Description
The Lib Tech Orca Splitboard isn’t just a split version of the iconic Orca; it’s a backcountry-optimized machine packed with Lib Tech’s patented technologies designed to elevate your touring and riding experience in Utah’s diverse terrain. At Salty Peaks, we understand the demands of our local backcountry, and the Orca Split is built to thrive here.
Delivering Unrivaled Float and Maneuverability with Patented “Whale Tail Technology” and Volume Shift: The Orca Split’s distinct directional, volume-shifted shape isn’t just for looks. Its long, floaty nose, combined with Lib Tech’s patented “Whale Tail Technology” in the shorter, poppy tail, works in harmony to provide effortless float in Utah’s legendary powder. The volume shift allows you to ride a shorter board (3-6 cm down), enhancing maneuverability in tight trees and technical sections often found in our backcountry, without sacrificing float.
Unleashing Powerful Edge Hold with Patented Magne-Traction®: Navigating icy traverses and firm spring snow, common in the Wasatch, demands reliable edge control. That’s where Lib Tech’s patented Magne-Traction® comes into play. These strategically placed serrations along the edges act like a serrated knife, biting into the snow to provide unreal grip and control, giving you the confidence to tackle variable conditions with precision.
Experience Aggressive All-Mountain Performance with C2X Camber: The Orca Split’s C2X camber profile is a carefully engineered blend featuring a shorter, more aggressive rocker between the feet and powerful camber extending to the tips and tails. This patented contour delivers the best of both worlds: excellent edge hold for carving on hardpack encountered on the way to the goods, significant pop for backcountry freestyle maneuvers over natural features, and surprising float in deeper snow.
Built for Seamless Transitions with Karakoram Ultra Clips: Recognizing the importance of efficient transitions in the backcountry, the Orca Split utilizes industry-leading Karakoram Ultra Clips. These robust and adjustable clips provide a secure and tight connection between the two halves of the splitboard, ensuring a solid, one-piece board feel on the descent, maximizing your confidence when charging down those hard-earned lines.
Durable and Lightweight Split Construction: The Orca Split is built with a lightweight yet durable core, typically featuring a high percentage of Paulownia combined with Aspen. This construction balances weight savings for efficient uphill travel with the strength and stability needed for demanding descents in Utah’s backcountry.
