Bataleon Men's Snowboard - Thunder - 2023

Infos provided by Bataleon:

The Thunder is a straight-up speed freak that’s built for aggressive resort shredding and turbo-charged powder descents. Powerful riders will dig the smooth response we’ve dialed in through generous use of carbon and a beveled top-sheet towards the waist.

Sportmania's Opinion: The Thunder is a directional Freeride board with which you can absolutely shred the entire resort and everything beyond. With the Thunder, you'll destroy any terrain on the mountain. It is made to lay down the hardest lines and fastest rides with you. All in all an absolute must for rider who are in need of the best sensations.

Features:

3BT Triple base 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.

SideKick™
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
A space-age E-TPU foam that provides next-level chatter and impact absorption no matter the conditions.

Specs:

Layup & Laminate: 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.

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

Special Sauce: 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.

Base: Ultra Glide S
A premium, 7000-grade sintered base reserved for our high-end models. Packing more molecules into the P-tex means it’s super tough and hauls ass.

Layup & Laminate: Carbon Stringers
Our tried and tested carbon layups. We deploy them in different areas to fine-tune the feel of each model.

Inserts: +2 Backseat Inserts
Backseat inserts are an set of extra inserts 4cm behind the bottom inserts. 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 more back on the board the nose stays up and the pressure on you back leg is reduced.

Topsheet 3D: Step Down Rails Top 3D
This topsheet 3D effect features a slight taper of the deck along the top of the sidewall. This reduces the top-profile, saving weight and adding more precision to your carves.

Sidewalls: Solid Walls Sidewall
We use tried and trusted ABS sidewalls for most of the collection. For the best flex to strength ratio.
