Bataleon Whatever snowboard

Looks cool, rides cool! A cool-as-hell tail shape was integrated into a directional twin running length to make the Whatever snowboard equal parts fun to ride and look at. This unisex board is built for the intermediate to advanced rider, and is one of the most versatile slope tools in the collection. Lively and stable, just like you’d want your partner - we designed the Whatever to handle anything that you’ll come across at the resort.

Flex:
- Softer snowboards are easier to press and won´t kick your ass if you make a mistake. Stiffer decks are more stable at speed and super responsive edge-to-edge. Choose your poison.

Medium Camber:
- Camber profiles are defined from low to high. Higher camber make for more dynamic boards that need to be ridden more aggressively to get maximum performance. Lower camber boards are smoother on lower speeds and in powder. All camber profiles run from nose to tail. Higher is not always better...

3BT™ & Sidekick™:
- Combining the responsiveness of traditional tip-to-tail camber with the dynamic shaping properties of Triple Base Technology and the performance boosting Sidekick feature makes for a 3D snowboarding experience like no other.

Bi-Ax Lamination:
- A traditional two-way weave that is light, strong and playful; it keeps the board snappy without adding torsional stiffness, which is great for getting creative.

Light Core:
- 50/50 Paulownia and poplar creates a balanced core that’s lively yet strong.

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.

28 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´ve used them in different areas to fine-tune the feel of each model.

D.S.T. SuperTubes:
- Dual Super Tubes, a Super Tube on either side of the board enhances pop and gives the camber more snap.

Flip Flop Base:
- Die-cut bases are like a jigsaw. Flip Flop minimizes waste by using two or more color options for each piece. That means more unique graphics and less environmental harm.

+2 Backseat Inserts:
- Backseat inserts are a set of extra inserts 4cm on the front insert pack and 2cm on the rear insert pack. This allows you to set your bindings all the way back, so you can keep floating on those deep pow days. By shifting your weight back on the board the nose stays up and the pressure on your back leg is reduced.

Technology:

3BT™ :
- 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.

Supertubes™:
- 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.
