Bataleon Whatever Snowboard

The Bataleon Whatever snowboard proves that you don’t need a specialized board to have maximum fun anywhere on the mountain. This versatile all-mountain freestyle snowboard is designed for riders who want to switch seamlessly between groomed runs, side hits, the snowpark, and fresh powder. Thanks to the unique combination of a Directional Twin shape, medium flex, and Bataleon’s renowned 3BT™ technology, the Whatever offers the perfect blend of playfulness, stability, and control. Whether you’re learning your first park tricks or see the entire mountain as one big playground, the Whatever effortlessly adapts to your riding style.

Flex

5/10 - With a flex rating of 4.5 to 6.5, these snowboards are stable on the slopes and offer enough flexibility for the park. It’s the perfect balance between stability and forgiveness.

Shape

Directional Twin—this shape combines characteristics of both a directional and a twin board. It has a symmetrical shape (twin) regarding the nose and tail around the bindings, which provides balance during freestyle moves like spins or switch riding. However, outside the bindings, the nose may be slightly longer than the tail, or the flex may vary from front to back, making the board more suitable for all-mountain riding in one direction. This makes the board versatile, performance-oriented in various snow conditions, and still suitable for park riding.

Rocker Type

3BT™ with SideKick™—This unique design combines a positive camber from nose to tail with raised contact points in the sidebase. The addition of SideKick™ increases the upward pressure on the sides at the widest points, allowing you to make even smoother turns, experience better float in powder, and have more control over your snowboard, even on rough terrain.

Core

Ultra Light Core—Bataleon’s Ultra Light Woodcore is a 70/30 blend of Swiss paulownia and poplar wood, making it the lightest core in the Bataleon lineup. This wood core offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, allowing you to maneuver effortlessly and enjoy quick responsiveness.

Extra 

Triax Laminate—Triax Laminate is a strong, lightweight, and responsive three-layer fiberglass construction that further enhances the flex pattern of more aggressive snowboards. This layer is located beneath the wood core and provides advanced performance and torsional stiffness.

Base

Hyper Glide S Base—The Hyper Glide S Base is Bataleon’s standard sintered base, ensuring durability and unmatched speed. This base is harder and delivers higher speeds on the mountain. Be sure to wax your board regularly to get the most out of this base’s speed and performance.

Rider Level

Intermediate|Advanced - Snowboards for intermediate and advanced riders are designed for most snowboarders who already have some experience and are looking for new challenges and thrills on the slopes. These snowboards typically have a sturdier core and are often wider and stiffer than snowboards for beginners. They’re ideal for snowboarders looking for more speed, stability, and control at higher speeds and on steeper slopes.

Terrain

All-Mountain|Freeride|Freestyle - This snowboard is suitable for any riding style. It’s a versatile beast that’s perfect for exploring the entire mountain, while still being playful enough for freestyle and stiff enough for freeride. As a true all-mountain, freeride, and freestyle board, it can handle all the challenges the mountain has to offer.
