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
7.0
110
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.
Glassing
Carbon Tri-Ax
New for 2021/22 and exclusive to the Thunder Bolt, we’ve woven carbon directly into the fiberglass for the ultimate in high speed dampening and tip-to-tail response.
Layup & Laminate
Carbon Stringers
Our tried and tested carbon layups. We deploy them in different areas to fine-tune the feel of each model.
Woodcore
Super Ultra Light Core
Our lightest core features an 80/20 blend of Paulownia and poplar for the ultimate in featherweight response.
Tech
D.R.S.T. SuperTubes
Dual Radial Super Tubes, similar to DST but with four extra Super Tubes (six in total) running parallel to the board radius, delivering extra power to the edges.
Glassing
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.
Base
Nano Speed S
The fastest base money can buy, produced using race-grade ISOSPORT 7000 P-tex.
Inserts
+2 Backseat Inserts
Backseat inserts are an set of extra inserts 4cm behind the bottom inserts. This allows you to set your bindings all the way back, so you can keep floating on those deep pow days. By shifting your weight more back on the board the nose stays up and the pressure on you back leg is reduced.
Topsheet
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.
Sidewalls
Solid Walls
We use tried and trusted ABS sidewalls for most of the collection. For the best flex to strength ratio.
Layup & Laminate
Pre-Cured Carbon Stringers
Precured carbon offers even livelier rebound than our regular stringers. We use it to stiffen the tail and improve drive through turns on performance boards like the Surfer.
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.
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.
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.
