ABOUT ARBOR

 

Arbor started the skateboard division in 1998. For years Arbor had been turning old snowboards into skates to bomb hills when snow and surf was hard to find. Arbor rode at odd hours and freaked a few people out. In the end, those late nights launched a program that now offers a huge range of shapes for all types of skating. As you would expect, materials, shaping, art, and design all come together in the same tradition as our snowboards. Arbor Skateboards – handmade, quality woodcraft

ARBOR ACCESSORIES

Not only does Arbor comes with longboards, Arbor also provides various longboard and skateboard accessories such as wheels depending on what type of function its is use for.

 

GROOVETUBE SERIES
The Groovetube Series contains three performance downhill wheels built around proprietary shapes and our exclusive Groovetube Core. The Groovetube Core has a wider “tube” profile that allows the wheel to hold its shape where it’s supposed to and flex where it needs to. This core design greatly improves performance across a range of conditions, improving grip, roll, and slide. Though wide and supportive, the Groovetube Core is only 35mm tall, which gives you more urethane on each wheel for longer wheel life.

 

Vice 

The Vice is our offset freeride wheel. It was designed to deliver versatile slide performance at speed. Choose your line, release with ease, and conquer any surface. A stone ground finish improves slide performance right out of the box.

Groovetube

The Summit is our technical downhill wheel. The offset design and Groovetube Core work together to create a rare balance of grip and drift performance. A leaf–spring sidewall and mid–angle lip create the rebound and power needed to consistently hug the road.

EASYRIDER SERIES

The Easyrider Series is a set of three softer wheels for cruising and carving. Built using the same Sucrose Formula for long lasting performance, but with shapes that provide fun–around–town performance. The Easyrider Series is designed with a wide range of unique colors to play with when setting up custom completes.

OUTLOOK

The Outlook is a centerset cruiser wheel that’s ready to roll. At 70mm tall, this wheel is great for carving, cruising, pushing and commuting while maintaining a high roll speed smooth feel. 

 

Spud

The Spud is our center-set freeride wheel designed to conquer any terrain. Supported by our Groovetube core, the smaller 64mm tall shape and 82a urethane make this the most versatile wheel of the series. The stone ground finish makes this multi-functional wheel ready for ditch slashing, sidewalk bombing, and full steam skids.
