining stronger response and stability with enough torsional flex for versatile riding.

• Sintered Base: Fast, durable base that holds wax well and is built for riders who want to keep speed across the mountain.
• 360° Wrapped Sidewalls: Fully wrapped sidewalls add durability and help protect the core from impacts and moisture.
