Arbor Flagship Axis 40 Brown/Red Complete Longboard

The Arbor Flagship Axis 40 is a snowboard-inspired drop-through longboard built for smooth cruising, relaxed commutes and mellow downhill riding. Its longer 40-inch deck and generous 30.75-inch wheelbase create a stable platform that encourages flowing turns and a composed ride at speed.

Finished with premium Palisander wood top and bottom layers, the Axis 40 pairs natural timber character with a carefully matched setup of Paris reverse-kingpin trucks and Arbor Easyrider Outlook wheels.

Who It's For

For riders who want a longer drop-through longboard for commuting, cruising, carving and mellow downhill. The 40-inch shape offers a little more room and wheelbase than the Axis 37, favouring a stable, flowing ride.

Technical Breakdown

Drop-through platform: Mounting the trucks through the deck lowers the standing height and gives the board a planted feel that suits pushing and carving.

8-ply sustainable Canadian maple: The Axis 40 uses an 8-ply maple construction with premium Palisander wood topsheet and bottomsheet. Arbor sources wood sustainably and reclaims wood by-products.

Paris Reverse 50° 180mm trucks: Reverse-kingpin trucks chosen for controlled, flowing turns.

Arbor Easyrider Outlook wheels: 69mm / 78A wheels with a 44mm contact patch and zero offset. Their soft Venice Formula provides grip, and the Momentum Core helps dampen bumps.

Complete hardware: ABEC 7 bearings with spacers and Recycled Glass Re-Grit grip.
