2025 Bataleon Thunderstorm Snowboard
Ride the lightning.
The ThunderStorm is your go-to for high-energy resort action and powder thrills. A directional ride that has no problem going switch, making it a versatile hybrid 3D Freeride board that effortlessly handles Freestyle too. Part of the genderless collection, it comes in an array of lengths for riders of all sizes.
Camber Profile
- Low Camber – Camber profiles are defined from low to high. Higher camber make for more dynamic boards that need to be ridden more aggressively to get maximum performance. Lower camber boards are smoother on lower speeds and in powder. All camber profiles run from nose to tail.
- 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.
Flex
- Flex Rating – 6 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Shape
- Directional
- Medium Tail Uplift
- High Nose Uplift
Core
- Ultra Light Core – A 70/30 Paulownia and poplar blend that offers awesome strength to weight.
- AirRide™ – AirRide™ is an additive we include within the woodcore of select models, which dampens vibrations and makes riding smoother at high speeds. It’s like having a suspension system in your snowboard.
Laminates
- Tri-Ax Laminate – Bataleon's three-way fiberglass weave is light, strong and crazy responsive. It is used to beef up the flex pattern on more aggressive boards.
- Carbon Stringers – This board has two carbon stringers placed in both the nose and tail. The nose stringers run from the front insert to just behind the contact points and the tail stringers run from the insert to the tail. This gives you more pop and power in your tail for backseat steering and more torsional stiffness in your nose for powering through powder and carves.
- D.S.T. Super Tubes – Dual Super Tubes, a Super Tube on either side of the board enhances pop and gives the camber more snap.
Sidewalls
- Flex Walls
Base
- Ultra Glide S – A premium, 7000-grade sintered base reserved for our high-end models. Packing more molecules into the P-tex means it’s super tough and hauls ass.
Additional Features
- Step Down Rails – This topsheet 3D effect features a slight taper of the deck along the top of the sidewall. This reduces the top-profile, saving weight and adding more precision to your carves.
Binding Compatibility
- 2 x 4 Insert Pattern
