Arbor Element vs Arbor Single

How they compare

the Arbor Element leans more all mountain, while the Arbor Single leans more powder. The Arbor Element uses a directional twin shape while the Arbor Single is directional. The Arbor Element has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Arbor Single uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). Both are rated 5/10 flex (medium). At $549.95 vs $559.95 MSRP, the Arbor Element is the more budget-friendly option.
