2026 Bataleon Whatever Snowboard
The 2026 Bataleon Whatever is a true all-terrain utility board for riders who want one deck that can literally do it all. Whether you're carving groomers, lapping side hits, or venturing into a powder stash, the Whatever handles it with pop, control, and fun-loving agility. While it may look directional, it features a Twin 3BT™ surface for true freestyle capability, combining the feel of a twin with extra stability when riding forward. A Medium Camber profile with SideKick™ and a mid flex keep it powerful yet playful. A new shape update for 2026 makes this all-mountain quiver killer even more versatile and responsive—whatever you're riding, the Whatever is ready.

- Triple Base Technology™ (3BT) – 3D shaping lifts the contact points at the nose and tail for smoother edge transitions, catch-free riding, and added float.
- SideKick™ – Boosts sidebase uplift at the widest points for better handling in uneven snow and easier turn initiation.
- Medium Nose / Medium Tail Uplift – Balanced shaping front and back keeps the ride stable, versatile, and capable across all terrain.
Flex
- 5/10 (Medium) – A versatile flex pattern that’s playful enough for freestyle but stable enough for all-mountain control.

Core
- Light Core – A 50/50 blend of Poplar and Paulownia for a lightweight, strong, and energetic flex pattern.
- Dual SuperTubes (D.S.T.) – Two hollow carbon tubes placed on either side of the core to increase pop and edge response without adding weight.
