Arbor Carbon Coda vs Never Summer Swift

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freeride terrain, while the Never Summer Swift 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 Carbon Coda has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Never Summer Swift uses hybrid (camber/rocker) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff). At $699.95 vs $699.99 MSRP, the Arbor Carbon Coda is the more budget-friendly option.
