A new addition to the Lib-Tech collection for this season, the Lib-Rig is one of the most exciting boards of the year. The brainchild of all-mountain slayer Austin Sweetin, this stunning snowboard is aimed at riders looking for a high-performance board that can kill it over the whole mountain. Built around an advanced directional shape specially designed to handle every type of terrain, the Lib Rig delivers a level of performance that has you grinning from ear to ear. Whether you're hitting up bottomless powder runs, charging around the resort or even taking laps through the park, this board can demolish it all.
Rider Style: All Terrain
Intermediate to advanced all-mountain riders who are looking for a performance freeride board that you can ride every day.
Shape Overview: Directional
The Lib Rig's directional All-Mountain focussed shape utilises an innovative full-sized yet streamlined floaty nose. This clever design gives effortless float in both pow and crud, meaning those days of back leg cramps are long gone; however, because they've kept the nose width pretty compact, you get that floaty performance without adding a whole load of mass to the tip, meaning that the board still feels predictable under foot. The Lib Rig's regular to mid-width, working in harmony with the shorter tail, ensures the board feels responsive and dynamic on the piste, allowing you to drive through the turn. To further enhance the Lib Rig's piste performance, Lib-Tech fit it with their state-of-the-art Magne Traction sidecut. This innovative sidecut features seven strategically located edge serrations along the length. These add extra traction points to the edges, ensuring you get unrivalled edge hold and control.
Profile: C3 Camber
CAMBER 3: this is camber engineered for high-performance snowboarding. Very mild rocker between your feet and powerful cambers to the tips and tails. The mild rocker balances the pressure distribution from tip to tail, eliminating the "dead space" between your feet and maximising edge hold, pop, power and precision, all with the benefit of a little extra float and carve when you need it.
- Efficient tip-to-tail edge pressure distribution and control
- Central micro rocker builds in carve, edge hold and float
- Overall tip-to-tail camber builds in pop, power and stability
Construction
Internally the Lib Rig utilises Lib-Techs OP construction, headed up by the OP wood core. This durable and responsive core combines poplar and lightweight paulownia with birch stringers parallel to the side cut to deliver the perfect balance of pop and power. To this Lib Tech, add structural layers formed from tri-ax glass on the upper band and bi-ax glass on the lower band. This combination of glass allows the board's designers to dial in the perfect freestyle flex through the length with a more responsive torsional flex for when you need increased control and response.
Base: Sintered
To ensure that the Lib Rig delivers excellent performance in all conditions Lib-Tech fit it with their high-quality knife-cut sintered base.
