Arbor Relapse vs Arbor Verado

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Arbor Relapse leans more freestyle, while the Arbor Verado leans more backcountry. The Arbor Relapse uses a twin shape while the Arbor Verado is directional. The Arbor Relapse has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Arbor Verado uses rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The Arbor Verado is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
