Arbor Cadence Rocker Womens vs Arbor Metal Machine

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain and freestyle riding. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. The Arbor Cadence Rocker Womens has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Arbor Metal Machine uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Arbor Metal Machine is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. At $474.95 vs $519.95 MSRP, the Arbor Cadence Rocker Womens is the more budget-friendly option.
