Expert reviews 1
A women's all-mountain board that puts a tapered directional shape on a C2 Directional hybrid. Carving satisfaction and ice edge hold are its strengths, and landings are forgiving despite the stiff construction. It's heavy, lacks playfulness and takes effort to initiate turns, though. It suits upper-intermediate riders who prioritise carving and control on groomed slopes.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid rocker
Lib Tech C2 Directional — a rocker-dominant hybrid with rocker between the feet and camber under each foot, topped with a tapered directional shape. Thanks to Magnetraction, edge hold on icy snow is especially good. It uses an extruded (ECO SUBLIMATED TNT) base.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
7 out of 10, on the stiff side. It's weighted toward control and edge hold, and despite the stiffness landings are forgiving. In exchange, initiating turns takes more effort than on a soft board.
Where it shines
