Arbor Cadence vs Arbor Formula

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Arbor Cadence leans more freestyle. The Arbor Cadence uses a twin shape while the Arbor Formula is directional twin. The Arbor Cadence has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Arbor Formula uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Arbor Formula is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. At $419.95 vs $549.95 MSRP, the Arbor Cadence is the more budget-friendly option.
