SideKick™ builds on the concept of Triple Base by increasing the sidebase uplift just outside the widest points of the nose and tail. The tips become more like a hull, boosting float in deep snow and slicing through crud. It also helps the board to roll quickly and evenly from edge to edge.

Developed with pro rider Tor Lundström, the all-new Bataleon Tornado is built for advanced to expert-level snowboarders. This directional twin fuses freeride power with freestyle agility, featuring SideKick™ tips, designed to lift contact points for smoother carving and effortless powder float. At the same time, the MultiSync™ sidecut delivers elite edge hold on any terrain. At Tor’s request, we finished this model with a premium 7000-grade sintered base for maximum speed, making this quiver killer ready to beast in all conditions.

SoftStiff
Softer snowboards are easier to press and won't kick your ass if you make a mistake. Stiffer decks are more stable at speed and super responsive edge-to-edge. Choose your poison.
Shape
Outline Shape
Nose Sidebase Uplift
Low
The gradual side base uplift in the nose determines how the board will behave on snow. Most affected are the edge to edge performance and the uplift generated when riding powder.
Tail Sidebase Uplift
Low
The gradual side base uplift in the tail determines how the board will behave on snow. Any amount of uplift brings all the benefits of Triple Base Technology making our boards more versatile than others.
Camber Profile
Medium Camber
Camber profiles are defined from low to high. Higher camber make for more dynamic boards that need to be ridden more aggressively to get maximum performance. Lower camber boards are smoother on lower speeds and in powder. All camber profiles run from nose to tail. Higher is not always better...
3D Shape
3BT™ & Sidekick™
Combining the responsiveness of traditional tip-to-tail camber with the dynamic shaping properties of Triple Base Technology and the performance boosting Sidekick feature makes for a 3D snowboarding experience like no other.
Features
Supertubes™ are hollow carbon cylinders that are inserted directly into the core. They reinforce the camber, reduce weight and greatly increase pop. By varying their location we can fine-tune the board’s performance further.
Construction
Tri-Ax Lamination
Our three-way fiberglass weave is light, strong and crazy responsive. We use this to beef up the flex pattern on our more aggressive boards.
Ultra Glide S
A premium, 7000-grade sintered base reserved for our high-end models. Packing more molecules into the P-tex means it’s super tough and hauls ass.
Ultra Light Core
A 70/30 Paulownia and poplar blend that offers awesome strength to weight.
Flex Walls
Our Urethane Poured Sidewalls offer exceptional shock absorption, reducing chatter and vibration for a smoother, more stable ride. Flexwalls provide flexibility and resilience, allowing the board to maintain its integrity even in extreme conditions. With superior impact resistance, they ensure your snowboard performs at its peak, season after season.
28 Inserts
A-grade German stainless steel inserts make sure you are locked to your board. These high quality inserts can take years of binding stance switches.
Carbon Stringers
Our tried and true carbon layups. We've used them in different areas to fine-tune the feel of each model.
D.R.S.T. SuperTubes
Dual Radial Super Tubes, similar to DST but with four extra Super Tubes (six in total) running parallel to the board radius, delivering extra power to the edges.
+2 Backseat Inserts
Backseat inserts are a set of extra inserts 4cm on the front insert pack and 2cm on the rear insert pack. This allows you to set your bindings all the way back, so you can keep floating on those deep pow days. By shifting your weight back on the board the nose stays up and the pressure on your back leg is reduced.
Step Down Rails Top 3D
This topsheet 3D effect features a slight taper of the deck along the top of the sidewall. This reduces the top-profile, saving weight and adding more precision to your carves.
