The Arbor Hemlock Snowboard Bindings are ideal for riders taking a freestyle-first approach to their riding. Symmetrical highbacks have 5 degrees of lateral pre-rotation for maximum freedom of movement, while Arbor's System X baseplate connects you directly to your board for improved response as you line up your next trick. Product Details Flex: Flex rating: 3 (1 Soft - 5 Stiff) Baseplate: System X: The System X design evenly distributes a rider's energy into their snowboard. No matter where pressure is applied to the binding, the System X allocates energy across the baseplate's structural X shape, and out to the four cardinal points. The result is quicker, more effective control. 15% glass content for added strength and stability. 50A Durometer Outsole: The Outsole is a dampening interface made from a special TPE rubber. The Outsole integrates with the System X design and sits between the binding and a rider's snowboard. The Outsole diffuses high-frequency chatter while providing rebound and cushion for high-impact landings. On the Cypress, Arbor uses a slightly stiffer durometer TPE for added performance. Adjustable Extruded Aluminum Heelcup: Highly durable extruded aluminum, designed to work with the Mini-Disk for amazing adjustability. Use the highback to center the foot and the disk to fine-tune your stance width. Fiberglass Reinforcing: The Hemlock and Sequoia, feature a 15% glass content for a softer, more forgiving ride; while the Cypress have 30% glass content for added strength and stability EVA Footbed Highback: Tool-less Forward Lean Adjustment Hemlock 2 Asymmetrical Highbacks with 5° Lateral Pre-Rotation Straps: BioStraps: Arbor’s plant-based BioStrap takes the place of harmful petrol-based plastics focusing on heel lock and secure fit, with a comfortable curvature and low profile, single-injection ankle strap. Stronger, lighter, more sustainable, and the first of its kind. Bow-Strap Adjuster: Arbor's patented "Bow-Strap" adjuster and ladder strap swings out of the way quickly and easily, making binding entry a simple, user-friendly experience. The pre-curved strap steers clear of your boot while maintaining form and durability in even the coldest conditions. Buckles: Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon Buckles and Levers Cast Aluminum Buckles and Levers: Offering ultra-reliable performance with long-term durability and a tighter, stronger click for an unparalleled boot-to-binding connection. Additional Features: 2x4 Universal Mini-Disc: Mini-Disks require less surface area and along with the System X help provide a more organic snowboard flex underfoot. They are channel compatible.
