Bataleon Cruiser Snowboard

Directional
On our more freeride orientated boards the center base is at its most narrow and the uplift is at its highest this creates unparalleled float in pow super fast edge-to-edge transitioning.

SideKick™
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. SideKicks™ are now part of the 3D profile on most of our models. By dramatically increasing the sidebase uplift at the widest points of the nose and tail, turn initiation becomes even smoother, powder float is enhanced and handling is improved in rough terrain. It has to be ridden to be believed!

Bomb Hills Faster
Edges create friction, retain heat and don’t hold wax – all of which slow you down. 3BT™ boards accelerate faster and maintain speed when pointed straight because less of the edges are in contact with the snow, reducing drag. This helps you coast along cat tracks faster, clear jumps and pass skiers on powder days.

Catch Less Edge
The raised edges at the contact points mean there’s less chance of hooking up. Pressure is also dispersed more evenly along the edge, allowing for smoother, more controlled turns. When it comes to freestyle, 3BT™ is more forgiv- ing for butters and more lenient on less-than-perfect landings.

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.

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

Hyper Glide S Base
Our standard sintered base that’s durable and fast - and even faster when you keep it waxed.
