Snowboard BATALEON 2026 Evil Twin 20 Year Anniversary Edition

The 2026 BATALEON Evil Twin is a top choice at Melbourne Snowboard Centre year after year. The true twin shape, balanced mid flex, and medium camber make it a reliable performer across the entire mountain. Whether you're hitting the park or venturing off-piste, the poppy feel, catch-free 3BT shape, and carbon stringers offer exceptional response making it thrive on groomers, in powder, through the park, and anywhere else you take it—whether you're riding regular or switch. When you're looking to tackle everything, the Evil Twin is your go-to board.

Board Type: Freestyle-All Mountain

Freestyle snowboards are built for park riders and those who love performing tricks on jumps, rails, and side hits.

All Mountain snowboards are versatile boards that excel across various terrains, from groomed runs to off-piste. These boards offer solid edge control and responsiveness, making them a great option for riders who want one board to do just about everything.

Flex: 5/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)

Offering a balanced blend of flexibility and stiffness, mid-flex boards are versatile and suitable for all-mountain riding. They provide enough responsiveness for carving while maintaining some forgiveness for playful or casual riding.

Ability Level: Intermediate

Intermediate snowboards offer more responsiveness and stability at higher speeds, with a slightly stiffer flex for better control on varied terrain and more advanced manoeuvres.

Shape: Twin

A twin-shaped snowboard is symmetrical with an identical tip and tail, designed for equal performance riding forward or switch. It’s perfect for freestyle tricks, spins, and jumps, offering balance, stability, and control in both directions.

Camber Type: Medium Camber with 3BT and Sidekick, Medium Nose Sidebase Uplift and Medium Tail Sidebase Uplift

Bataleon's camber profiles vary from low to high, each influencing the board’s overall feel and performance. High camber creates a more energetic and responsive ride, demanding an aggressive approach to fully harness its power and excel in precision, pop, and edge hold but require skill to control. Low camber provides a smoother, more forgiving experience, making turns effortless and enhancing float in powder, especially at lower speeds. While Medium camber is the perfect combination of both. No matter the level, all camber profiles extend from nose to tail. However, higher doesn’t always mean better—choosing the right camber depends on your riding style, skill level, and preferred terrain.

Every Bataleon snowboard is built on the seamless integration of Triple Base Technology (3BT) and positive camber—an advanced design that significantly reduces the risk of edge-catch while maintaining explosive ollie power and precise carving control. This foundation serves as the starting point, allowing them to adjust each element to perfectly complement the board’s intended riding style, ensuring optimal performance across all terrains and conditions.

SideKick takes the Triple Base concept to the next level by amplifying sidebase uplift just beyond the widest points of the nose and tail. This innovative design gives the tips a hull-like shape, dramatically enhancing float in deep snow while effortlessly slicing through rough, uneven terrain. By elevating the edges, it also improves turn initiation, making edge-to-edge transitions smoother, faster, and more controlled for a responsive and confidence-inspiring ride in all conditions.

Sidebase uplift in the nose of the snowboard varies from Low, Medium, and High and influences how the board performs edge to edge and how it floats in powder.

Sidebase uplift in the tail of the snowboard varies from Low, Medium, and High and influences how the board behaves while riding. It accentuates the 3BT within the board, making them even more versatile.

Width: Standard, Wide

Standard width boards deliver exceptional edge-to-edge quickness and responsiveness while providing enough platform space for riders with average boot sizes.

Wide boards are for those with large boot sizes and provide extra flotation, reduced drag, and never feel clunky or cumbersome underfoot.

Inserts: 2x4 Inserts

These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments. They're common on modern boards and ideal for riders who want fine-tuned positioning and can be used with any binding with a standard or mini disk.

Board Construction

Laminate: Tri-Ax, Carbon Stringers, C.S.T. SuperTubes

Tri-Axial fiberglass is engineered for maximum strength, minimal weight, and exceptional responsiveness. This high-performance weave enhances the flex profile, providing extra reinforcement for our more aggressive boards, ensuring precision and control at high speeds.

Additional carbon layups are strategically placed to fine-tune the flex, response, and overall feel of each board, ensuring optimal performance tailored to its design.

SuperTubes are lightweight, hollow carbon cylinders embedded directly into the core to enhance camber, reduce weight, and dramatically increase pop. Their strategic placement allows for precise tuning of a board’s performance. A C.S.T., Central SuperTube, running down the middle, boosts pop while maintaining torsional flex for a lively yet responsive ride.

Core: Ultra Light Core

For excellent strength to weight ratio, this core has a 1:2 blend of Poplar and Paulownia.

Sidewall: Flex Walls

By using Urethane sidewalls instead of standard ABS, you get a sidewall that bonds the sidewall to the core more effectively creating a more durable and damp construction.

Base: Ultra Glide S

The Ultra Glide S premium 7000-grade sintered base is engineered for elite performance, exclusively used in high-end model snowboards. Its ultra-dense P-tex construction enhances durability while delivering exceptional speed, ensuring maximum glide and longevity in all conditions.
