2025 Lib Tech Apex Orca Snowboard
2025 Lib Tech Apex Orca Snowboard
Nobody tells an 8,000 lb. sea mammal what it is or isn't going to have for lunch and the same applies to the fresh new Lib Tech Apex Orca Snowboard. If it happens to be a 50 degree face with massive mandatory air, so much the better. Featuring the new Techno Pop construction with tip to tail unidirectional carbon fiber and massive Mega X Carbon reinforcements emanating from the binding mount areas backing up a core of Aspen, Paulownia and recycled plastic bottles, the Apex Orca is ready to make a feast of any slope you point it at.
Rocker Type
C2X – A shorter, more aggressive banana rocker combined with cambers that sit more underfoot. Extra solid tip and tail pressure for power, pop, precision and end-to-end stability combined with a medium amount of pressure between your feet for carving, edge hold on ice and float in pow
Flex
Medium - Stiff – Stout enough to charge your hardest but without excessive harshness
Shape
Volume Shifted – Ride this board 3-6 cm shorter than your normal board
Lightweight Spin Slim Tip / Tail
Core
Techno Pop Construction – Core: 30% Aspen / 25% Paulownia / 45% PET (recycled plastic bottles) Glass: Unidirecitonal carbon with 30˚ Carbon Mega X / Magnesium Techno Fiber Bands
Laminates
Spread Toe Carbon – Flattened widely aligned carbon fibers maximize strength, minimize weight and eliminate potential stress/break points associated with woven carbon fabrics. Light, strong and responsive
33° Carbon Mesh – Light strong, lively carbon fiber oriented to maximize torsional response from control points to contacts points for maximum performance
S-Glass Strips – High silica content glass fiber that has high tensile strength, high elastic modulus great overall strength to weight properties
Triaxial Fiberglass – 0° x 45° x 45° oriented fiber combination creates the perfect balance of torsional responsiveness and overall flex performance
Anti Matter – Travis pushed Mervin's experiMental division for less weight, and they gave him Apex performance: 3-D carbon reinforced absence of matter in the tip and tail, reducing spin weight
