Specs
Surf-Inspired Performance for the Entire Mountain:
The Mayhem Rocket combines a unique directional shape with Lib Tech's proven technologies to offer a truly versatile and exhilarating ride:
- Updated Directional All Terrain Power Slasher: This board is built to absolutely rip the resort and love the powder. It's a directional shape, designed to be ridden predominantly forward, maximizing its float and carving power.
- C3 Camber Profile (Early Rise Directional Camber): This aggressive dominant camber contour is perfect for advanced riders:
- Powerful Camber zones out to the contacts: Delivers maximum edge hold, powerful pop, and precision for railing carves and maintaining stability at high speeds. This is where the Rocket gets its "hardpack carving power trenching machine" reputation.
- Easy Initiating and Extra Floaty Early Rise Nose: The extended rocker in the nose provides incredible lift and effortless float in deep snow, making powder days feel like a dream. It also aids in smooth turn initiation and navigating variable conditions.
- Focused Camber in Tail: Provides powerful pop and edge hold for aggressive turns and driving out of carves.
- Set Back Camber and Stance: The camber is set back towards the tail, and the stance is also set back (typically 2.5 inches / 6.4 cm). This further enhances powder floatation and provides a powerful, directional drive.
- Magne-Traction®: Lib Tech's signature "serrated edge" technology with strategically located edge serrations provides unreal edge hold and control in all conditions, from icy groomers to chopped-up crud. This is a huge advantage for maintaining grip on Utah's diverse snow surfaces.
- Mid-Wide Outline / Lots of Planing Surface: The board features a mid-wide waist width (e.g., 26.4cm for a 157.5cm) which helps eliminate toe drag for riders with larger boots and provides extra planing surface for incredible float in soft snow.
- Progressive Elliptical Carving Sidecut: A brand new shape that provides precise and powerful turns. This unique sidecut, combined with the C3 profile, allows the board to carve like a dream on hardpack.
- Firm Flex (Rated 6 to 7 out of 10): The Mayhem Rocket has a medium-firm to firm flex, providing excellent responsiveness, dampness, and stability at high speeds and through challenging terrain. This flex rating scales slightly with length (e.g., 6/10 for 152.5cm, 7/10 for 161.5cm).
- Original Power (OP) Construction / OP+ Construction: This is Lib Tech's environmentally friendly, lightweight, and strong core. It typically features a sustainable Aspen/Paulownia wood core (e.g., 75% Aspen / 25% Paulownia) for a responsive yet damp ride.
- Tri-Ax / Bi-Ax Fiberglass Laminates: A unique blend of fiberglass layers for amazing strength, pop, and a smooth, powerful feel.
- Sintered Knife Cut Base: An ultra-fast, durable, and highly absorbent sintered base material, optimized for excellent wax retention and maximum speed in all conditions.
- Eco Sublimated Poly Top: A durable, impact-resistant topsheet decorated using an environmentally friendly eco-sublimation process.
- Birch Internal Sidewalls & UHMW Sintered Sidewalls / UHMW Tip/Tail Impact Deflection: These features enhance durability, impact absorption, and overall board longevity, crucial for aggressive riding.
- Art by Drew Brophy: Features eye-catching graphics from the renowned surf and skate artist.
- Mervin Made: Hand-built in the USA at the Mervin Factory in Washington State with a commitment to zero hazardous waste and environmentally nicer materials.
