The Lib Tech ExperiMENTAL Division has been secretly developing "Banana Technology" for the past two years and has arrived at another major step in the development / evolution of a truly functional snowboard geometry.
Banana Technology, like Magne-Traction before it, begins with the premise that a snowboard is not a ski. Banana Technology replaces camber with rocker "banana" between your feet. When you stand on your board, pressure is now applied inward to the edge area at and between your feet as your weight presses out the rocker. The Banana Technology flex pattern is slightly stiffened at the tip and tail to increase pop and stability on big landings.
Magne-Traction is incorporated into the Banana Technology (as it should be on every freestyle snowboard) to improve edgehold and put even more control underfoot at your balance point. The end result is a board that is loose and catch-free, presses boxes, rails and jibs extremely well with the preset rocker, maintains pop with a stiffened tip and tail, and turns easily on hardpack when the built in rocker is put on edge. The built in rocker curve makes the board float naturally in powder switch and normal with a centered park stance. The firm nose and tail prevent the board from folding in chunky conditions. The future is Bananas!
- Ride your board de-tuned for the park and rails and still get great edge hold all over the mountain
- Shave ice into powder
- Turn better - Fall less
