Bataleon Mens Disaster 2021 Bataleon

The Disaster has dominated the jib segment for years. It’s combination of Low Camber, soft flex and subtle JIB 3BT™ shaping is the perfect mix for all types of trouble.

Features:

• Twin
• Low Camber
• Jib 3BT: Optimized for Park riding, the centerbase on Jib 3BT™ is the widest in the range to give you extra stability while jibbing and pressing. 
• Sidekick: SideKick™ Tips enhance 3BT™’s advantages like nothing you experienced before. SideKick™ dramatically increases 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. It has to be ridden to be believed!
• Flip Flop Base: This board has two base colour options to save on waste! We do not get to choose which ones we get, so if you have a preference ask before you buy!

Camber Profile:

Camber

The side profile of camber looks like a rainbow. Tried and true, camber has been the dominant board bend in the snowboard industry for almost 40 years. Adopted from the bend of alpine skis, camber snowboards deliver precise turning and edge control, with spring-loaded pop due to the bend in the board, providing better jumping characteristics. Advanced riders tend to prefer this bend, especially for hard carving and high-speed riding. Even when it comes to softer park snowboards, camber boards deliver exceptional pop and control. 
However, they are not as forgiving of mistakes and can be more difficult to learn or progress on than a rocker or hybrid bend.

Shape:

Twin

A completely symmetrical shape, which thrives in a variety of freestyle situations. At the core of its design, the twin shape features an identical nose and tail shape, which provides an identical feel and predictable maneuverability whether riding regular or switch. Although originally developed with park riders in mind, twin shapes have also grown to be embraced by many all-mountain riders that like to bring a skateboard style riding out of the park and onto the entire mountain.

Flex:

3BT – Triple Base Technology

After lots of research, analyzing, tinkering, and testing, Bataleon came up with their patented 3BT™ shaping technique. All our boards feature tip to tail positive camber in combination with lifted contact points at the widest part of the board. Over the years we perfected 3BT™ to best perform for every kind of riding by fine tuning the synergies between the flat base, side bases, radii and camber.

Flat Base Riding Initiation: The widest section of the board is lifted off the snow while riding flat based allowing you to ride straight without catching edges or needing to keep your edges engaged.

Turn Initiation: With a small amount of pressure and angle, the sidebases start to engage near the bindings, but the pressure remains constant along the contact edge.

On Edge: While on edge, the 3D shaped sidecut forms a complete arc with the snow, offering unparalleled and powerful edge hold.
