Picked this up as a replacement to my 157 whatever,
was a little worried about going to a 151, but so far it has been great!
Its fun on groomers, floaty in that pow stuff & nimble in the woods on the way to grandma's place for some adult hot coco!
Pretty good flex for butters especially on the nose, I'm still getting used to the shorter length in the tail.
I will for sure be coming back for more in the future!!
Really snug fit, I bought an L for my 159 Goliath
Fits nice and the board is protected all around
Amazing fit.. super responsive whether in the deep pow og blazing down the slopes.
I have been on Union bindings for years. since I got a Bataleon board I thought I would get he bindings too. Wow! they are so solid in a lot of ways. 1st the padding. most have the foot bed padding now, but the material they use is way nicer than others. and the padding under the binding where it meets the board is like running shoe Boost material. so much dampening! bombing crapt-out groomers feels that much better! I didn't expect that. and landing out in the flats!
the straps and buckles are super nice. I mean everything feels like an upgrade.
I am sorry Union......iI'm done
Bataleon out did you.
These bindings r nice and snug, don’t loosen up and r extremely responsive!
Its a bread and butter having 10 Bataleons in the fleet. Works well, loved the ease of purchase and fast delivery.
Horrible experience.
2 weeks waiting to get a board.
They say on their website they ship trough ups or fedex within canada. Even when I ask them before .
They ship it trough Canpar what is a total Sh**
Costumer service is horrible they dont reply emails or give any solution.
Amazing board. I ride very aggressively and this board keeps up no problem. Does amazing on ice, thin coverage, and powder. The raised edges on the nose and tail definitely help with carving and not catching edges.
Purchased a new board after using the last one for nearly a decade. Very satisfied with the Goliath. Bataleon’s customer service was extremely helpful in providing suggestions when I was stuck between the Evil Twin and Goliath
I’ve been riding for over 25 years. The last 15+ on the same snowboard (Sims FS600). It was a great board and I loved it. This year I decided to go new and wanted something with flex and tech to make buttering smoother. I chose the Bataleon Disaster and OMG I can’t / won’t go back. This thing does everything I wanted and more. Makes for a super smooth style on the hill and even holds fine in tight hard carving.
Very happy with this purchase
I am simply amazed by this board. I bought it pre-season and then the season didn't come for a long time this year and only now I got to try it.
IT IS FUC*ING AMAZING! The best board ever.
I have currently tried it only once in the resort but man I am just in love. Just so responsive and so adaptive to the surface. Snowboarding is a whole new deal right now for me.
I even decided to switch my stance to the other side and right away I could go down the hill with nice surfy feel the first try. (I switched stance to other side because I surf with the other foot front and want to improve that)
100% recommend, although I don't really want to, because I WANNA BUY ONE MORE OF THESE JUST TO HAVE TWO but only two are left and I'm out of cash now :D
Best board out there and finally a good looking snowboard (the designs suck for other boards)
oh yeah and it's completely rideable the other way around too if you are worried about landing 180 tricks. Pop is great and I don't see a reason why not take this board to the park.
Where to start? The beyond medals board is the bees knees. This stick always has me smiling and that’s what snowboarding is about. I’ve stomped some new tricks and shat bricks from the airtime on this. The edge hold on this is an absolute creamer. Not a single complaint other than seeing low stock, please keep making this beauty.
Great bindings. Only complaint is with the M/L bindings I wear size boots 8.5 and even with the heel cup set all the way to the smallest setting I still get heel overhang with no toe overhang and there's no way for me to center my boots.
Just buy the thang! Put it on a credit card worry, about the money later just be ready to shred!!
Gotta be honest, I was skeptical of the 3D base and worried that the rail to rail engagement would be too floaty with the boat hull shape. My wife got a the Storm a couple years ago and ever since has been telling me how much I would enjoy it. Finally decided to give it a go (especially with an insane sale price) and am now feeling like I wasted multiple seasons as a loyal warpig fan. This board is nuts! Noticeable quality right out of the box and a pleasant but simplistic graphic which I really appreciate. But some mileage on it in central Oregon and so far it has been nothing but epic. Playful and rowdy and GODDAMN she wants to go fast. Rails are super grippy and carry speed through big carves. Flexible enough for all the butters and stiff enough to give you all the pop you could want. If you don’t pick a rail…this board will pick for you. I wouldn’t suggest it for any riders lacking confidence and still in the more timid phase of riding, but if you are really comfortable riding give this thing a chance to change the way you approach the hill. Thanks for a great board, I will be back for more!!
These are a beautiful pair of bindings! I was stoked to see a small package inside the box containing extra straps and hardware with a note of "Never miss a day"! That's a reason to choose Bataleon right there, living somewhat remotely (Newfoundland, CAD) this sort of thing means a lot more!
