Construction and Materials

It might be simpler to list what materials haven’t gone into this board, but we’ll do our best. It all starts with Bataleon’s lightest core, and 80/20 blend of Swiss paulownia and poplar. This is combined with a mysterious additive they call AirRide to dampen chatter, and features a carbon tube milled directly into the centre to reinforce the camber and give even more wutang to your ollies.

The Boss is glassed with a triax weave that stiffens it up considerably. Inexperienced riders with deep pockets might find themselves out of their depth if they buy this just cos they want ‘the best’; it’s a powerful flex pattern made even more potent with the inclusion of more carbon fibre in the lay-up. If you like going fast and you know your way around big transitions, though, you’re gonna love it.

A dense, 7000-grade sintered base provides the finishing touch. If you don’t make the landing, it won’t be the fault of this board.

Roundup

The Boss brims with premium materials and 3D technology. Bataleon have spared no expense to create a flagship freestyle snowboard that can dominate the pro line and charge hard on the rest of the mountain. Just understand that, if you’re to get the most out of its powerful flex and lightning quick base, then you need to be a boss, too.
