- Flex rating 7 depending on size (1 = soft/10 = stiff). Glossary:!BTX!: Combines Enhanced Banana Tech & Magne Traction. Lib's highest Rocker between the feet blended with a secret numerical formula of camber to the contact points. Focuses max pressure between the feet for magical turns & edge hold on ice, & mild pressure at the tip & tail for end-to-end stability & pop while maintaining incredible float & catch-free freestyle. Magne Traction: Conventional skis & snowboards have two contact points. Magne-Traction boards have seven & deliver better edge hold! Control & turn initiation come from under your feet, not a foot & a half to either side of your feet, so when your two outside contact points lose grip, you've still got five more to take over!SOS construction: Sandwich Over Sandwich construction is the backbone of the mad pop & compression energy often referred to as Top-Pop.ULEGT: Ultra Light End Grain Timbers. The lightest farmed timbers known are oriented top to bottom in the middle of the core for maximum lightweight strength efficiency. VTR: Vectran Torsion Rods. Vectran power fibres arranged in a torsional X for corner-to-corner energy transmission at minimal weight 26% lighter than Carbon.SSHBS: Seamless Self-Healing Biopolymer Sidewalls. One piece perimeter sidewalls with super impact resistance, rebound, vibration reduction & the healing properties of the human body. Glow in the dark!! Bio Beans top sheet: Earth friendly, Bio-Plastic top skin made from castor beans that features the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any top sheet in the industry.
