Arbor Cadence Rocker Womens vs K2 Afterblack

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 K2 Afterblack uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The K2 Afterblack is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. At $474.95 vs $539.95 MSRP, the Arbor Cadence Rocker Womens is the more budget-friendly option.
