Arbor Draft vs Ride Kink

How they compare

Both target freestyle terrain, while the Ride Kink leans more all mountain. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. 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 Ride Kink uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). Both are rated 3/10 flex (soft). The Arbor Draft targets intermediate riders while the Ride Kink is aimed at advanced riders.
