Sole
+Base Sintered : Sintered sole, quick and easy to maintain.

Edges
Magne-Traction the edges of the Libtech boards are in two parts and not in one. The edges are independent of each other so if you dent or tear it, it will be easier to repair. In addition, they are strategically corrugated for more grip on powder but also and especially on hard snow.

Team review

La Skate Banana est une planche pure Twin tip de la gamme Lib Tech qui se fait de plus en plus une belle place parmi les tops. L'origine de la révolution est un mélange de rocker et de cambre standard agrémenté de carre ondulée.

Que vous cherchiez votre première planche pour progresser ou LA planche à tout faire, la Skate Banana est la réponse. Simple et efficace, elle est facile partout, sur toutes les surfaces. Aucune mauvaise surprise avec une Skate Banana aux pieds : pas de fautes de carre, pas de coups de raquette, tous les virages assurés et un mordant infaillible.

Fun, mais surtout ultra accessible, la Skate Banana est incontestablement l'une des planches les plus complète et polyvalente. Elle a tout pour plaire, un mélange très performant de POP, de stabilité et d'accroche.

Les Plus : Très complète, top sheet anti-rayure et Magne-Traction

Les Moins : R.A.S.
