Flex Rating: 5.5 (1 Soft – 10 Stiff). Freeride snowboard that is intended for riding anywhere, anytime, anyway.

Wood (Poplar) with tri-ax over the woodcore with Bi-ax under the core creates an easy flex with lots of feel. Bataleon’s Triple Base Technology (TBT): The key lies in the dynamic base split into three separate riding bases front and rear of the bindings. It allows for normal camber over the entire length of the snowboard which gives stability at high speeds, support at landings and it distributes the rider’s weight and pressure evenly along the steel edge. At the same time, the Triple Base lifts the edges progressively towards the nose and tail and takes the aggressiveness away from the widest parts of the snowboard, but gives you all the edgegrip you may want at a slight tilt of the snowboard. The FREERIDE TBT base on the 2010 Bataleon Omni Snowboard base shape has the flat part extended further back with complimentary setback for the kind of riding where you work that back leg. Bataleon also put more uplift in the nose than in the tail to enhance floating on powder and deep, hard turns.

Synthduded 2555 Base is a bit faster than Bataleon’s extruded version (before waxing) and still easy to fix.
