Board
Construction

Bataleon snowboards are built using the best available materials.
Drawing on years of research and development, we select the right components
for each model and tailor the construction to its desired riding characteristics.

Woodcore

Super Ultra
Light Core

Our lightest core features an 80/20 blend of Paulownia and poplar for the ultimate in featherweight response.

Woodcore

Ultra
Light Core

A 70/30 Paulownia and poplar blend that offers awesome strength to weight.

Woodcore

Light
Core

50/50 Paulownia and poplar creates a balanced core that’s lively yet strong.

Woodcore

Core
Core

Full poplar with hardwood beech stringers to strengthen the boards backbone, reinforce the inserts and increase pop.

Woodcore

Pop
Core

Our classic reliable full poplar woodcore.

Special Sauce

AirRide
Technology

We incorporated a flexible composite material into the woodcore along the 3BT™ crease points to dampen vibration at high speed and make your snowboard smoother in all conditions. Think of it as a top of the line suspension system for your snowboard.

Base

Nano Speed S
Base

The fastest base money can buy, produced using race-grade ISOSPORT 7000 P-tex.

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.

Base

Hyper
Glide S

Our standard sintered base that’s durable and fast – and even faster when you keep it waxed.

Base

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.

Layup & Laminate

PreCured 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.

Layup & Laminate

Carbon
Stringers

Our tried and tested carbon layups. We deploy them in different areas to fine-tune the feel of each model.

Layup & Laminate

Carbon
Tri-Ax

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sidewalls

Solid Walls
Sidewall

We use tried and trusted ABS sidewalls for most of the collection. For the best flex to strength ratio.

Sidewalls

Shock Walls
Sidewall

This is our Urethane infused sidewall technology. ShockWalls smooth out your ride and are more resistant to impact.

Inserts

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.

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.

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.

Topsheet 3D

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.
