2014 Abacus Splitboard Video Review

The Specs: 

Finally, the Arbor splitboard that you've been demanding has arrived. The Abacus is part of Arbor's Roots Collection and designed from the ground up as a highly versatile backcountry slayer. The Abacus comes complete with reverse camber, which gives you all the float-over dominance you could want in powder while also providing the perfect amount of snow contact for smooth "on-skin" performance. The setup is exceptionally light for a splitboard, so it's manageable and maneuverable in all types of backcountry terrain. The playful deck also comes with Karakoram hardware so switching from a split to a solid can be accomplished with ease. The Abacus is a perfect entry level split for riders who are ready to start exploring sidecountry and backcountry terrain. 

Reviewer's Insight: "This board is for any intermediate or above average boarder looking for a split that is stiff enough that it isn't noodily, yet rockered and soft enough to give a playful ride. The turns seemed to link effortless, and I could hardly tell I was on a split."
