Bataleon Women’s Storm Snowboard 2023 Bataleon

Drawing on the best elements of the Push Up and adding a more pow friendly nose, the award-winning Storm has become an instant favorite of team riders Annika Morgan and Klaudia Medlova. It’s quick edge to edge, stable over jumps and easy to ride switch, but duck the ropes and it chews backcountry lines for breakfast. A one-board quiver that’s so good we had to give the guys their own version with the Thunder.

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: High
• 3BT Sidebase Tail Uplift: Medium
• Camber Profile: Medium
• Solid Walls Sidewall
• Hyper Glide S Base: A standard sintered base that’s durable and fast – and even faster when you keep it waxed.
• 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.
• Triax Laminate: This three-way fiberglass weave is light, strong and crazy responsive. We use this to beef up the flex pattern on our more aggressive boards.
• Light Core Woodcore: 50/50 Paulownia and poplar creates a balanced core that’s lively yet strong.
• D.S.T. Super Tubes: Dual Super Tubes, a Super Tube on either side of the board enhances pop and gives the camber more snap.
• Carbon Stringers: Tried and tested carbon layups. We deploy them in different areas to fine-tune the feel of each model.
• Solid Walls Sidewalls: Tried and trusted ABS sidewalls for most of the collection. For the best flex to strength ratio.
• Super Tubes: A space-age E-TPU foam that provides next-level chatter and impact absorption no matter the conditions.

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

Flex: 5 (Scale 1 – 10)

From the park to the peak and everywhere in between.

Base: Sintered

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