Arbor Bryan Iguchi Pro vs Never Summer Proto FR DF

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freeride terrain, while the Arbor Bryan Iguchi Pro 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 Bryan Iguchi Pro has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Never Summer Proto FR DF uses cam_rock_cam_rock_cam (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff).
