Lib Tech Mayhem Sweetfish vs Lib Tech T. Rice Apex Orca

How they compare

Both target freeride terrain, while the Lib Tech T. Rice Apex Orca leans more all mountain/powder. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Lib Tech Mayhem Sweetfish has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Lib Tech T. Rice Apex Orca uses hybrid (camber/rocker) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff).
