Arbor A-Frame vs Arbor Verado

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Arbor A-Frame leans more powder. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Arbor A-Frame has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Arbor Verado uses rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The Arbor A-Frame targets expert riders while the Arbor Verado is aimed at advanced riders. At $619.95 vs $639.95 MSRP, the Arbor A-Frame is the more budget-friendly option.
