Arbor Mantra Rocker

While rated for intermediate riders, the Mantra Rocker is quite approachable. Its forgiving 4/10 flex and twin shape make it a great choice for a confident beginner looking to progress quickly without feeling overwhelmed by a stiff, demanding board.

The 3° Fenders lift the edges off the snow at the contact points, which significantly reduces the 'catchy' feel often associated with traditional camber. This makes turn initiation smoother and more forgiving, especially when you are learning to carve or navigating variable snow.

Absolutely. Because it features a true twin shape, it is perfectly capable of riding switch and handling park features. The softer flex makes it playful for presses and butters, though it remains stable enough for general mountain riding.

Yes, like all sintered bases, it is porous and designed to absorb wax. To maintain its speed and durability, you should wax it regularly, especially if you notice the base looking dry or whitish.

The Highland Core is Arbor's high-performance blend of poplar and paulownia. It is specifically designed to provide a lightweight, snappy feel without sacrificing the durability needed for all-mountain riding.
