Full send in the park?

Flex

SoftStiff
Softer snowboards are easier to press and won't kick your ass if you make a mistake. Stiffer decks are more stable at speed and super responsive edge-to-edge. Choose your poison.
Outline Shape
Nose Sidebase Uplift
The gradual side base uplift in the nose determines how the board will behave on snow. Most affected are the edge to edge performance and the uplift generated when riding powder.
Tail Sidebase Uplift
The gradual side base uplift in the tail determines how the board will behave on snow. Any amount of uplift brings all the benefits of Triple Base Technology making our boards more versatile than others.
Camber Profile
Camber profiles are defined from low to high. Higher camber make for more dynamic boards that need to be ridden more aggressively to get maximum performance. Lower camber boards are smoother on lower speeds and in powder. All camber profiles run from nose to tail. Higher is not always better...
3D Shape
Combining the responsiveness of traditional tip-to-tail camber with the dynamic shaping properties of Triple Base Technology and the performance boosting Sidekick feature makes for a 3D snowboarding experience like no other.
At the heart of every Bataleon is a combination of 3BT™ and positive camber. It’s an innovative solution to the profile puzzle that minimizes the potential for edge-catch without sacrificing ollie power or carving performance. From this starting point, we fine-tune each element according to the boards desired riding style.
SideKick™ builds on the concept of Triple Base by increasing the sidebase uplift just outside the widest points of the nose and tail. The tips become more like a hull, boosting float in deep snow and slicing through crud. It also helps the board to roll quickly and evenly from edge to edge.
Supertubes™ are hollow carbon cylinders that are inserted directly into the core. They reinforce the camber, reduce weight and greatly increase pop. By varying their location we can fine-tune the board’s performance further.
Tri-Ax Lamination
Our three-way fiberglass weave is light, strong and crazy responsive. We use this to beef up the flex pattern on our more aggressive boards.
Ultra Light Core
A 70/30 Paulownia and poplar blend that offers awesome strength to weight.
Ultra Glide S
A premium, 7000-grade sintered base reserved for our high-end models. Packing more molecules into the P-tex means it’s super tough and hauls ass.
Flex Walls
Our Urethane Poured Sidewalls offer exceptional shock absorption, reducing chatter and vibration for a smoother, more stable ride. Flexwalls provide flexibility and resilience, allowing the board to maintain its integrity even in extreme conditions. With superior impact resistance, they ensure your snowboard performs at its peak, season after season.
24 Inserts
A-grade German stainless steel inserts make sure you are locked to your board. These high quality inserts can take years of binding stance switches.
Carbon Stringers
Our tried and true carbon layups. We've used them in different areas to fine-tune the feel of each model.
D.S.T. SuperTubes
Dual Super Tubes, a Super Tube on either side of the board enhances pop and gives the camber more snap.
Step Down Rails Top 3D
This topsheet 3D effect features a slight taper of the deck along the top of the sidewall. This reduces the top-profile, saving weight and adding more precision to your carves.

