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.
Features
Technology
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.
3D shaping
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.
Construction
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.
Construction
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.
Woodcore
Light Core
50/50 Paulownia and poplar creates a balanced core that’s lively yet strong.
Tech
D.S.T. SuperTubes
Dual Super Tubes, a Super Tube on either side of the board enhances pop and gives the camber more snap.
Layup & Laminate
Carbon Stringers
Our tried and tested carbon layups. We deploy them in different areas to fine-tune the feel of each model.
Base
Hyper Glide S
Our standard sintruded base that’s durable and fast – and even faster when you keep it waxed.
Base Graphic
Flip Flop Base
Die-cut bases are like a jigsaw. Flip Flop minimizes waste by using two or more color options for each piece. That means more unique graphics and less environmental harm.
Inserts
+4 Backseat Inserts
Backseat inserts are 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.

Customer Reviews
I used my Thunder for France trip. It was pretty good. Not quite the board I was promised - it's supposed to be a charger, but it's damn chattery at speed.
I put it all over the three valleys on and off piste and as long as you kept your speed up it kept it's nose up. I've ridden easier boards in pow, but it was OK.
About 5" of delam turned up in the last week right behind the front foot. I saw another complaint about the party wave doing this. I was about yo grab one, but I've had 15 snowboards and not had a delam like this so I think I'll stick to us/euro made...
Got board damaged, but nothing serious. Seller gave me discount. However, after 1 season it unglued around front foot. That’s unfortunate, as board is marvelous and my riding experience was the best so far.
The table appears to be of very good quality and is beautiful. It remains to be tried for this season, what a win!
I have been snowboarding for almost 20 years. I had many boards. And I can confidently say that batalon boards are unique. Their system works. This model of the board - Thunder, gives great stability , even though the board is not the stiffer one. It is perfect.
It's my first Balaleon/3BT snowboard and I love it overall. The only complaint I have is that the color of the base is way off from what the official image shows. Those black parts are not black at all, but light brown. I'm not sure whether it's a manufacturing defect (mine is made in UAE while most of my friends' Bataleon are made in Austria) or it's by design. Besides, there was already some rust on the edge when I received it.
