Decided it was time to retire my previous board after 12 years of service and had always been curious about Bataleon and the Triple Base Tech. I was sceptical but wanted to try something new, and after doing some research and watching some convincing Angry Snowboarder and Whitelines reviews I landed on the Beyond Medals 158W. I’m 6.ft , 195lbs, size US 11 boots . Glad I pulled the trigger , it fits my riding style perfectly and absolutely rips. Great for riding the entire mountain and does not disappoint in the deep pow , it’s almost too easy! I’m definitely a TBT convert. Service and delivery was also great, board arrived timely and in perfect condition. Great board, get one
This board is awesome for everything. Groundtricks, jumps, even carving is possible :D Board is very responsive and forgiving faults due to its 3d shape. I'm very suprised how easy is to make tricks and even making some faults the board doesn't make you fall. Also the weight of the board is very suprising. I've taken 138cm and don't feel the board totally.
I recommend this board if you search for fun and lightness. Also delivery was very fast, ordered on Tuesday came to me on Friday to have fun on slope on
It is perfect riding hoodie, waterproof windproof, wore it on a cold day with a light puffer vest underneath with base layers and was warm ion below zero windy conditions at big sky, must buy!
I've been able to only ride them once so far, but they felt excellent on the board I just purchased as well. They feel, more stable than my previous bindings and I'm enjoying them a lot.
Took a little getting used to as it is much flexier and smaller than my old board but it is so so much fun and has really helped my confidence and skill in the park especially. There are times when I feel the board catch me when I think I should have fallen! The cambered profile really helps when making carved turns. The nimbleness really helps when teaching lessons and needing to manoeuvre quickly around students. I am super excited for some fresh snow so I can see how it behaves in powder. I prefer this to my old board in basically every way (except for very icy conditions in which something stiffer and larger might be a better fit).This board is super playful and makes being on the mountain really fun. So happy with my purchase
I had to get these as a replacement for my Bataleon Astro because one of the small hooks on the footbed cracked after 3 days in the mountain. Despite that, Bataleon's support was very quick in providing a replacement, considering the holiday season, so I am very happy with it. Only down side is that there is only one color available for the replacement and that is different from the originals in the binding.
My previous Bataleon Evil twin from november 2022 had delaminated under the back binding and was out of warranty for 1 month. I wrote to their customer services to see if anything could be done . They told me that they will replace it for free. I kindly thank Bataleon for that replacement. I’m continuing having fun on that board.
Picked this up as a replacement to my 157 whatever,
was a little worried about going to a 151, but so far it has been great!
Its fun on groomers, floaty in that pow stuff & nimble in the woods on the way to grandma's place for some adult hot coco!
Pretty good flex for butters especially on the nose, I'm still getting used to the shorter length in the tail.
I will for sure be coming back for more in the future!!
Really snug fit, I bought an L for my 159 Goliath
Fits nice and the board is protected all around
Amazing fit.. super responsive whether in the deep pow og blazing down the slopes.
I have been on Union bindings for years. since I got a Bataleon board I thought I would get he bindings too. Wow! they are so solid in a lot of ways. 1st the padding. most have the foot bed padding now, but the material they use is way nicer than others. and the padding under the binding where it meets the board is like running shoe Boost material. so much dampening! bombing crapt-out groomers feels that much better! I didn't expect that. and landing out in the flats!
the straps and buckles are super nice. I mean everything feels like an upgrade.
I am sorry Union......iI'm done
Bataleon out did you.
These bindings r nice and snug, don’t loosen up and r extremely responsive!
Its a bread and butter having 10 Bataleons in the fleet. Works well, loved the ease of purchase and fast delivery.
Horrible experience.
2 weeks waiting to get a board.
They say on their website they ship trough ups or fedex within canada. Even when I ask them before .
They ship it trough Canpar what is a total Sh**
Costumer service is horrible they dont reply emails or give any solution.
Amazing board. I ride very aggressively and this board keeps up no problem. Does amazing on ice, thin coverage, and powder. The raised edges on the nose and tail definitely help with carving and not catching edges.
Purchased a new board after using the last one for nearly a decade. Very satisfied with the Goliath. Bataleon’s customer service was extremely helpful in providing suggestions when I was stuck between the Evil Twin and Goliath
I’ve been riding for over 25 years. The last 15+ on the same snowboard (Sims FS600). It was a great board and I loved it. This year I decided to go new and wanted something with flex and tech to make buttering smoother. I chose the Bataleon Disaster and OMG I can’t / won’t go back. This thing does everything I wanted and more. Makes for a super smooth style on the hill and even holds fine in tight hard carving.
Very happy with this purchase
I am simply amazed by this board. I bought it pre-season and then the season didn't come for a long time this year and only now I got to try it.
IT IS FUC*ING AMAZING! The best board ever.
I have currently tried it only once in the resort but man I am just in love. Just so responsive and so adaptive to the surface. Snowboarding is a whole new deal right now for me.
I even decided to switch my stance to the other side and right away I could go down the hill with nice surfy feel the first try. (I switched stance to other side because I surf with the other foot front and want to improve that)
100% recommend, although I don't really want to, because I WANNA BUY ONE MORE OF THESE JUST TO HAVE TWO but only two are left and I'm out of cash now :D
Best board out there and finally a good looking snowboard (the designs suck for other boards)
oh yeah and it's completely rideable the other way around too if you are worried about landing 180 tricks. Pop is great and I don't see a reason why not take this board to the park.
