Bataleon Evil Twin+ Snowboard
We present to you probably the biggest icon among Bataleon snowboards – Evil Twin+ . And believe us, you will collect a lot of plus points. With the lightest core, the fastest base and the most advanced materials, it is difficult not to be the best. Thanks to the perfect damping properties, you will feel that the board is ironing out uneven terrain underneath you and nothing will knock you down even at high speeds or when landing from a jump. In short, the ultimate freestyle board, which is a combination of performance and innovation.
Shape & characteristics
- Flex: 6/10
- Terrain: park 10/10, resort 10/10, powder 8/10
- Twin shape - park boards are designed with a wider middle and a slight side lift for a stable landing and forgiving maneuverability
- Medium Camber - the medium camber level is versatile for varying speeds and optimal response
- Medium Nose & Tail Uplift - The uplift of the sides in the nose and tail characterizes the behavior of the board on snow. A board with low uplift will provide better edge control, a higher uplift will allow for great float in powder.
Design & technology
- 3BT™ – Triple Base Technology – At the heart of every Bataleon is the combination of 3BT™ and camber. This is an innovative 3D board profile solution that minimizes edge catching without limiting energy when ollie or carving. The board shape is further tuned for a specific riding style.
- SideKick™ – enhances the benefits of 3BT, dramatically increasing the lift of the side core at the widest points of the tip and tail. This makes turn initiation even smoother, improving float in powder and board control in challenging terrain.
- Super Tubes – hollow carbon cylinders embedded directly into the core. They increase camber, reduce weight and increase pop. They are positioned differently on each board to support its specific character.
- C.S.T. - Central Super Tube - a separate Super Tube reinforcement running through the center of the board, increases pop and does not affect torsional rigidity, great for jibbing.
- AirRide™ – an additive added to the wood core of select models that dampens vibrations and allows for a smoother ride at high speeds. It's like having a suspension system in your snowboard.
- Tri-Ax Lamination - Tri-Axial fiberglass lamination is lightweight and provides extra responsiveness. Used to enhance the flex of more aggressive boards.
- Ultra Light Core Woodcore – the lightest wood core made of paulownia and poplar in a ratio of 70/30 for a great weight-to-strength ratio.
- Nano Speed S Base - the fastest base you can dream of, made of racing material ISOSPORT 7000 P-tex.
- Carbon Stringers – specifically positioned carbon reinforcements for specific tuning of each board.
- Flex Walls - Molded urethane sidewalls offer exceptional cushioning, shock reduction and vibration absorption. Offers flexibility and durability in extreme conditions.
- 24 Inserts – top-quality steel inserts of German quality.
- Aramid X-Ply – an exclusive feature of the Plus series boards. A layer of special material covers the entire surface of the board, providing torsional stability and exceptional damping properties. Thanks to this, the snowboard remains durable and responsive even in very demanding conditions. Aramid X-Ply supports control, reduces vibrations and gives you an overall smoother ride.
How to choose a snowboard
When choosing a snowboard, it is important that it matches the level and experience of the rider and his overall physical constitution - i.e. height and weight. A beginner with no previous experience should choose a snowboard that is not too specific in its parameters for a specific snowboarding style.
Advanced riders usually prefer a specific style – freeride (freeride / pow), freestyle (park riding on obstacles, jumps) or universal/allround (riding on the slope).
VIDEO: How to Choose a Snowboard
The Length of the Snowboard
The length of the snowboard should generally be up to the chin. If the rider is still expected to grow, the size should be chosen between the chin and the nose. For freestyle you can choose a slightly shorter board, but this is not a rule. A board that is too short could make you oversteer in a turn, while a board that is too long makes it difficult to transition into a turn and is generally harder to control.
Weight of the Rider
Each snowboard has a specific weight tolerance - the range of minimum and maximum rider weight. When choosing a snowboard, it is important to consider whether the rider is within this weight tolerance or not. If the rider is too light for the chosen snowboard, they will not flex enough in the turn, will not ride the full length of the effective edge and will not take advantage of the board's characteristics. Riders weighing above the weight tolerance risk overloading the snowboard or damaging it.
If you're not sure if the snowboard you've chosen suits your weight, ask us!
The Width of the Snowboard
The width of the snowboard is also an important parameter. It is important that the rider does not reach the toes or heels of the boots to the slope when riding in an arc. Riders with a boot size of UK 10.5 (EUR 45) and larger should look for wide versions of snowboards. With such a board they will be able to cut arcs without grinding the slope with their toes. There are also snowboards in mid-wide (slightly wider boards) and superwide (wide boards for really big feet) versions.
Flex (Stiffness and Flexibility) of the Snowboard
Softer boards are more suitable for beginners, are easier to control and forgive more mistakes. They are also sought after by freestyle riders who spend most of their time jibbing (riding over obstacles). However, at faster speeds, a soft snowboard is no longer obedient in the arc and cannot bounce as nimbly as a stiffer board.
Stiffer boards require experienced, fast to aggressive riding. When ridden fast, it holds better on edge and overall on frozen surfaces. The choice of a very stiff snowboard depends on the rider's experience, riding style as well as weight - lighter riders should opt for a softer snowboard instead. Not sure how stiff your snowboard is? Ask us!
Women's Snowboards
Women's snowboards take into account the specifics of the female figure. Girls have a different centre of gravity than men, their feet are smaller and their height/weight ratio is also different. All these differences are reflected in the geometry and construction of women's snowboards.
Women's snowboards are narrower, usually softer, and inserts are moved a few millimetres closer to the centre compared to the men's version.
Types of Snowboard Bends
Another criterion when choosing a new snowboard is also the type of bend, such as camber, rocker, flat and various hybrid bends such as 3D camber, double camber etc. The best way to know the type is to put the snowboard on a flat floor and look at its profile to see where it is bent and which parts of the base are touching the ground.
A beginner will be most comfortable with a rocker that is more forgiving of mistakes. The opposite camber bend is better suited for more experienced riders, as it can bite the edge more easily, so it's good to have the snowboard under maximum control, and it has more pop and more precise control over the rocker. The flat shape with almost zero flex provides stability in all terrain, but is most used in snowpark. The hybrid flex is a combination of camber and rocker together, making it a versatile all-mountain board.
Balance of Components
The individual components of the snowboard equipment should be balanced. High-end snowboard assumes a higher model of bindings and snowboard boots. The equipment should be a balanced unit. Manufacturers often list recommended combinations of components in their catalogues and websites.
If you're buying a whole set of gear, it's a good idea to start by choosing your boots. Depending on the size, shape, thickness and possibly the brand of the snowboard boots, the appropriate bindings will be chosen.
For the maximum life of your snowboard, it's a good idea to follow a few rules and tips - these can be found in the article Snowboard maintenance: base and edge care.
