Freeride 3BT – This flavor is a directional 3BT which features a narrow centerbase and more sidebase uplift area. With more angle in the nose than in the tail, this 3BT is optimized for backseat steering, high-speed traction, and maximum powder float. Expect quick edge-to-edge transfers and quick powerful carves.

Sidebase Uplift – Tip: Medium Uplift | Tail: Low Uplift

Reactor Core – Full poplar with beech hardwood running tip to tail along the edges to improve the board's all-mountain riding characteristics. Beech is stronger than poplar and fortifies the board's sidewall and edges against impacts while also generating more precise edge hold, pop and response along the edges.

TriAx Plus – Bataleon's very own special blend of triaxial fiberglass. It's lighter, stronger and more responsive than traditional triaxial fiberglass.

Basalt Stringers – Basalt is explosive rock power from the earth's core. Like carbon and Kevlar, basalt is strong, light, snappy and more affordable.

Solid Walls – The go-to material for flex, weight savings, and durability along the edge.

Super Slick X – Not a basic extruded base. It has the highest molecular content available for an extruded base. That mean's it's super slick, durable and maintenance-free.

2 x 4 Inserts

Heel Pillow/Pad – Every baseplate comes stuffed with a fluffy heel pillow for cushioning. It's like a down pillow for your feet.

Pad Positioning – All padding is adjustable to fit the sole size of your boots. As an added performance benefit, the pads can be moved inward to increase toeside response slid outward to decrease toeside response.

ST Pad – ST Pads offer the ideal balance between response and cushioning for all types of riding.

Wrapback – Originally developed by Halldor, these anatomically wrapping high-backs provide more calf support to make those presses proper and help stick landings. They're slightly rotated and have adjustable forward lean for the perfect amount of response and control.

Clean Forward Lean – Discrete forward lean adjustment at the hinges adds highback angle while still providing a seamless fit with the highback and heelcup. This keeps heel and toe drag to a minimum and power transfer more direct.

Eames Strap – Switchback's Eames straps are composed of pre-curved foam wrapped in a durable, leather-style fabric that cloaks any boot in comfort. The additional outer strap helps spread pressure evenly across the instep. These straps suit riders looking for more response, support and comfort.

Easy Access – Switchback's strap design allows the straps to naturally fall open and away for easy in and out. Get in and out quickly without stepping on your straps.

Tool-Free Ladders – These straps are easy to adjust for fit and riding style and require no tools to do so. The straps simply snap in, as do their highbacks and baseplate padding. No worries of losing nuts, screws or your head, ever!
