Rider Style: Freestyle/All Terrain

The Magic BM is aimed at experienced riders looking for the ultimate in freestyle/all-terrain performance.

Shape Overview: Directional Twin

The Magic BM’s unique directional twin shape is an evolution of Lib-Tech’s iconic Banana Magic. Utilising a well balanced directional twin outline with a pow-friendly low entry nose shape, the Magic BM delivers the perfect blend of freestyle feel, with the float and lift that would shame many a pure freeride board. It features a tight radius Magne Traction sidecut to deliver rock-solid on edge performance. This innovative sidecut profile adds seven strategically located edge serrations along the length. These serrations add additional traction points to the edges ensuring that you get unrivalled edge hold and control.

Profile: C2 Camber/Rocker

The Magic BM is all about performance and versatility, so Lib-Tech fits it with their C2 hybrid Rocker/Camber profile. This places mild rocker between your feet with powerful cambers to the tips and tails. This delivers the perfect balance of power, pop, and precision while enhancing float in deep pow. Also, those aggressive cambers work perfectly with the Magna Traction sidecut to give a solid and confidence-inspiring feeling through the turn.

Construction

Internally the Magic BM is a tour de force of new technology. Heading this up is the advanced Firepower core. Constructed from 60% Aspen, 40% Paulownia this stunning wood core combines feather-like weight with a lively and durable ride. To this Lib-Tech then add advanced structural layers formed from torsionally stiff tri-ax glass reinforced with 45° basalt webbing and power beams. This combination creates a responsive and dynamic flex that gives you the confidence to push the board to the limit. Finally, the Eco Sublimated Bio-Bean top sheet saves weight and adds an additional level of dampening.
