Lib Tech Orca Split snowboard

Your favorite power fish has just been filleted into a fast climbing adventure vehicle. A long floaty nose and wide body float pow efficiently and effortlessly. The powerful poppy contact maximizing “whale tail technology” maneuvers with agility in steep or tight technical terrain and hooks up solidly when things get tight and icy out there. Built in our ultralight SC construction with FSC certified aspen and paulownia core, this Orca moves well through gravitational forces. A rugged, fast sintered base, 3-D integrated tip inserts and updated Karakoram UltraClip 2.0 round out this whale of a split board.

SPLIT ORCA VOLUME SHIFT: 3CM REDUCTION FROM YOUR NORMAL BOARD SIZING

• THE ULTIMATE DIRECTIONAL PILLOW BLASTER SPLIT
• POW AND BACKCOUNTRY
• NOW WITH KARAKORAM ULTRACLIP 2.0 AND TIP-LOCKS ACTIVE JOINING

C2X
Similar to C2, but with more rocker between the feet and more aggressive camber underfoot. More float and turning ease while still having a snappy feel and plenty of edge grip. More pressure on the tip and tail means more stability, pop and control.

Thin Tip and Tails
A thinner tip and tail, resulting in a lower swing rate and less weight in your board.

CORE

Splitboard Construction
Splitboard Construction was made to go into the backcountry. This core needed to be light and strong. The core consists of: 95% Paulownia and 5% Aspen. Two layers of tri-ax fiberglass with basalt webbing provide torsional stiffness and cushioning on those occasions when you're not in hip-deep powder. A core you can trust on the way down in changing terrain, but is also light enough when touring.

REINFORCEMENTS

Basalt Fiberglass Combo
A combination fibre of basalt and fibreglass. The Basalt provides absorbency and better cushioning. The fibreglass makes the board even livelier and provides pop.

TOPSHEET

Eco Sublimated Bio-Plastic Beans Top
Lib Tech has set the goal of being the greenest snowboard brand on earth. Bio-plastic is made from Castor beans, also known as wonder beans. This Eco-friendly material is very light, scratch-resistant and water- and snow-repellent.

BASE

Sintered Knife Cut Base
This is Lib Tech's sintered base. This base is fast, durable and absorbent. Like other sintered bases, the wax absorbs quickly, improving your glide.

SIDEWALL & EDGES

Magne-traction
Lib Tech is the inventor of Magne-Traction. Magne-Traction is a slight undulation in the steel edge. Like a serrated knife cutting through bread, Magne-Traction cuts through snow. This gives the board extra grip in icy and hard conditions. When conditions soften, this causes a loss of speed.

Birch Internal Sidewall
The internal sidewalls are reinforced with Birch. This gives you a better response and more control. It also reduces the chance of a 'fatal' impact on your steel side.

UHMW Sintered Sidewall
Very strong, waterproof and light sidewall that bends well with the flex of your board. No environmentally unfriendly ABS!

UHMW Tip/Tail Impact Deflection
It is mainly the tip and tail that suffer damage while using your board. By using UHMWPE in the tip and tail, you prevent this damage and possible delamination. The steel edge of Lib tech boards therefore does not extend further than a few cm beyond the contact points.

SPLITBOARD TECH

Karakoram Ultra Clips
This Ultra Clip provides an active connection between board halves. A light and strong clip, with which you no longer have to worry about rattling. Adjustable, so there is still compression even after years of use.
