Lib Tech Cygnus X BTX - 2010
Being hand built and signed by snowboard design guru Mike Olson isn’t the only reason for the Lib Tech Cygnus X’s $1800 price tag. The Cygnus X features polymer sidewalls with healing properties, a top sheet made of beans and Vectron torsion rods which are 26% lighter than Carbon fibre and have 10x the strength to weight ratio of Titanium. I thought Lib Tech had lost the plot… now I’m sure they’re absolutely bonkers. Now where did they park the Doc’s Delorean?
