25/26 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
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.

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
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.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
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.
