About the Arbor Hemlock
This is Frank April's colourway edition, renown for his freestyle ability and brings his colourful lifestyle to this awesome binding. The 2021 Arbor Hemlock snowboard binding is perfect for every on mountain endeavor. Lap the park, take it to the streets or simply blast all over the mountain with these excellent do-it-all binding.
The Hemlock version of the exclusive X–Drive Baseplate uses 15% fiberglass content. This provides a much softer flex, perfect for progressing riders or for urban assaults and park laps for the advanced riders. The X-Drive design also enhances performance by efficiently transferring and evenly distributing rider input to a snowboard. No matter where the pressure is applied to the binding, the X–Drive allocates energy across the baseplates structural X shape out to the four contact points.
The Hemlock binding has a light, stiff and laterally supportive asymmetrical highback. These Low–mounted highbacks allow a rider’s boot to slide in clean, with 5° pre–rotation to provide a more ergonomic feel and freedom of movement when riding. These highbacks will sit more naturally against the shape of your boot and will provide more efficient energy transfer and comfort.
Arbor's Bow Strap adjusters and ladders are pre curved to actively drop out of the way, so you can get into the binding easier than ever before. For added custom support the Aluminum Heelcup is adjustable, this will help you fine tune your stance width for a more comfortable ride and the EVA footbed design provides comfort and durability.
All this technology translates into a comfortable, forgiving yet supportive all-mountain freestyle binding that can handle everything from fast morning groomers to big park booters.
