The Arbor Hemlock snowboard binding is built for freestyle riders who want a softer yet highly responsive binding for park, street, and all-mountain riding. Designed with the Hemlock 2 asymmetrical highback and a 15% fiberglass System X baseplate (backed by a lifetime warranty), it delivers balanced flex and support while keeping things playful. The plant-based BioStrap with Bow Strap adjuster ensures a snug and eco-friendly fit, while the adjustable aluminum heel cup and cast aluminum buckles and levers add strength and durability. Mounted with a 2x4 mini disk, the Hemlock offers versatile stance options. For impact absorption and comfort, it features an EVA footbed paired with a 50A durometer outsole, making it a go-to choice for intermediate to advanced freestyle riders who demand performance with flex.

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.
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.
EVA FootbedEVA footbed provides a lightweight dampening layer.
50A 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.
