Arbor Element vs Never Summer Swift

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Never Summer Swift leans more freeride/powder. The Arbor Element uses a directional twin shape while the Never Summer Swift 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 Never Summer Swift uses hybrid (camber/rocker) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Never Summer Swift is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Arbor Element targets intermediate riders while the Never Summer Swift is aimed at advanced riders.
