Lib Tech T.Rice Golden Orca 157 2023 Snowboard no color
Description
Travis Rice took the original Orca board and developed it further into a high-performance snowboard for freestyle riding in the backcountry. The Golden Orca's long nose and tail provide massive lift which is ideal for switch takeoffs and landings in deep powder. The directional C2 profile offers stability when shredding in the resort or for fast turns in steep terrain. Riding style Backcountry/Freestyle for advanced riders - do you see untouched powder slopes as a snow park with unlimited possibilities? Then this is the right board for you. Shape The tapered directional shape is perfect for all-mountain and freeriding. The nose is wider than the tail for controlled turns in any terrain. The additional setback of the bindings gives the board a lot of uplift in powder. The Magne-Traction® technology provides improved edge hold with serrated edges. Especially on icy slopes they unfold their full potential. Profile The C2x profile comes with a short rocker between the bindings combined with a large camber underneath the bindings. This combination offers a good edge hold thanks to the camber areas, as well as good lift and unlimited freestyle action without catching an edge thanks to the rocker. Flex The medium-stiff flex ensures precise control and fast board response. Construction The Firepower construction is the ultimate construction design from Lib Tech: lighter, more environmentally friendly and smoother. The core is made of 50 % aspen and 40 % paulownia for reduced weight with less vibration. 10 % balsa wood additionally reduces the weight. The sintered Eco Sublimated base is very fast, but requires careful maintenance. The topsheet is made from eco-sublimated organic beans. The UHMW sintered sidewalls are another innovation from Lib Tech. The double sintered construction allows for a waterproof, strong and durable construction without toxic ABS. Due to the non-continuous edges on the tip and tail, these areas are protected from damage by the UHMW Tip/Tail Impact Deflection System.
