Arbor Mantra vs Arbor Rain

How they compare

Both target freestyle terrain, while the Arbor Rain leans more backcountry/all mountain. They share a directional twin shape — mostly twin with a slight directional bias—versatile for all-mountain and some switch. Both feature camber profiles — arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise. The Arbor Rain is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Arbor Mantra targets beginner riders while the Arbor Rain is aimed at advanced riders. At $549.95 vs $599.95 MSRP, the Arbor Mantra is the more budget-friendly option.