I absolutely love this board!! The design, the structure, it rides so smoothly. I couldn’t be happier with the choice I made.
this board is sick it looks so cool
Floats well in powder while still being able to ride switch
Haven’t had the chance to take it up the mountain yet but the board design is beautiful! Excited to try it next season
when i decided to buy this board i was going to use it as a dedicated powder board. Unfortunately the PNW is precipitationally challenged this year, so I've had the HONOR of being able to use this board in variable conditions and it....RIPS. Just as much fun in powder as it is in park, groomers etc. This was my first bataleon board and I have become a customer for life. within my first week of owning this board I was already plotting which model I was going to get next. DONT THINK, JUST BUY. Cameleon review coming next!
P.S. if you like going fast, put structure in it. Bataleons base material is harder than diamond and it takes structure like a champ and makes the boards uncomfortably (but awesome) fast and leaves you with the biggest smile after almost meeting jesus at speeds not meant for humans to achieve on a snowboard.
Been on breck, Park city, and Big Sky so far on this board and it hasn’t let me down. Its responsive and wrecks powder and groomers. If im feeling a park day, it goes strong despite not being a park board. I recommend it to all my friends.
Amazing board, super light, fast and all around a good board. This board is quick so be prepared to go fast.
Realy like my new ThunderStorm. Really easy to ride and magnificent on straight tracks
Awesome board, really happy with the quality and feel when riding.
Prompt customer service and fast shipping. Pre season so I haven't tried the board. Looks nice! Excited to try a bataleon board this winter.
As a Midwest rider who mostly rides in southern MI I knew I wasn’t going to be able to really put this board to the test at home. Well let me tell you after just getting home from riding out at Breck &A Basin in CO…. THIS BOARD RULES. I have never had so much fun riding as I did this past weekend. This board handled everything with ease and I really felt like I could take it to that next level over the ungroomed terrain. Bend those knees and let er rip!! Can’t recommend this board enough.
Also love how fast the sintered base is. First trip out west where I didn’t get stuck on any cat tracks. I was the one waiting on my buddy for once.
I’m 6'2" and weigh 222 lbs, and I’ve got to say, the ThunderStorm 2025 is a serious game changer for me! First off, it's a gorgeous board—I got tons of compliments from lift staff. Coming from an entry-level flat-rocker, this upgrade is incredible.
The 3BT, Sidekick, and Supertubes tech really deliver; I hardly caught an edge, and it lets me turn more aggressively. It’s super light compared to my old board, and the pop on side hits is awesome. Plus, it cruised smoothly over flat catwalks when my old board would stall out.
As someone getting more comfortable with my riding, this board made practicing switch way more fun and intuitive. I totally recommend the ThunderStorm 2025 if you're looking to step up your game into intermediate or even advanced riding!
This board gives me so much confidence to go hard and make the turns stick.
I upgraded to a Thunderstorm coming from a Funkink and that is a world of difference.
Almost as big as going from an oldscool flat Burton to the Funkink years ago.
The 3D tech gives me so much confidence to push my limits. The board looks fantastic and performs fantastic.
I upgraded to this from a much softer bataleon. Rides right through chunder and it’s fast! I am a big fan.
Love it love love it!
Just ordered it in 162 w. With a 27.2 waist to handle my big feet. Will update once I get in on snow. But I love my other Bataleon Board the C2 GG 157. But I wish I had went with the 161 though. The 157 is a bit narrow. Still a super fun ride! Can’t wait to try a wider board from Bataleon!
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.
Gotta be honest, I was skeptical of the 3D base and worried that the rail to rail engagement would be too floaty with the boat hull shape. My wife got a the Storm a couple years ago and ever since has been telling me how much I would enjoy it. Finally decided to give it a go (especially with an insane sale price) and am now feeling like I wasted multiple seasons as a loyal warpig fan. This board is nuts! Noticeable quality right out of the box and a pleasant but simplistic graphic which I really appreciate. But some mileage on it in central Oregon and so far it has been nothing but epic. Playful and rowdy and GODDAMN she wants to go fast. Rails are super grippy and carry speed through big carves. Flexible enough for all the butters and stiff enough to give you all the pop you could want. If you don’t pick a rail…this board will pick for you. I wouldn’t suggest it for any riders lacking confidence and still in the more timid phase of riding, but if you are really comfortable riding give this thing a chance to change the way you approach the hill. Thanks for a great board, I will be back for more!!
Bought this board for my son, and wow what a huge difference in his riding ability coming from a competitor brand to Bataleon. I myself have been riding Bataleon 3BT for over 12 years and got my son to switch to this board and he is in love with it. Edge to edge carving is seemless and the control he has on pow/groomers is amazing. Also purchased the Bataleon Bindings to go along with this board. Great combo.
You better be a good driver, because this thing loves to ride fast. O man does this thing love to move. It just wants to go go go. If you don't ride control it, it will control.
Couldn't be happier. I love this board.
I bought this board to try something different from what I’ve been riding (a directional all-mountain board with camber/rocker/camber profile). I am 5’’5” and weigh about 150 and went with the 152 N. It is about an inch wider underfoot than my old board. I can feel that it takes a bit longer to engage and disengage my turns …but I like that I got a new board with a different feel to it. The transitions between turns aren’t as quick , but I can hold my turns longer. Where I think this board really performs is in fresh powder and through mashed potato snow and tracked out un-groomed conditions. It powers through crud with stability and very little chatter. It’s stable, yet floaty in powder. I’m able to ride switch pretty comfortably when needed. I’d recommend this board if you’re looking for something that will put down long, stable trenches on groomer days., and it will be my go-to on powder days. I will ride my other board if I want something for shorter, quicker turning and carving tricks.
I live in the Pacific North West and have had 5 days on mountain with this board, I couldn't be stoked.
It's stable at high speed, and when going through uneven, chopped up snow.
Ive rode it in knee deep powder from the top of the mtn to heavy mashed potato towards the base and this thing shreds it all. It rides fast on the groomers, isn't catchy on cat tracks and has great hold when icy.
I'm an aggressive rider and this has suprassed my expectations.
Beyond happy with his board.
I Has been a great ride! perfectly nimble and balanced, also doesn't hurt that it looks great!
I use it mainly for groomers but great as an all mountain board!
Transitioned from a beginner board to the Thunderstorm and I had no issues adjusting to the board. I love to carve and this board makes it so easy and fun. Does great in powder and any resort riding.
Summer could pass by quicker here in Canada... Crazy to say that but I'm just so pumped to rip this thing. Crew is sending me some stickers as well after request which is awesome.
3BT seems like it's going to be unreal. Canadian Rockie slack is about to get shredded.
I recently purchased a Bataleon Thunderstom which arrived on time and in mint condition. The board looks fantastic and it was super easy to set up with my Union Falcor bindings. I cant wait to try it out on the Mountains !
A great all round board! On piste, off piste, glades, park, powder, side hits it does it all. And at this price too?!?!
I love 3bt and I was riding the evil twin as an all mountain board (surprise... its not the best for that) I recently got the Thunderstorm and man this board is a hard charging beast. It hold hard on your edges on the groomers and on ice. It floats great in powder and is ridged and playful in the ungroomed areas of the mountain.
I love this board 10/10 would recommend.
