Bataleon Snowboards 2010-2011

While the other snowboard companies are thinking of all the different ways to bend boards from tip to tail, Bataleon snowboards patented the idea of bending your base from rail to rail since 1997.  Their Triple Base Technology is offered on all their snowboards in a variety of flavors for twin for park and rails, freestyle for all-around riding and freeride for setback freeriding and enhanced to float in the powder.

Their Triple Base Technology (TBT) creates a dynamic base split into 3 parts. It allows for normal camber over the entire length of the board which gives stability at high speeds, support, distributes the riders weight and pressure evenly among the edge.  At the same time, the triple base lifts the steel edges progressively towards the nose and tail taking the aggressiveness away from the widest parts of the board but gives you all the edgegrip you may want at a slight tilt of the board.

In my opinion, Bataleon is like the jager of snowboarding.  It’s in it’s own category but after one shot…you are hooked.
