Arbor Skateboards Cypress

These bindings are designed specifically for freeride and big-mountain riding. They excel when you need high-speed stability and precise control while navigating steep, technical terrain or deep snow.

The System X baseplate in this edition features double the fiberglass reinforcement compared to standard models. This creates a much stiffer platform that maximizes power transfer from your legs to the board, which is essential for aggressive riding.

Likely, yes. Because these are built for high-speed, big-mountain performance, they prioritize stiffness and responsiveness over comfort and forgiveness. If you are still learning to link turns or prefer a more playful, flexible feel, you might find them overly demanding.

The stiffer highback provides superior lateral support, which helps you maintain control when you are carving at high speeds or landing larger features. It reduces the amount of energy lost during turns, allowing for more immediate board response.

The System X baseplate is designed to be compatible with standard 4x4 mounting patterns. If you are using a channel system, you will need to ensure you have the appropriate mounting discs, which are often sold separately.
