Arbor Draft vs Arbor Formula

How they compare

the Arbor Draft leans more freestyle, while the Arbor Formula leans more all mountain. The Arbor Draft uses a twin shape while the Arbor Formula is directional twin. The Arbor Draft 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 $399.95 vs $419.95 MSRP, the Arbor Formula is the more budget-friendly option.
