23/24 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A playful tapered directional board that shines in powder and the trees (12th of 33 mellow freeride boards, 86.5/100). Its high value for money makes it a good addition to a quiver as a dedicated powder and tree-run board.
Aggressive carving and high-speed riding aren't its thing.
A closer look
These descriptions and scores are linked to this review. They may differ from manufacturer specifications.
Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Camber
Bataleon's medium camber (7.5mm) with 3BT laid on top. The numbers are traditional camber, but 3BT makes the actual feel entirely different from traditional camber. A tapered directional shape with a short overall length.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
Spec'd at 4/10, medium to soft, but in hands-on measurement it felt somewhat stiffer than expected.

For intermediate to advanced riders. Initial adaptation is needed — some report it takes two or three days to get used to the 3BT feel.
