Bataleon Men’s Goliath + Wide Snowboard 2023 Bataleon

Every ones favorite Directional Twin get the plus treatment. Lighter woodcore featuring AirRide Technology, more carbon and the faster base we could source. Better faster in black and silver.

Profile: Camber
Terrain: Park/Resort/Pow
Response: Medium

Features:

3BT Technology: Through lots of research, analyzing, tinkering, and testing, Bataleon came up with the patented 3BT™ shaping technique. All Bataleon boards feature tip to tail positive camber in combination with lifted contact points at the widest part of the board. Over the years Bataleon has 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

The widest section of the board is lifted off the snow while riding flat based. This allows you to ride straight without hooking up or needing to keep your edges engaged.

 Turn Initiation

When set on a slight angle, the sidebase starts to engage near the bindings. Unlike traditional flat boards, 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 grip and turning power.

• 3BT Sidebase Nose Uplift: Medium
• 3BT Centerbase Width: Medium
• 3BT Sidebase Tail Uplift: Medium
• Camber Profile: Medium
• Solid Walls Sidewall
• Ultra Glide S Base: A premium, 7000-grade sintered base reserved for the high-end models. Packing more molecules into the P-tex means it’s super tough and hauls ass
• 3BT: Triple Base Technology™ is awesome. The lifted sidebase areas at the widest points of the board make a lot of sense. The boards turn smoother and faster and it helps when you are not completely clean on your landings.
• Sidekick: 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.
• Air Ride Technology: An additive included within the woodcore of select models, which dampens vibrations and makes riding smoother at high speeds. It’s like having a suspension system in your snowboard.
• C.S.T. Supertubes: Central Super Tube. Hollow carbon core upgrades that are inserted into the core. The hollow carbon tubes greatly increase the woodcore’s pop and reduce weight.
• Carbon Stringers Extra Layup: Tried and tested carbon layups. Bataleon deploy them in different areas to fine-tune the feel of each model.
• Triax Laminate: A three-way weave of fiberglass is light, strong and responsive. We use this to beef up the flex pattern.
• S.U.L.C. Woodcore: Bataleon’s lightest core features an 80/20 blend of Swiss Paulownia and poplar for the ultimate in featherweight response.
• Flip Flop Base: Producing two or more base color options minimizes p-tex waste. That is why you will find flip flop base options on most die-cut bases. Usually this is not an option at checkout, but a fun little surprise!
• Wide: A wider waist width for those with larger footprints. Recommended for boot sizes 11.5+

Profile: Camber

Precision, control and pop.

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.

Shape: Directional Twin

Directional twins are a combination of true twins and directional boards, combining the best elements of both designs to create one versatile board that can do it all.

Flex: 7 (Scale 1 – 10)

Versatility at its finest. From the park to the peak, and anywhere in between.

Base: Sintered

High-end base material that is harder, more durable, and faster than extruded bases.
