Cruiser
The Cruiser is a new shape for the 22/23 season. It’s super stable at high speeds, yet playful and fun for all mountain cruising or a lap through the park. It can be ridden in traditional lengths or slightly longer because of its long nose compared to the effective edge. We designed this board with freestyle carving in mind so hit the resort and get weird.

Terrain
Park
Resort
Pow
What’s this board’s natural home? Full send in the park? Elbows down on the trails? Or chucking roosters somewhere off grid?
Flex
5.0
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.
Float Ratio
92
Maximum volume for surfy vibes in the pow, or a smaller surface area for nimble freestyle performance. This number is calculated with length, width, 3D shape and surface distribution.
Outline Shape
Directional
On our more freeride orientated boards the center base is at its most narrow and the uplift is at its highest this creates unparalleled float in pow super fast edge-to-edge transitioning.
Nose Sidebase Uplift
High
The gradual side base uplift in the nose determines how the board will behave on snow. most effected are the edge to edge performance and the uplift generated when riding powder.
Tail Sidebase Uplift
Low
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 then others.
Camber Profile
Medium Camber
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
3BT™ + Sidekick™
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.
Glassing
Bi-Ax
Lamination
A traditional two-way weave that is light, strong and playful; it keeps the board snappy without adding torsional stiffness, which is great for getting creative.
Woodcore
Light
Core
50/50 Paulownia and poplar creates a balanced core that’s lively yet strong.
Base
Hyper
Glide S
Our standard sintered base that’s durable and fast – and even faster when you keep it waxed.
Sidewalls
Shock Walls
Sidewall
This is our Urethane infused sidewall technology. ShockWalls smooth out your ride and are more resistant to impact.
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.

Customer Reviews
So far this board has really been a great fit for me . Coming from a 157 fun.kink I wanted something a bit stiffer with the ability to take it out on deep days ! Ripping it around with the kid carving and slashing the whole mountain was super fun and this thing slays deep pow!
So I picked this one to learn how to carve. 186cm height, 159cm board with Blaster bindings.
This is board transitions very well, it has enough pop for you to jump on the other edge while making a turn.
Is super stable on higher speeds but tends to drop the edge a little bit on the back foot which may be a problem on some black lanes but other than that carving with this board was a really pleasant experience.
Not to mention it was like that throught the entire day, even when the lanes got a little mouldy - it cuts straight through this kind of stuff. Only ice can proof a problem.
Bottom line, highly recommend for beginner carvers and other cruising enjoyers!
P.S. it goes on flat parts of the lane super smooth too!
Bought this board in 164cm, for aggressive pow riding in BC Canada. It floats through champagne, nose stays up and board is responsive. Great Austrian-made board for little more than made in china stuff that you’ll want to replace.
It's called The Cruiser, and wow, does this thing cruise! I've had the pleasure to cruise this board down the steep & deep where it refuses to sink, on fresh natural corduroy, flying past my friends with 3BT-confidence and night cruising re-frozen chunder that the long nose eats right up. I personally wouldn't spend the day in the park with it, but it has enough rigidity in the tail that you could take a lap and not suffer. The only reason it's not an outright quiver killer, is because it's my first Bataleon and now I want them allllll.
I used it before Whatever AndI bought a cruzer this time, but I like it because it is easy to handle and the powder is an all-round that can go cancerous! I think the design is also lovely.
