Capita Aeronaut vs Lib Tech T. Rice Pro

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Lib Tech T. Rice Pro leans more freeride. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Capita Aeronaut has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Lib Tech T. Rice Pro uses cam_rock_cam_rock_cam (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Lib Tech T. Rice Pro is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. At $649.95 vs $699.99 MSRP, the Capita Aeronaut is the more budget-friendly option.
