For this special 20th Anniversary edition, we dove into the vault to combine elements from our favorite OG Evil Twins. Featuring the vibrant neon color from one of the first limited editions and the original duotone hand base style, this board pays homage to its roots. Of course, we couldn’t resist adding the new Smiley Face graphic, celebrating the legacy of the most iconic Evil Twin of them all.
Technology
At the heart of every Bataleon is a combination of 3BT™ and positive camber. It’s an innovative solution to the profile puzzle that minimizes the potential for edge-catch without sacrificing ollie power or carving performance. From this starting point, we fine-tune each element according to the boards desired riding style.
3D shaping
SideKick™ builds on the concept of Triple Base by increasing the sidebase uplift just outside the widest points of the nose and tail. The tips become more like a hull, boosting float in deep snow and slicing through crud. It also helps the board to roll quickly and evenly from edge to edge.
Construction
Supertubes™ are hollow carbon cylinders that are inserted directly into the core. They reinforce the camber, reduce weight and greatly increase pop. By varying their location we can fine-tune the board’s performance further.
Tri-Ax Lamination
Our three-way fiberglass weave is light, strong and crazy responsive. We use this to beef up the flex pattern on our more aggressive boards.
Ultra Light Core
A 70/30 Paulownia and poplar blend that offers awesome strength to weight.
Hyper Glide S
Our standard sintruded base that’s durable and fast – and even faster when you keep it waxed.
Flex Walls
Our Urethane Poured Sidewalls offer exceptional shock absorption, reducing chatter and vibration for a smoother, more stable ride. Flexwalls provide flexibility and resilience, allowing the board to maintain its integrity even in extreme conditions. With superior impact resistance, they ensure your snowboard performs at its peak, season after season.
24 Inserts
A-grade German stainless steel inserts make sure you are locked to your board. These high quality inserts can take years of binding stance switches.
Carbon Stringers
Our tried and true carbon layups. We instead them in different areas to fine-tune the feel of each model.
C.S.T. SuperTubes
Central Super Tube, a single Super Tube down the middle of the board enhances pop without stiffening the board torsionally. Great for jibbing.
