The ThunderStorm is your go-to for high-energy resort action and powder thrills. A directional ride that has no problem going switch, making it a versatile hybrid 3D Freeride board that effortlessly handles Freestyle too. Part of our genderless collection, it comes in an array of lengths for riders of all sizes.
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.
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.
Construction 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.
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.
Ultra Light Core A 70/30 Paulownia and poplar blend that offers awesome strength to weight.
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.
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.
24 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 tested carbon layups. We deploy 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.
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.
