On a true twin board like the Bataleon Evil Twin, that turns what would have been a standard freestyle board into an all-mountain machine. The 3BT increases the float in powder, whilst turn initiation on groomers is as smooth as silk – especially with this year’s ‘Side Kick’ tweak to the widest sections of the board, which have been raised further still.

“For truly all-mountain performance that helps you step up your trick game, look no further”

It’s technically geared for park riding, but this has proven time and again to be a favourite of those looking for a one-board solution. In addition to its powder chops, it has a medium flex that’s stiff enough to charge but soft enough to butter. The camber profile, triax fibreglass and bamboo-enhanced core make it a fantastic board for whipping down pistes on the days when the park’s not firing and it hasn’t dumped in days.

If you’re not remotely interested in freestyle, then the Bataleon Evil Twin has a few stablemates that may be more appropriate for you – but for truly all-mountain performance that helps you step up your trick game, look no further. There’s also a version with an asymmetric twist on 3BT, which is worth checking out if you prefer asym boards.

The Evil Twin has been in our line since 2005, and has always been a fan favourite.

It’s not really a secret, but this board performs in all conditions and excels both in and outside the park.
