The Whatever outline shape is the most directional in this category, but make no mistake the contact surface is completely twin. If you want the best of both worlds, going twin and directional in one ride this is the board for you. Park day? Hot laps? Powder lines? It’s like, yeah whatever!

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

4.0

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

68

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 Twin

Boards that need to excel both on the slopes and out of bounds are shaped with evenly proportioned center and side bases and a medium uplift striking the optimal balance for freestyle and freeriding.

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.

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.

Special Sauce

D.S.T.
Super Tubes

Dual Super Tubes, a Super Tube on either side of the board enhances pop and gives the camber more snap.

Base

Hyper
Glide S

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

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.

Sidewalls

Shock Walls
Sidewall

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

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

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.

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.

A terrific board, I took it on a trip to Andorra and got a lucky powder day. Board went really well in powder and felt nice and floaty. It also excelled in normal resort conditions and carved on groomers and slush alike. A great one quiver board with a surfy feel in powder. As the names suggests, it will work in Whatever the conditions.

Fun.

Riding 159w with Rome katanas

Honestly one of the most fun playful boards I’ve ridden.

I’m an advanced rider. The 23 whatever looks amazing in person and the quality of the top sheet seems improved from some older bataleon / lobster decks.

I have about 15 days on it this season. My first 3 days ridding it at big white in BC, we got 18 inches of pow. I pushed this thing hard in out of bounds powder bowls, steep tight trees with knee deep pow and it really surprised me… the shape and 3BT really compensate for it being a true twin camber(the shape is directional but it rides like a twin) in powder. I put a half inch set back and had some very minor back leg fatigue after 5 hours of slashing and charging deeps. Impressive considering this is where this board would struggle in my mind.

Went out a couple more times on groomers with the wife. It’s a fun carver, but does get a bit of chatter at really high speeds (soft flex) but never where I felt out of control.. just feels lively under foot.

It did take me a couple attempts to get the hang of carving with 3BT .. that said, if you know how to carve and get the board on its side, it snaps edge to edge really nice and quick. It accelerates out of a carve pretty good… but 3BT is a bit weird at first and I washed out the first couple deep heel side carves I tried to push through my back foot out of the bottom of the carve. That said, it has a sweet spot that once your find it, it will spring you out of the carve with more speed. I wouldn’t suggest learning to carve on this board.. pretty easy to skid turns and it doesn’t lock a carve early (kinda floats into the edge if that makes sense) .

It has a shorter turn radius so I found it excelled in tight quick carves.., but you can definitely lay a trench if the conditions are right. The soft flex and lively camber make it really fun for moguls and trees.

Now the fun part. Freestyle: this board has a ver very easy to access pop. It wants to jump and ollie. I found it pretty stable for landings as well on medium to large jumps (biggest jumps I’m comfortable with are around 15-20). I’m not a BIG jumps kind of rider so if that’s what your looking for .. I’d suggest something a bit stiffer. It absolutely loves side hits and sketchy transitions (3BT lets you not be perfect on landings).

The flex and 3BT make this board so fun to press and butter. I was able to 360 nose roll really easy on first attempt and by the end of the day, felt comfortable buttering over rollers into 180s and Cabaleros. It’s very forgiving, so for me, it gives me confidence to play and try new tricks. It also board slides really well, hugging the feature nice without clapping. The nose press on bataleon boards is something everyone should feel.

Lastly, switch. It rides like a true twin honestly. I couldn’t tell any difference with the carve in either direction. Switch landings felt really good.

I would say it can be a quiver killer if you’re a resort rider that leans more to freestyle. It’s my daily driver, but I like a soft flex and don’t really dig charging down cliffs haha.
