The Lib Tech “Lib Rig” is a result of the extensive experience of pro snowboarder Austen Sweetin. He rigorously tested various boards across a broad range of conditions, particularly deep powder. He fine-tuned his favorite features to craft an exceptional board for both resort and backcountry.
The Lib Rig is an all-mountain directional snowboard designed for serious riders ho seek a versatile and robust board. Check it out on Tactics or on Evo.
The board design features a large, buoyant nose and a versatile tail that performs well even when riding switch. Its deep sidecuts prevent toe drag, enhancing maneuverability, while its mild taper and optimized waist widths ensure a responsive ride without sacrificing stability.
The Lib Rig is built on the robust and reliable OP chassis and complemented by a durable and fast sintered base that holds wax well, resulting in smoother rides.
the Lib Rig gas a C3 Camber Rocker Profile which includes a mild rocker between the feet and pronounced camber towards the tips.
This offers an exceptional blend of edge hold, stability at high speeds, and responsive control for freestyle maneuvers in powder and varied terrain.
The core construction includes 75% Aspen and 25% Paulownia for a balance of lightness, environmental friendliness, and strength.
For laminates, the bi-axial layer provides snap and reduces chatter, whereas the tri-axial layer amplifies responsiveness and dampens vibrations for a smooth and stable ride. The board’s top sheet is made from sublimated polyester with cool graphics.
The base of the Lib Rig is a sintered knife-cut type known for durability and wax retention. Unique to Lib Tech boards is the Magne-Traction technology, with multiple contact points along the edges for superior grip on hardpack and ice.
Internally, birch sidewalls add resilience and pop, while the ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) sintered sidewalls enhance durability and rider control.
The Lib Rig is often praised as an all-terrain slayer, with an ideal flex for resort powder. It’s capable of handling deep snow with agility while providing ample pop and stability in tracked conditions.
Riders praise its quick edge transitions, impressive float, stability at speed, pop, and responsiveness. It’s a great board for powder and high-speed carving.
The Lib Rig offers a more aggressive stance compared to the BRD and Dynamo, with a focus on speed and dynamic riding.
Taller riders often wish for a longer model catering to taller riders.
