Bataleon Turbo Snowboard – In-Depth Buyer’s Guide
The Bataleon Turbo is Bataleon’s most performance-driven all-mountain freestyle board, engineered for bold riders seeking high-speed stability, commanding carve control, and explosive big-air capability. With a stiff flex (approx. 9/10), camber-dominant profile, and premium carbon/3BT tech, this board is built for riders who push limits across varied terrain.
What It Feels Like to Ride
The Turbo feels laser-focused and responsive. Its stiff construction—powered by camber underfoot, Dual Super Tubes, carbon stringers, and a lightweight ultra-light wood core—gives it authority at high speeds and during aggressive takeoffs. The 3D camber/SideKick shaping smooths landings and turn entries for a refined ride. While it demands skill to pilot, the payoff is precision and power in any scenario
