Milosport Shop Take

"If your riding style involves laying down deep carves, charging through choppy chunder, or dropping big lines over at Brighton and Snowbird, the Arbor Cypress is absolute muscle underfoot.

What makes the Cypress such a beast is Arbor’s System X Baseplate with 30% Fiberglass. That added glass content makes the chassis super rigid, so when you lean into a heel or toe turn, there’s zero delay or slop—just instant response to your edges. Plus, that two-tone Black & White colorway looks dead-clean mounted on virtually any deck on our board wall. Between the Co-Molded Ankle Strap locking you in solid and Arbor’s Bow Strap Technology keeping your ladders out of the way when stepping in, this is easily one of the most reliable, high-performance freeride bindings on the rack."

Technical Specifications

Under the Hood

• System X Baseplate with 30% Fiberglass: A stiffer, glass-reinforced chassis design that transfers energy directly from your boots out to the four corners of the binding, providing explosive edge-to-edge response and high-speed stability.

• TPE Outsole & Dual-Density EVA: Features a full TPE rubber outsole buffer beneath the binding baseplate paired with dual-density EVA footbeds. This dampens high-speed vibrations, absorbs heavy drop-in impacts, and protects your board’s topsheet from pressure dings.

• Asymmetrical Highback Design: Ergonomically contoured to match the natural angle of your lower leg, delivering maximum drive on heel-side turns while allowing comfortable lateral movement for tweaking grabs.

• Co-Molded Ankle Strap & Ultra-Grip Toe Strap: Lightweight, stitchless TPU ankle straps mold flush against any boot profile to eliminate pressure points, while the webbed toe strap grips boot toe boxes like glue.

• Bow Strap Technology & Cast Aluminum Buckles: Pre-curved strap ladders automatically swing out and away from the footbed when unbuckled for effortless step-in, anchored by rugged, smooth-ratcheting cast aluminum buckles.
