C2 POWER BANANA – C2BTX:
AWARD WINNING BANANA CAMBER COMBO TECH! with MAGNE-TRACTION!
C2-Power Banana is designed for aggressive all terrain freestyle riders and features Banana Tech rocker between your feet combined with camber at each end of the board. This Banana Camber combination offers the best features of Banana Tech…float in powder in both directions, carving on hardpack and ice and a catchfree freestyle performance with the best features of camber…end to end stability, and extra pop for strong aggressive riders. C2 Banana Tech is perfect for aggressive freestyle riders who demand pop power and tip to tail stability for critical lines, landings and takeoffs. Travis rode his everywhere from backyards, to Alaska to winning the X Games big air….

BANANA TECHNOLOGY – BTX:
A SNOWBOARD IS NOT A SKI.
BANANA TECHNOLOGY WITH MAGNE-TRACTION IS SNOWBOARD GEOMETRY.
Lib Tech Banana Tech is designed for unlimited freestyle use all over the mountain: Jibbing, pipe, pow, park, ice, steeps, etc. Lib Tech’s all terrain freestyle snowboard specific geometries met with overwhelming success in ‘09 board tests…Banana Tech- “rocker between your feet” – and Magne-Traction -strategically located serrated edges- are revolutionary departures from traditional ski based, one pressure point, camber snowboard designs…Both designs are premised on the fact that snowboarders ride with two feet on one board in a wide, stable freestyle stance…Magne-Traction improves edgehold, and Banana completely reworks the snowboard pressure map…full edge contact is maintained but edge pressure is now focused between and at your feet, the board is pre-bent into a natural turning arc and the tips and tails are less weighted for lift, deflection and catch free jib insanity…Banana-Mag snowboards are easier to ride everywhere for everyone… The Future is Bananas!

MAGNE-TRACTION – MTX:
Replaces “two contact point” ski theory. Conventional skis and snowboards have two contact points. Our Magne-Traction boards have seven! Seven is more than two. With Magne-Traction, when your two outside contact points lose grip, you’ve still got five more to take over. You won’t fall as much. Rides like a skateboard. Control and turn initiation come from under your feet, not a foot and a half to either side of your feet. Better edge hold. Climbs icy pipes! Turns ice into powder!
-All Models with the exception of the Phoenix Series Multi-Step

SNOWBOARD SPECIFIC SHAPES and CONTOURS:
Shaping snowboards should not just be something that ski engineers do in their spare time. And at Lib Technologies we have elevated snowboard design to a new art form, blending science, artistry and magic into tangible objects. Words cannot do justice to these incredible works of art, but below is the closest we can come to describing them in the standardized language of snowboard design:
PERFECT TWINS:
Absolutely perfect twin geometry, tried and true science with MTX, or the added advantage of new Banana Technology.

HARMONIC TWIN GEOMETRIES:
The ultimate combination of 3 Geometrical Elements:
Elliptical rocker, Elliptical core profile & Elliptical side-cut, all blended in harmony to maximize control and energy with the ultimate pop. Super fun and predictable all over the mountain and blasting thru the park.
-TRS, Skunk Ape
ENHANCED DIRECTIONAL TWINS:
Effortless freestyle and freeride geometry. Twin chassis (from contact to contact) but with an ever so slightly longer nose than tail. Floats on powder and blasts thru crud, a Twin with an advantage.
-Dark Series, Phoenix
MAGICAL TWINS:
There simply are no words to define this creation, we can only give a list of ingredients and a physical dimension, for that is all that can be quantified in this world.
-Banana Magic
DIRECTIONAL PROGRESSIVE:
Tips float effortlessly in pow. Directional shapes focused on riding forward into the future. Great for Traditionalists with an edge.
-Powder Mullet
ECO MATERIALS:
BIO-PLASTIC BEANS: DROP BEANS NOT BOMBS!
ExperiMENTAL division leader Mike Olson loves beans! When he’s not eating them he’s buying plastics made with them. Lib Tech has made a commitment to using a new earth friendly, bio-plastic top skin made from beans that features the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any top sheet in the industry. While there is clearly still the need to invade small, helpless, oil producing countries for money and power, this new age of bio-plastics offers hope of a more peaceful and fruity future!

GOLDEN FLEECE:
We now look forward to a day when fiberglass is no longer an ingredient of Lib Tech snowboards. There are several dangerous elements, such as boron and others, used to produce fiberglass. Basalt is produced in a clean, pure process consisting of high heat and absent of toxic additives. Not only is it safer for humans, it’s easier to recycle. Basalt fiber has strength properties much higher than fiberglass and better damping properties for a smooth ride.

QUAD-AXIAL TORSION BOX:
The fiberglass backbone of the board. Triax top glass wraps around the core and bonds to biaxial bottom glass creating a “torsion box”. This fiberglass box structure is very strong and responsive. Built into all korrect kap Lib’s. Pop!

KINK:
Transition ease. A kinked tail is a tail curve derived from a kink. A smooth mellow entry floats over all obstacles, kink aggressivly changes tip angle allowing maximum height be reached quickly. This allows a shorter, lighter board with an equal tip height. Great for climbing walls or tech switch landings.
