Arbor Padre vs Arbor Veda

How they compare

the Arbor Padre leans more backcountry/all mountain, while the Arbor Veda leans more freestyle.

The Arbor Padre targets advanced riders while the Arbor Veda is aimed at beginner riders. At $579.95 vs $599.95 MSRP, the Arbor Padre is the more budget-friendly option.
