Arbor Sucrose Initiative Highlands
by LNV

Sucrose Initiative 2018

New wheels and new tech. We outline a brief history of the Sucrose Initiative and the latest on their 2018 lineup.

Sucrose Initiative is Arbor Skateboard’s stand alone wheel program. They produce wheels using environmentally friendly materials that simultaneously improve the quality of the wheel while reducing the petroleum footprint of production and long term environmental impact from use. What happens to those ‘thane lines afterall?

Arbor recently refreshed the Sucrose Initiative for late 2018. The lineup now features fiberglass reinforced cores and two new wheels – Axel Serrat’s pro model and the Highlands.
