Everything about the Lib Tech Rig
Everything about the Lib Tech Rig
Step into the world of ultimate snowboarding with the Lib Tech Rig, a masterpiece designed by Austen Sweetin for hard-charging adventures in diverse terrain.
Magne-Traction is a patented technology that creates wavy edge cutting on snowboards for improved grip on icy and hard snow. These waves provide extra contact points that enhance stability and control.
"The board that can make every situation memorable. Whether you're hanging in the air, slicing through powder, or gliding over metal, it makes everything enjoyable. I always step off the board with a smile. Well, I also always smile after I've fallen, but anyway, the board is fun." - Brandon Reis.
Discover the Ultimate Snowboard Experience with the Lib Tech Rig - Created by Austen Sweetin
Austen Sweetin, a master in all terrains of snowboarding, has ridden nearly every board from Lib Tech and explored every conceivable condition - especially in powder snow. His deep knowledge of geometries and performance has led to the birth of a true powerhouse: the Lib Tech Rig. In collaboration with the experiMENTAL design team, he has combined his favorite aspects into an ultimate snowboard that is hard-charging, resort-ripper, pow-blaster, and all-terrain shredder in one.
The Lib Tech Rig, designed by Austen Sweetin, features a generous and floating nose combined with a switch-functional tail. This results in effortless floating through powder snow while providing agility for freestyle maneuvers. Deep carving sidecuts, wide waist widths, and subtle taper ensure a versatile experience, while the no-nonsense power OP chassis forms the backbone of the board. The robust and fast knifecut sintered base adds speed and durability to the mix.
The striking design is typical of Austen: understated yet visually appealing, with vibrant orange on a black background. What Austen's rig is, will become your rig - an instrument for unparalleled performance and fun on the mountain.
Lib Tech C3 camber Profile
A feature that distinguishes the Lib Tech Rig is the use of the C3 camber profile. This most aggressive shape of camber combines camber under the bindings with a slight rocker in the middle. This allows for an aggressive riding style with subtle powder float and improved edge grip. The result? Ultimate control and versatility, making this snowboard suitable for diverse riding styles and conditions.
Innovative, performance-driven, and infused with Austen Sweetin's vision, the Lib Tech Rig is the embodiment of advanced snowboarding. Whether you dive into deep powder, carve hard on the slopes, or perform freestyle tricks, the Rig is ready to take you to new heights.
