Description

New in the Directional line is the Cruiser, a super fun Cruiser for ripping apart your resort. The Cruiser can be ridden in traditional lengths or slightly longer because of its long nose compared to the effective edge. This board hauls ass and allows you to draw the smoothest lines on the hill. Super stable at high speeds yet forgiving enough to be fun.

Directional
On our more freeride orientated boards the center base is at its most narrow and the uplift is at its highest this creates unparalleled float in pow super fast edge-to-edge transitioning.

SideKick
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. SideKicks are now part of the 3D profile on most of our models. By dramatically increasing the sidebase uplift at the widest points of the nose and tail, turn initiation becomes even smoother, powder float is enhanced and handling is improved in rough terrain. It has to be ridden to be believed!

Bomb Hills Faster
Edges create friction, retain heat and dont hold wax all of which slow you down. 3BT boards accelerate faster and maintain speed when pointed straight because less of the edges are in contact with the snow, reducing drag. This helps you coast along cat tracks faster, clear jumps and pass skiers on powder days.

Catch Less Edge
The raised edges at the contact points mean theres less chance of hooking up. Pressure is also dispersed more evenly along the edge, allowing for smoother, more controlled turns. When it comes to freestyle, 3BT is more forgiv- ing for butters and more lenient on less-than-perfect landings.

Bi-Ax Lamination
A traditional two-way weave that is light, strong and playful; it keeps the board snappy without addingtorsional stiffness, which is great for getting creative.

Light Core
50/50 Swiss Paulownia and poplar creates a balanced core thats lively yet strong.

Hyper Glide S Base
Our standard sintered base thats durable and fast – and even faster when you keep it waxed.

Description

The Cruiser has proved to be an instant Bataleon classic. With its long 3D nose the Cruiser lets you glide down the mountain with style and precision no matter the terrain. It especially excels on slopes and slushy conditions. The Cruiser+ has a stiffer flex paired with SuperTubes providing more stability at high speeds and quicker turn initiation when loading up the camber. It also features an upgraded faster base. This is the board of choice for all mountain resort riders that like to go fast on slopes, smash through slush and tear up sidecountry.

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…

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.

High Nose Sidebase Uplift
The gradual side base uplift in the nose determines how the board will behave on snow. most effected are the edge to edge performance and the uplift generated when riding powder.

Low Tail Sidebase Uplift
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 opur boards more versatile then others.
