It says AR6 on them but if you read it is says they are Ar5's with new graphics... Can you explain this to me a little bit. Sorry if this is a stupid questions.

its not a stupid question, it is the ar5 construction w. 82 mm. waist while the ar6 has a 84 mm waist, the ar6 is different construction (i believe more flexible) and obviously fatter more while more park intended. I prefer the ar6 but many prefer the ar5 because of it better carving on the groomers. ar6 is def. better out west, but either are great on the east. I prefer the ar6 grafics too. So do some research on which you would prefer and if you like the ar5's I would buy these ones because they may be somewhat rare.

kinda, all armada did was press a tonne of the Ar5 cores(80mm underfoot, not 82) with this years graphic. So, all it is is last years ar5, but you can claim its this years
