Rocker Type

3BT™ (Triple Base Technology) with SideKick™ – All Bataleon boards feature tip to tail positive camber in combination with lifted sidebase contact points. SideKick™ Tips enhance 3BT’s advantages like nothing you experienced before by dramatically increasing the sidebase uplift at the widest points of the nose and tail. This makes turn initiation even smoother, increases float in powder and handling of the board in rough terrain.

Sidebase Uplift – Medium Tail / High Nose

Dynamic Camber

Flex

Flex Rating – 5 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

Shape

SideKick™ – SideKick™ dramatically increases the sidebase uplift just outside the widest points of the nose and tail. This makes turn initiation smoother, increases float in powder and improves handling of the board in rough terrain.

Freeride 3BT™ – Freeride 3BT has a narrow centerbase and substantial sidebase uplift. The focus here is on edge control and versatility. These shapes have proven to be functional and competent in all conditions. Floating better than other brand’s powder specific boards yet holding an unbelievable edge while carving on slopes.

Directional Tapered Outline

Core

Light Core – Bataleon's 50-50 Swiss paulownia and poplar woods blend for optimal strength to weight properties.

Laminates

Triax Laminate – Three-way weave of fiberglass is light, strong, and responsive. Bataleon uses this to beef up the flex pattern.

Carbon Stringers – Carbon is feather light and adds explosive pop, precise edge control, reactive response, and smooth dampening to a board. It is used in different ways to fine-tune a boards ride characteristics.

Dual Super Tubes – Two hollow carbon rods milled into the bottom of the core to enhance pop and give the camber more snap.

Sidewalls

ABS Solid Walls – Tried and trusted ABS sidewalls for the best flex to strength ratio.

Base

Hyper Glide S – Bataleon's standard sintered base that's tough and fast -- and even faster when waxed.

Flip Flop Base – Boards with Flip Flop bases have two or more base color variations. Bataleon uses this process to reduce waste.

Additional Features

Backseat Inserts – For the deepest pow days, slam your stance rearward for maximum flotation.
