Camber Profile
- Low Camber – Lower camber creates a smooth, predictable ride with effortless turn initiation, excellent float in powder, and plenty of response for carving groomers.
- Triple Base Technology™ (3BT) – The center of the base remains flat while the sidebases gradually rise toward the edges, reducing edge catches and creating smoother turn initiation without sacrificing carving performance.
- SideKick™ – Additional sidebase uplift beyond the widest points of the nose and tail improves float, smooths edge-to-edge transitions, and increases confidence through powder and variable snow.
Flex
- 6/10 Flex Rating (Medium) – A responsive all-mountain flex that balances stability for carving with enough forgiveness for playful riding and changing terrain.
Shape
- Directional – A slightly longer nose with a setback stance improves float in powder while maintaining excellent stability and control across the mountain.
- 3D Directional Shape – Bataleon's directional 3D shaping lifts the nose and tail sidebases to improve float, reduce edge catches, and create smoother turn initiation.
Core
- Ultra Light Core – A 70/30 blend of Paulownia and Poplar creates an exceptionally lightweight core with an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio and lively response.
Laminates
- Tri-Ax Fiberglass – Three-way fiberglass weave delivers exceptional strength, precise edge control, and responsive flex for aggressive all-mountain riding.
- Carbon Stringers – Strategically placed carbon reinforcement boosts pop, edge response, and high-speed stability while keeping weight low.
- D.S.T. Super Tubes – Dual carbon Super Tubes positioned along each side of the core increase camber energy, snap, and edge response for a more lively ride.
Base
- Ultra Glide S Base – Premium 7000-grade sintered base delivers exceptional speed, wax absorption, and long-lasting durability in all snow conditions.
Additional Features
- Step Down Rails – A tapered topsheet profile along the sidewalls reduces weight while increasing edge precision and carving performance.
- A-Grade German Stainless Steel Inserts – Premium-quality inserts are built to withstand years of stance adjustments and binding swaps.
