Lib Tech DPR 25/26 – First Thoughts

The 2025/26 Lib Tech dPr blends freestyle flair with all-mountain prowess.

Our crew found the Lib Tech dPr to deliver a lively, forgiving ride thanks to its directional-twin shape, early-rise camber profile, and medium flex. It pops neatly off groomers, handles switch and sidehits well, and stays surprisingly smooth in powder. Magne-Traction edges bring confident grip even on icy steeps, and the forgiving early-rise nose initiates turns effortlessly. It’s a solid do-it-all board for riders looking to lap the park, carve groomers, and rip off-piste lines. Curious how it performs in action? Check out full ride reviews and video breakdowns to get the full picture.
