Arbor Cavet Kids ' vs Arbor Formula

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. The Arbor Cavet Kids ' uses a twin shape while the Arbor Formula is directional twin. The Arbor Cavet Kids ' 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. The Arbor Cavet Kids ' targets intermediate riders while the Arbor Formula is aimed at advanced riders. At $229.95 vs $549.95 MSRP, the Arbor Cavet Kids ' is the more budget-friendly option.
