Lib Technologies T.Rice Pro Model C2 BTX Snowboard
WARNING: when it comes to big, steep lines, the Lib Tech T.Rice C2 BTX Snowboard might make you crap your pants. Yup, it rides that smooth. Last year’s Transworld Rider of the Year Travis Rice tricked out his pow-specific pro model with Magne-Traction, and Banana rocker between the bindings and a regular camber from the bindings to the tip/tail. The result? Unreal control in the deeps and shredgnartastic feel on everything else—from crud to hardpack to ice. Note to all the save-the-world dirtbags out there: Lib Tech constructed the T.Rice with bean-derived Bio-Plastic topsheet for strength, lightness, and sustainability.
C2 Power Banana puts rocker between the bindings and regular camber from bindings to tip/tail for pop and high-speed control
Magne-Traction turns ice into powder
Bio-Plastic top sheet adds strength without much weight, plus it’s derived from sustainable beans
H-Pop Core and Power Transfer Internal Sidewalls for pop and performance
Double-sintered UHMW sidewalls for strength
Travis Rice's custom graphics pay homage to the Gyrfalcon and the Harpy Eagle, two birds-of-prey in peril
Bottom Line: T.Rice’s AK-slaying, big line-ruling pointy big stick.
Hows the Directional shape, wanna try this board but heard cons on riding switch foot. What about groomed runs, I mostly ride pow but nature forces me to the groomed runs some times. At 6'4 and 200 I am lookin at the 161, sound right?
you can ride switch fine with it, its just not as easy as a twin board. Its a great board for powder, free riding just about anything. If you are just hitting powder and groomers all day you may want to get the 164.5, the 161.5 would be a good all mountain board if you mix in a few park runs
Thinking of going with the T.Rice Pro Model C2 BTX for my powder board this winter. However, I'm not sure whether to go with the 161.5cm of 164.cm. While I'm 5'11", 155lbs and probably should ride the 161.5cm per standard sizing recs, I've been riding a Burton Custom X 160cm as my all mountain board, so I'm wondering if I should step up to the T.Rice 164.5cm given that I've already been riding a longer stick.
Any advice would be most appreciated as I'm in limbo as to what size of the T.Rice to buy given that I'm primarily just looking to ride it on powder days.
if you are looking for a powder board, consider the burton fish, burton malolo or the rockered rome notch. otherwise, you could go longer with a rockered board if you wanted to, but it isn't necessary. granted it isn't a c2, but the banana 156 btx (i ride a 159 or so normally) handled amazingly well in utah's deepest day of the season last season.
Depends on how and where you ride. I'd go shorter for maneuverability based on your weight. Weight, strength and aggressiveness are more important in sizing than height. However boards with a significant amount of reverse camber do ride short. I have a 161 K2 Gyrator pow board and I'm 5'8" 170lbs and have been riding for about 15 years and it definitely doesn't feel long, especially on the deepest days.
I will be using this board this year for my main all mountain board. I demoed last years version and absolutely loved it and it should only get better with the new C2 BTX. Its obviously a good board if Travis Rice does what he does on one of these, although he rides just the plain mtx version
You can go smaller with the lib tech boards but only the ones with btx (which is pretty much every board they make now), only because they we'll float so well in the pow no matter what size you get because of the reverse camber, but if i was buying a reverse camber board i would go a lil longer in size because it also has less effective edge than a regular camber board.
I picked this board up the other week and its SICK. the "sparkley beans" are awesome and the top of the deck looks dope. The owner of the shop I bought it from said he rode it and loves it. Im going to have to wait til snow to give a full "ride" review. The owner of the shop said that Lib has fixed the "high speed wobble" some like to call it (BTX) with the C2. Im hoping this board rides up to my expectations!!!! Buy it!
also, on my 161.5, we measured the location of the bolt holes and they are 18 inches from nose to first set and 18 inches from the tail to first set. This normally means it is a twin, but I am thinking the flex might be directional.
not sure about weight but it is definately a solid build of a board, meaning it is not superlight but it definately feels like a well built piece of equipment, hope that helps?
I rode this board in CO and I totally agree with the below review and answer. It is a good all around board, but should be used more for the pow and some groomers. If you want to jump, get the board rec'd above.
The 161.5 and 164.5 are what Travis Rice uses when he's freeriding deep stuff in Jackson, New Zealand and AK. A .75" set back stance and pointy nose accompanied by C2 Banana tech which is rockered enough to create a sink/float effect in deep pow but is cambered enough to allow a rider pop off windlips and cliffs. It can hold turns on groomers if necessary. If you're looking for the "jump" board, search item # LBT0142 for the BTX and LBT0141 for the MTX version.
