Lib Tech DPR 2027 Snowboard

The Lib Tech DPR 2027 Snowboard is a versatile all-mountain freestyle snowboard for riders who turn every mountain into their own personal playground. DPR stands for Development Project Realized and is the result of years of development by Lib Tech co-founder Pete Saari and his team. The result? A playful yet powerful snowboard that effortlessly combines switch landings, tight carves, side hits, and powder days. Thanks to its accessible camber profile, directional twin shape, and legendary Magne-Traction® edges, the DPR is a true all-rounder for those who want to get the most out of every run.

Flex

5.5/10 - With a flex rating of 4.5 to 6.5, these snowboards are stable on the piste and offer enough flexibility for the park. It’s the perfect balance between stability and forgiveness.

Shape

Directional Twin—this shape combines characteristics of both a directional and a twin board. It has a symmetrical shape (twin) regarding the nose and tail around the bindings, which provides balance during freestyle maneuvers such as spins or switch riding. However, outside the bindings, the nose may be slightly longer than the tail, or the flex may vary from front to back, making the board more suitable for all-mountain riding in one direction. This makes the board versatile, performance-oriented in various snow conditions, and still suitable for park riding.

Rocker Type

Directional Camber Profile—The central camber zone provides grip, stability, and a powerful pop, while the early-rise nose and tail make the board more forgiving. This makes it easy to initiate turns, reduces the risk of unexpected edge catch, and provides extra float in fresh snow. Perfect for riders who want the precision of camber without an overly aggressive snowboard.

Core

Original Power Construction - Original Power Construction - this construction consists of a wood blend of 75% aspen and 25% paulownia. Eco-friendly and powerful.

Base

Knife-Cut TNT - The Knife-Cut TNT Base is a high-performance base that combines speed with ease of maintenance. TNT stands for “Two New Technologies” and is an extruded base specially developed to approximate the benefits of a sintered base, but without the maintenance and waxing requirements. The knife-cut finish provides an extra-smooth surface and precise edge alignment, resulting in less friction and more control. This base is ready to go right out of the box, is durable, and is perfect for riders who want a fast gliding experience without constant waxing. Ideal for freestyle and all-mountain use where ease of use is just as important as speed.

Rider Level

Intermediate|Advanced - Snowboards for intermediate and advanced riders are designed for most snowboarders who already have some experience and are looking for new challenges and thrills on the slopes. These snowboards typically have a stiffer core and are often wider and stiffer than snowboards for beginners. They’re ideal for snowboarders looking for more speed, stability, and control at higher speeds and on steeper slopes.

It’s a versatile beast that’s perfect for exploring the entire mountain, while still being playful enough for freestyle and stiff enough for freeride.
