Can’t possibly enough good things about this board! The playfulness is unmanaged, but boy can this thing still rip out a good carve. Amazing on steeps, trees, glades… anywhere you want to go, this board will tear it up!
The soft flex allows for creative butters and movements, making the ride really fun. While the board is soft, you can still charge and carve at fast speeds, and there is still plenty of pop. And the 3bt really helps when getting creative and playing around on snow, I've gotten away with stuff I know I would have caught an edge on on my all mountain board.
I got this board for cheap as my first proper pow board. I'm in my 30s but around 5'1". Honestly the first few days I rode it, I couldn't manage the spoon nose on slick stuff, but now that I'm used to it I LOVE this board. Super fun and surprisingly poppy. Decent on groomers and less powdery stuff once you get used to it. Obviously good in pow. Would recommend.
This board is super fun for flat ground tricks like butters and presses. It is easy to flex and has a massive sweet spot for presses, and feels very stable on rails. It also feels super light. If I could only have one board to do everything, it would not be my first choice, but it is a great playful addition to the quiver. If you're looking at the wide, be advised that this one is real wide, almost a centimeter bigger at the waist than my Public and Academy wides, which took a little getting used to.
My riding has completely changed with this board, if you’re looking for an intro park board or are just trying to tune up your riding, this is the board !!
These ladders are great to switch the heel straps from one binding to another very quick.
In my case it’s an old. Sims binding for my old 90s ATV , where everything is broken except the base plate 😊.
Now I can give the old rig a new live switching my Astro straps on the fly to my sims board if I like to.
Thx Bataleon
This thing absolutely rules. I have the large, the fit it is perfect for my Bataleon Goliath and Thunderstorm, both of which are wide and 161+. Really helps with peace of mind when flying with boards. Previously, I would wrap the edge of the boards with pool noodles, this worked, but often times they would slide off. Now, I still use those pool noodles to outline the edges of the board bag, but no need to wrap the edges of the board in them because of this sleeve! I really try and pack my board bag full with softgoods for extra padding, but with this sleeve, it really helps protect your board from any pressure points or when the airline is throwing your board bag around! You need this!
Second board from bataleon, bought it because of beautiful graphics (not gonna lie), an eye catcher during line up time. Rode it on pow and groomers, turning was smooth, deep carve no problem, even did some switch on it and just worked perfectly.
This thing rips ! Absolutely love this board. I own this years Beyond Medals, Goliath and Evil Twin Plus and have to say I love all of them. ET is stiff enough to lay trenches but soft in the tip/tail to rip flat ground tricks. Great daily driver if you want true twin. Seems stiffer than the Goliath (regular version) but little more playful.
Make a mid-stiff true twin in a Low minimal 3bt and I’ll buy that too!!!
This is only my second season and I would still call myself a beginner. I had a different board brand and decided to upgrade this year to the Bataleon Spirit. When it arrived, I couldn't believe how lightweight it was, especially in comparison to my old board. The flex feels awesome and the weight (or lack of weight!) is a huge confidence booster on the easy terrain I'm riding. So happy with this purchase!
Read a review that says this holds your hand and keeps your confidence up. That's definitely been my experience as an anxious new rider. No complaints about this board and I'm excited for many more days of fun!
I upgraded to this from a much softer bataleon. Rides right through chunder and it’s fast! I am a big fan.
This is a must have in my opinion. The quality is very high and I absolutely love the color scheme. Definitely recommend this to anyone. The size chart is accurate and I plan on getting another when I pick up a new board.
Brand new board, top sheet splintered first lap.
Overall unimpressed with the quality of the board.
Warranty department is useless and says it’s not warranty, despite the top sheet failing on its maiden voyage. They are not willing to rectify the situation either.
Do not buy this board if you value build quality.
0/5 for the board and 0/5 for the customer service.
This was my first 3bt board, for reference I am a experienced snowboarder (started when I was 6), I am 6’1 150 and I bought the 157 board, and this was the second board I have ever bought. I took this thing to sugarbush for the long weekend where we got 12+ inches of snow in 48 hours, so I was really looking forward to using this thing. The board can really do anything. I took it out for 7+ hour days hitting the groomers, tree runs, and park where it still gets great pop. I’m the type of guy who wants to do a little bit of everything (like fast carves but also fun jumps/ side hits) and this board preformed really well. It could still move through powder and have a fine heel to toe transition. solid 9/10, would be a 10/10 if it could be just a little faster but good enough for me.
Everything i could want in a snowboard sleeve. The L fits my 158wide Goliath+ perfectly and protects it and my car during day trips when I want to pack light.
The tongue is very odd in that the top 1/3 aggressively curves away from my shin . A large gap between tongue and shin remains unless I tighten the boa cable excessively, which leads to the boot being far too tight on my lower shin. Thought the tongue curvature would decrease once i wore the boots a bit and broke them in but no. The boots don’t work for me. They might work for you, but certainly be aware of the odd tongue before committing!
Very high quality board sleeve. I bought two large. Easy to put on for my traditional shape 158 board. A bit tight for my asym 156 board (Yes Great Uninc) but still fit. Not sure if the edge of my Yes board is going to damage the fabric in the long run as it's rubbing against the fabric when I put it in. Time will tell but other than that, I love it.
this board is just so much fun. take it anywhere on the mountain and just have an unbelievable time. if the collab with beyond medals ends i really hope this board stays in the roster because ill continue to buy it again and again until i die.
If you haven’t tried a bataleon 3bt board yet, you haven’t lived. I sincerely believe that every rental shop should carry bataleon boards because of how forgiving and playful they feel.
As soon as I strapped in I felt sad knowing what I was missing out on this entire time. Spins, presses, switch riding, pop? Effortless. Handling through tree runs, patches of pow, side hits big and small? Light work. And then for those just cruising groomers and learning to get comfortable with riding… this is the ultimate choice board to grow into.
Those who are looking to hard carve and charge down the mountain at full speed, this will hold you back. It is not suited for very aggressive riding. This is a board for those who love to seek out every side hit, tree run, powder line, and park features!
