The Climax is what happens when you tell Travis Rice he can have anything he wants
Travis is constantly searching for higher performance in both his riding and his equipment. The Climax is the spawn of the world’s best rider converging with the world’s best board builders’ 30 plus years of board design. A glorious design moment where precision, smoothness, lightweight, pop and power join forces to create the pure performance.
Riding Style
This board is designed for advanced riders who like to charge big lines and won’t shy away from a massive air that comes up on their path while demanding the highest quality possible in material, processing, and performance.
Shape
This directional twin provides you with some extra float in the powder and excellent switch riding capabilities. Due to the setback of the bindings towards the tail, the nose gets a little bit longer. However, the nose and the tail are equally wide, so landing switch is no problem. The Magne-Traction serrated edges give great edge hold all over the mountain, especially on hard pack and ice.
Profile
C2x means short rocker between the bindings combined with large cambers under the bindings. This combination offers good edge hold thanks to the camber underfoot, as well as great float in powder and unlimited freestyle action without hang-ups thanks to the rocker.
Flex
The medium-stiff flex provides stability at high speeds and insane amounts of control while offering you the power and flexibility you need to stomp the biggest cliffs.
Construction
The Climax construction is LIB Tech's high-end design and features a lightweight, thin tip and tail profile, combined with ultra-tough carbon wrapped in carbon stiffening. The core is made of recycled PET, Aspen and Paulownia wood, combined with balsa for reduced weight and vibration. Instead of using fibreglass, LIB Tech decided to use Magnesium fibres in the climax construction. Magnesium fibres are twice as strong as traditional fibreglass and offer maximum strength at minimum weight. The sintered Base is very fast but requires careful maintenance.

Snowboards are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new snowboard should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
