I'm super happy with this purchase. This 2024 season is my first time on a Bataleon board with Bataleon bindings, and they fit phenomenally well together.
The bindings are sturdy and very comfortable. I feel I have plenty of control and can utilize the 3BT board well with the binding's wide strap pads and supports.
The board and bindings synergize nicely; hands down, it's the most fun I have had going down a mountain!
The binding is lightweight, super comfortable and responsive. I liked it much better than the Burton Cartel X that I was riding before. The only mixed emotions I had with that binding was a broken toe strap and buckle after I had a little crash in the pow on my second day of this season. Thought it was noting and continued to ride, noticed it was broken on the next chairlift and was a bit angry. The hit didn't feel that hard and it was only the second time I was taking it out for a spin. I reached out to Betaleons customer service, and they are just straight up doing a great job over there. Best Service Standard All the Way. Quick, responsive, super friendly and some desperately needed spare parts for free.
Have ride boots and these bindings on my evil twin. I am a ski school supervisor and am using these on daily basis size xl on my wide board . Perfect match love the board feel and the ratchets feel and looks very robust. Looking forward to a long life out of these bindings
First non-Rome I have purchased in years based on Angry Snowboader’s review - the deck does not disappoint. I’m 6ft, 200 lbs on the 158W and have about ten days on it this season in CO and CA. Pop and carve hit; deep tree riding is surgical; in powder it sails well. Great choice for a daily driver.
Finally replaced my old bindings with these beauties! I have the matching feelbetter board and they are stunning together. Easy to adjust to your liking and size! My first day with these was fun and comfortable.
Purchased two board sleeves because I was sick of wrapping my boards in clothes to protect for air travel. These are perfect! Low profile, but quite padded in all the right places. Will free up a ton of space in my board bag. 10/10!
Typically wearing US 9 boots and went with US 9 Salsa Boa. The boots are well designed. I like how durable it feels and the tpu toe cap design is great.
The liner is quite thick compared to other boots I have ( Ride fuse and Salomon Dialogue). The additional foams around the heel is quite crazy, in a good and bad way. Good that your heel is super locked once put it. Bad that I really have a hard time putting my feet in.
The fit is also a very tight fit compared to other brands, so watch out for that. The width seems to accommodate my E foot fine.
One thing I don't like is the calf area. It seems really tight and I can't really get the tongue to meet the liner. It is also because the tongue is quite stiff and already molded. Plus all the thick foams, making ones have thicker calf having a hard time.
Overall I think these are great boots. But I think the calf area design it a bit odd and the foam is too thick. The length of the boots seem compact, while the width and height dimensions look bulky due to that. Also these are stiffer and more responsive than I expected.
This is a great, versatile board. It is flexy and very fun to jib and butter, whilst not being flimsy or too soft to maintain a little speed and power. It is super easy to control and turn. The 3BT profile is very forgiving. It is hard to catch an edge by mistake and go flying - however, you can still totally lock into your edges
I demo'd several comparable boards from other brands before settling on buying the moodboard, and i am very very happy with my choice. I read several reviews that described this board as a great fit for an intermediate level rider who wants to progress across all areas of the mountain - completely true!
Obviously, being a true twin, this doesn't perform amazingly well in deep pow. And other boards may perform better across big jump lines or riding at speed. But if you want something versatile and super fun to progress on all over the mountain, the moodboard is AMAZING!
I am on my 4th season snowboarding, and would consider myself intermediate level. I bought a 149, and at 168cm tall and ~60ish kg, it is an ideal size :)
thank u bataleon - love your work!
Riding the 156 (5’11”, 170lbs) as my all mountain /conditions board in BC and it is awesome so far. Tons of pop from the full camber and rails turns. Haven’t gotten in anything deep, and usually ride a more dedicated pow board, but looking forward to the 3BT on those mixed conditions days.
So my foot is kinda weird, 26cm in length but wide and high forward arc. Tried many brands and either I have pressure point on my arc or my feet is free and I don't feel stable enough.
Read few reviews that this boot is good for high arc and maaaan it really is. What I would really like is also wide option for 260 size as it would be perfect for my feet's shape. It still needs to break in as there is not much space near the fingers :/ currently riding w/o insole as heat molding and a week of riding couldn't make enough room yet.
So imho you need to heat mold them even before 1st ride.
Stiffness - I ride all my boots with flex 7, but this feels more like 9 to me :D So be prepared as it can be more stiff that you think.
Construction - this is a solid boot which matches the price. Insole is not piece of fabric but has actual arc shape similar to Vans' boots.
Sole - this is so much better than other brands, if you hike up a lot or have contact with firm and icy snow you will really enjoy it.
BOAs - it is what BOA is, not surprises here. Tho it took a bit of strength to make them work at first as they seemed blocked.
Inner boot - it's great, have a lot of padding to match your foot, even a little too much around fingers. Rollo wrap - mixed feelings, seems too small - can't make my mind if it's better than "normal" tongue or not yet.
Overall: Great boot, try it if other boots don't fit.
5/5
As Jachym Mahel, the other 1 star review said... the quality just isn't there. I had a delaminating edge, I should be able to beat the crap out of my board without worrying about little things like this. Bataleon may have some cool ideas and boards, but just save yourself some money and time and go for a quality well known brand/board
Your heel is perfectly maintained, double boa helps you goin in and out super easily and it looks awesome:) Furthermore it match really well with my push up board and donna bindings combo!
Amazing on my feet. Great comfort. A little more insulation wouldn’t have hurt but still amazing boot.
Beautifully constructed board. Looking forward to getting some days out on it. It’s going to be a great season
Awesome piece , love the colour , the details and everything. However the lettering is already peeling from the back, and I haven’t even ridden in it yet! For €160 I didn’t expect this to happen .
I did a lot of research before replacing my gnu riders choice and was between this and a jones mind expander. so happy i went with the goliath plus. it is hands down the best board i have ever been on. instantly felt more confident in my riding. makes butters sooo easy and charges hard. cant wait to push this board to the limit.
Sleeve looks nice on my Battalion Goliath 2024 board. It feels sturdy and is reinforced in the nose and tail. Not only my board is protected, but also my car from the sharp edges of the board!
Ugh, so disappointed with the new Bataleon Surfer. 😩 The build quality just isn't there anymore. Remember when their boards used to be indestructible? Feels like they really dropped the ball on durability this time. Such a bummer because this board really rips, but I have some concerns about how it'll hold up over time. The performance is there, but the build quality feels a little questionable. Hoping to see some improvements in future versions! Overall, it's a fun ride, just not sure about the longevity. Fingers crossed for some more robust construction down the line!
Love the playfulness of this board , 3bt is really nice, one of the best board ive ridden in a long time
I got this board back in 2020 and had to get another because of how much I love it. I’m a snowboarding instructor with a passions for freestyle and park riding. This board meets all my needs,. I absolutely love it flexibility and and playfulness. Don’t even get me started on the 3BT, since I started riding this brand I haven’t caught an edge in years.
I do recommend a wide board for those with a shoe size of 11.5 or bigger, I found myself having a lot of toe and heel drag and heavy high edge turns with a regular width.
Have fun out there and stay safe! 🤘🏻
Snaped a tail on the old surfer and now got the new one wishing its a stronger build with the 3d power basket in the tail but still after one run got to the car to notice the tail Snaped where the metal plate is ... waiting on update from warranty....
