Camber Profile
- Medium Camber – Balanced camber profile delivers powerful edge hold, pop, and stability while remaining versatile enough for every condition on the mountain.
- SideKick™ 2.0 – Increased sidebase uplift beyond the widest points of the nose and tail creates smoother turn initiation, improved float in powder, and more forgiving handling through rough snow.
Flex
- 8/10 Flex Rating (Stiff) – Powerful flex provides excellent stability, precision, and confidence for aggressive riding at speed.
Shape
- Directional Twin – Twin-inspired shape with a slightly longer nose delivers freestyle versatility while improving float and stability when riding forward.
- 3D Directional Twin – Bataleon's 3D shaping is tuned specifically for directional twin boards, adding sidebase uplift at the widest points of the nose and tail for smoother edge transitions and enhanced float.
Core
- Ultra Light Core – A 70/30 Paulownia and Poplar blend creates an exceptionally lightweight core with an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio and lively response.
Laminates
- Tri-Ax Fiberglass – Three-way fiberglass weave delivers maximum strength, precise edge control, and responsive flex for aggressive riding.
- Carbon Stringers – Strategically placed carbon reinforcement boosts pop, edge response, and stability while keeping weight low.
- D.R.S.T. Super Tubes – Six hollow carbon tubes run parallel to the sidecut radius, dramatically increasing edge power, response, and overall precision.
- Aramid X-Ply – Kevlar-reinforced diamond weave laminate increases torsional stiffness and stability without adding excessive weight.
Base
- Ultra Glide S Base – Premium 7000-grade sintered base offers exceptional speed, durability, and wax absorption for maximum glide in all conditions.
Additional Features
- Step Down Rails – Tapered topsheet profile reduces weight while increasing carving precision and edge-to-edge responsiveness.
- +2 Backseat Inserts – Additional inserts positioned 40mm behind the standard stance allow for increased setback and improved float on deep powder days.
- Developed with Tor Lundström & Beyond Medals – Designed in collaboration with Tor Lundström and the Beyond Medals crew to perform in every condition from park laps to big mountain lines.
- A-Grade German Stainless Steel Inserts – Premium-quality inserts are built to withstand years of stance adjustments and binding swaps.
