The Arbor Cypress is Arbor’s top-tier freeride snowboard binding, engineered for all-mountain riders who demand power, precision, and durability. Built around a 30% fiberglass System X baseplate with a lifetime warranty, it provides unmatched edge-to-edge response and stability across steep and variable terrain. The asymmetrical freeride-focused highbacks enhance control and leverage, while the plant-based BioStrap with Bow Strap adjuster delivers a secure, eco-conscious fit. Premium hardware like cast aluminum buckles and levers, an adjustable aluminum heel cup, and a 2x4 mini-disk mount ensure lasting durability and versatility. For comfort, the EVA footbed and 65A durometer outsole absorb chatter and impacts, making the Cypress binding ideal for riders seeking high-performance freeride capability with Arbor’s signature sustainability.

Technology Features
BioStrapArbor’s all-new, plant-based BioStrap takes the place of harmful petrol-based plastics focusing on heel lock and secure fit, with a comfortable curvature and low profile, single-injection ankle and toe straps. Stronger, lighter, more sustainable, and the first of its kind.
System X BaseplateTransfers rider input out to four heel-and-toe convergence zones, improving communication and control of your edge. Arbor's System X baseplate limits the binding’s direct contact with the board to the disk and convergence zones, creating a more natural flex underfoot, reducing binding flat spots, and eliminating rigid board contact.
Adjustable Aluminum HeelcupsMade from durable extruded aluminum. Offers amazing adjustability. Use the heelcup to center your foot and the disk to fine-tune your stance width. Lifetime warranty. Available on the Cypress, Hemlock, and Sequoia.
2x4 Mini DiskMini Disc’s require less surface area and along with the System X help provide a more organic snowboard flex underfoot. Channel compatible
Asymmetrical HighbacksAll Arbor bindings feature mounted asymmetrical highbacks with 5º pre-rotation for ergonomic feel and freedom of movement.
Fiberglass ReinforcedFiberglass reinforced buckles and levers offer added strength and durability.
EVA FootbedEVA footbed provides a lightweight dampening layer.
Bow Strap AdjusterArbor's proprietary pre-curved “Bow-Strap” adjusters & ladders actively swing away from the binding to help open the foot bed, making binding entry easy and more hands free.
65A Durometer OutsoleThe outsole is a dampening interface made from a special TPE Rubber. It integrates with the System X design, sitting between the binding and a rider’s snowboard. The outsole diffuses high–frequency chatter while providing rebound and cushion for high–impact landings.
