Bataleon Thunderstorm 2026

Bataleon Thunderstorm Snowboard 2026

Ride like lightning.

The ThunderStorm is your favorite for action-packed days on the slopes and exciting powder adventures. A directional board that can also handle switch riding, making it a versatile hybrid 3D Freeride board that effortlessly handles Freestyle. As part of our gender-neutral collection, this is available in various lengths for riders of all sizes.

Park: 5/10
Resort: 9/10
Pow: 9/10

Flex:
6/10
(1=Soft, 10=Stiff)
Softer snowboards are easier to press and forgive mistakes. Stiffer boards are more stable at high speeds and super responsive edge to edge.

Float Ratio:
69/100
Maximum volume for a surfy feel in powder, or a smaller surface area for agile freestyle performance. This number is calculated based on length, width, 3D shape and surface distribution.

Shape:

Directional
On our more freeride-oriented boards, the center base is narrowest and the uplift highest, providing unmatched buoyancy in powder and super-fast edge-to-edge transitions.

Low Camber
Camber profiles range from low to high. Higher camber creates dynamic boards that need to be ridden aggressively for maximum performance. Lower camber boards are smoother at lower speeds and in powder. All camber profiles run from nose to tail. Higher isn’t always better…

3BT™ + Sidekick™
By combining the responsiveness of traditional tip-to-tail camber with the dynamic shaping properties of Triple Base Technology and the performance-enhancing Sidekick feature, a 3D snowboard experience like no other is created.

Nose Sidebase Uplift:
High
The gradual uplift of the side in the nose determines how the board behaves on snow. This especially affects edge-to-edge performance and the uplift generated when riding in powder.

Tail Sidebase Uplift:
Low
The gradual uplift of the side in the tail determines how the board behaves on snow. Every uplift brings all the benefits of Triple Base Technology, making our boards more versatile than others.

Construction:

Glassing
Tri-Ax Lamination
Our three-way fiberglass weave is light, strong and super responsive. We use this to reinforce the flex pattern of our more aggressive boards.

Woodcore
Ultra Light Core
A 70/30 mix of Paulownia and poplar that provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio.

Base
Ultra Glide S
A premium, 7000-grade sintered base, reserved for our high-end models. More molecules in the P-tex means it’s super strong and fast.

Layup & Laminate
Carbon Stringers
Our proven carbon layups. We place them in different locations to fine-tune the feel of each model.

Topsheet
Step Down Rails Top 3D
This 3D effect on the topsheet has a slightly tapered top layer along the top of the sidewall. This reduces the top profile, saves weight and adds more precision to your turns.

Technology:

Triple Base Technology™
At the heart of every Bataleon is a combination of 3BT™ and positive camber. It’s an innovative solution to the profile puzzle that minimizes the chance of edge-catch without sacrificing ollie power or carving performance. From this starting point, we refine each element according to the board’s desired riding style.

SideKick™
SideKick™ builds on the Triple Base concept by increasing the side uplift just outside the widest points of the nose and tail. The tips become more hull-like, increasing buoyancy in deep snow and cutting through slush. It also helps the board roll quickly and smoothly from edge to edge.

D.S.T. SuperTubes
Dual Super Tubes, a Super Tube on each side of the board improves pop and gives the camber more snap.
