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
6.0
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
62
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
Twin
Boards that are shaped for the park are designed with maximum center base width and minimal side base uplift. Creating a stable landing platform with confidence boosting forgiveness and next level agility. Think about your tricks not about your edges.
Nose Sidebase Uplift
Medium
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
Medium
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.
Layup & Laminate
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.
Woodcore
Super Ultra
Light Core
Our lightest core features an 80/20 blend of Paulownia and poplar for the ultimate in featherweight response.
Special Sauce
C.S.T.
Super Tubes
Central Super Tube, a single Super Tube down the middle of the board enhances pop without stiffening the board torsionally. Great for jibbing.
Base
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.
Layup & Laminate
Carbon
Stringers
Our tried and tested carbon layups. We deploy them in different areas to fine-tune the feel of each model.
Sidewalls
Solid Walls
Sidewall
We use tried and trusted ABS sidewalls for most of the collection. For the best flex to strength ratio.
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.
AirRide™ is an additive we include within the woodcore of select models, which dampens vibrations and makes riding smoother at high speeds. It’s like having a suspension system in your snowboard.

Customer Reviews
6'3" 240lbs 159W Evil Twin + >>>Don't let the youtube reviews fool you, this board is very flexible and poppy at the same time. I have seen reviews saying this board is stiff and not as playful as the OG Evil Twin. This in my opinion is completely not true. It is the most flexible board I have ever owned and at the same time has the same amount of pop as my much stiffer Burton FreeThinker. It takes some time to get use to the 3BT but once you do it is a blast. This board locks into rails, jibs like no other and pops off jumps like it was a stiff carbon board. Not sure how that got the crazy flex and pop at the same time but they did it. I have had this board in a foot of powder, on groomers, in the park and a little bit of ice. I would say that it doesn't perform as well as my Lib Techs do on ice because it lacks that edge bite but you can still do it if you need to. You do feel more under your feet when riding fast, or over chunks and chunder, but that is to be expected from a playful board like this one. This is the board for someone who loves to make the whole mount and parks their playground. If you just like to bomb straight down trails or your always on ice this is probably not your best option. You can do those things but just know that it will not have the locked in feel and vibration dampening that you would want for that kind of riding. Over all probably the most fun and most versatile board I own. No complaints at all! Bonus was when I got the board and I noticed you can see the wood core through the semi transparent finish on the center of the board. I didn't see that in the pictures and it looks so awesome in person!
I used my 2023 evil twin Bataleon only like 15 times and the surface and bottom separated from the middle piece… i spent $600 and I can’t even get warranty on it and I had it for only 3 and a half months.. extremely disappointed
Fantastic board, but holy smokes are these bataleon boards fragile. Use caution in lift lines, at home, transporting, etc. After a few months this board has more wear and tear than other boards I’ve had for years.
Fun all mountain destroyer
I had a chance to ride these both on same day and conditions. Both are awesome, but they have some differences as advertised:
-Plus model is more snappy and has better edge hold. Maybe more all-mountain style park board.
-Regular model is easier to ride and more playful. Better for jibbing and buttering.
I would say if you like to ride fast and aggressively, then plus model could be a good choice. If you going to practice new tricks and like to bend your board, then go for regular model.
