This was my first 3bt board, for reference I am a experienced snowboarder (started when I was 6), I am 6’1 150 and I bought the 157 board, and this was the second board I have ever bought. I took this thing to sugarbush for the long weekend where we got 12+ inches of snow in 48 hours, so I was really looking forward to using this thing. The board can really do anything. I took it out for 7+ hour days hitting the groomers, tree runs, and park where it still gets great pop. I’m the type of guy who wants to do a little bit of everything (like fast carves but also fun jumps/ side hits) and this board preformed really well. It could still move through powder and have a fine heel to toe transition. solid 9/10, would be a 10/10 if it could be just a little faster but good enough for me.

If you haven’t tried a bataleon 3bt board yet, you haven’t lived. I sincerely believe that every rental shop should carry bataleon boards because of how forgiving and playful they feel.

As soon as I strapped in I felt sad knowing what I was missing out on this entire time. Spins, presses, switch riding, pop? Effortless. Handling through tree runs, patches of pow, side hits big and small? Light work. And then for those just cruising groomers and learning to get comfortable with riding… this is the ultimate choice board to grow into.

Those who are looking to hard carve and charge down the mountain at full speed, this will hold you back. It is not suited for very aggressive riding. This is a board for those who love to seek out every side hit, tree run, powder line, and park features!

I bought the Bataleon WhatEver2024 last year in a store in my city. Unfortunately, after just one season I had a crack in the surface of my snowboard near the binding. Although the warranty description states that no warranty applies in this case, Bataleon sent me a new board within a week. Not only that, they sent me the newer WhatEver2025. As I haven't been able to use it yet, I can only mention here how well the 2024 model rides and how good the support was, especially Matthias.

Showed up quicker than expected. Probably the best board on the market for beginner/intermediates looking to dabble into everything.

I am NOT normally one to write a review, BUT Ive been a Bataleon Board user for 8 seasons and have 6 Bataleons. Recently i’ve seen a dramatic decrease and it’s been noticeable.

After owning the whatever for one season, the board started delaminating. As I've been very impressed with Bataleons warranty, i reached out and they declined saying “ damages shown from your submitted images are due to some variant of impact or normal wear and tear” and “Damage like this is the result of excessive compression of the board against a hard surface while the rider's weight was either forward or backward of the inserts.“ I was blown away by this response as your board will see riders weight during turns and normal falls. Ive never had a board delaminate off of compression while normally riding.

I am not normally one to review and ride my boards 150+ a season so I understand wear and tear. They’ve lost a Bataleon customer for life :/ Not stoked.
