Medium Camber

Freestyle 3BT™ – 3rd generation Freestyle 3BT™ has the added benefit of SideKick. The sidebase and centerbase are proportional in width. The sidebase starts with a medium uplift angle and dramatically increases at the widest point of the board. This shape is the most versatile in the line and offers a powerful reactive ride with freestyle tendencies and powder float.

Flex Rating – 4 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

99% Twin – Keeping true twin beneath the contact points with a longer nose and shorter tail. This shape produces a twin feel with increased performance in powder, great for all-mountain slayers.

SideKick™ – SideKick™ dramatically increases the sidebase uplift just outside the widest points of the nose and tail. This makes turn initiation smoother, increases float in powder and improves handling of the board in rough terrain.

Light Core – Bataleon's 50-50 Swiss paulownia and poplar woods blend for optimal strength to weight properties.

Dual Super Tubes – Two hollow carbon rods milled into the bottom of the core to enhance pop and give the camber more snap.

Biax Laminate – Traditional and time tested two-way weave of fiberglass is light, strong, and responsive keeping the board snappy without adding torsional stiffness.

Carbon Stringers – Carbon is feather light and adds explosive pop, precise edge control, reactive response, and smooth dampening to a board. It is used in different ways to fine-tune a boards ride characteristics.

ABS Solid Walls – Tried and trusted ABS sidewalls for the best flex to strength ratio.

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