Speaking of ARMADA, every time a new season begins, fans are excited to see what the next ARV will be like. Last season (24-25), the ARV112 and ARV106 underwent full model changes, and this 2025-2026 season has seen even greater evolution of both models
First of all, let's listen to what staff member Junhiro Murai has to say!
For the 2025-2026 season, the development team at ARMADA in the USA has seriously created the ARV112 and ARV106 to win in the freeride world. What changes have they made? Anyway, the best thing to do is watch this video
The specs of the three models shown in the video are as follows:
ARV112
The 2025-2026 ARV112 is an evolution of the legendary JJ, and represents the pinnacle of the ARV collection. With a 112mm waist and long, low rocker in the tip and tail, it offers exceptional float and maneuverability, even in deep powder. The poplar core and full edge wrap construction provide stability and carving ability at high speeds. This unbeatable freestyle powder ski supports the most aggressive riding styles of any athlete
ARV106 CLEAN
This board has been completely redesigned from its predecessor. The tip and tail are more flexible than the previous model, and the longer, lower rocker in the tip and tail improves float and pressing performance in powder. The poplar core and "W3DGEWALL" construction provide firm grip on hard surfaces and comfortable carving. The 106mm waist width makes this a board you can rely on in any situation or condition
W3DGEWALL is a 3D injection-molded sidewall that is mechanically bonded to the wood core in the mold during ski manufacturing by angled joints, resulting in a stronger, more uniform bond between the sidewall and wood core. By using more material in key areas to increase durability and adding a 3D taper to the tip and tail, W3DGEWALL improves edge grip while reducing weight, creating a ski that can withstand more rigorous use
ARV106 Ti
This ARV106 model is equipped with "TI" (Titanal) for enhanced freeride performance. ATB-X technology eliminates metal at the ends of the ski and distributes it around the base of the ski, allowing for free tip and tail movement in powder and soft snow, while providing a concentrated damping feeling and solid grip underfoot on hard surfaces
The '25-26 ARV collection features two different graphics
The ARV series has long been known for its colorful, bold, and artistic graphics, but for the 2025-2026 season, two new designs will be released: one with artistic decorations by MADSTEEZ, and the other, ARV CLEAN, a cool and beautiful black-based design
The catalog states that the world depicted by MADSTEEZ "pays homage to Armada's two major homes in Utah and Innsbruck," and when you line up the six size variations (84, 88, 94, 100, and 112 cm) side by side, a single artwork emerges, as you can see. Furthermore, among the "eyes" depicted on each model are those of the legendary JP Auclair, who co-founded ARMADA with Tanner Hall
