24/25 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The brand's stiffest all-mountain freestyle board, with high camber and low 3BT, showing its strengths in high-speed stability and on large jumps. In situations needing flexibility — buttering, short carves, jibbing — that stiff flex becomes a major drawback instead.
It's a board recommended only, and with reservations, to advanced riders who enjoy fast slopestyle and large jumps.

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
A high-camber base with abundant traditional camber from contact point to contact point, combined with low-intensity 3BT (Three-Stage Rocker) and sidekick. The low 3BT makes edging comparatively smooth and helps shed snow sideways in powder.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
The stiffest board in the Battalion lineup. Tip, midsection and torsional flex are all very stiff, with defined flex points just outside the front and rear insert packs. Behind the rear insert pack it's stiffer than the nose, providing excellent stability at speed.

Rider levels suggested in the review
Advanced
The stiffest board in the Battalion lineup — very stiff from tip to midsection with strong torsional stiffness, specialised for high-speed riding and big jumps. It isn't suited to beginners; it's a board for advanced riders handling jumps of 45ft and up.
What the review liked
- ✓Excellent stability and damping at speed allow a comfortable ride with no buckling through bumps and firm snow
- ✓On large jumps (45 ft and up) it compresses into the lip then delivers powerful pop, with abundant camber producing high power and snap
- ✓Rebound optimised for fast slopestyle jibbing in an all-mountain freestyle setting
What the review found lacking
- —The flex is too stiff for low-speed tricks such as buttering, jibbing and short turns, making it very hard work and tiring
- —Insufficient torsional flex in aggressive carves makes it hard to lay the board over, and turning in tight spaces is awkward
- —Loading the board takes a lot of effort, and the pop response is slower than competing boards in its class
