Flex
Flex Rating: (1stiff – 10 soft) 5 moderate flex, the perfect amount of forgiveness and stability. (Note: Bataleon operates of a flex rating, not measured by stiffness. A more flexible board will have a higher number rating associated with it.)
The Bataleon The Jam Snowboard 2012 features Bataleon's Allmountain TBT™, which is optimized for a more directional ride with a slightly narrowed center base for fast edge to edge transitions. An extended center flat space makes for high speed stability, and all this together makes for - you guessed it - an awesome board for someone looking to explore the whole mountain.
Construction and Core
Reactor Core is a poplar core with hardwood enforcements along the sidewalls, delivering precise, powerful turns.
Basalt stingers increase responsiveness and help fine tune layups for more pop and feel
Party Pattern binding setup is 4x2 / 20 inserts that make putting on your bindings a super custom party
Tri-ax laminates over and under the core delivers precision in your riding
Shape
This board features a true twin shape and flex, slightly directional TBT base, as well as centered binding inserts.
Sidewalls, Edges and Base
Sintered Base has great wax absorption and is still tough, but have to be waxed more regularly than an extruded base to get the most out of them.
Lightning edges are thinner than average and enable you to carve with more feeling and precision.
