Bataleon Snowboard - Tornado X Beyond Medals 162

Snowboard – Bataleon Tornado x Beyond Medals 162

Tornado X Beyond Medals is a collab with Tor Lundström who designed this beast and beauty of a board. The Beyond Medals is a playfull yet powerful All Mountain snowboard. It’s doesen’t matter if you charge slopes, parks or pow, the Beyond Medals board bombs it all. Step Down Rails and Sidekick make the transition from edge to edge smooth without catching an edge. The Medium Camber profile and Super Tubes gives the board pop and power on the edge, while the reinforced core (Ultra Light Core + Carbon Stringers) makes it feel stable even at high speeds whilst charging it with a very snappy pop.

The snowboard is waxed and tuned at the factory, ready for the slopes.

Flex: 8/10
The scale is based on the principle that 1 is "Soft and Playful" while 10 is "Stiff and Responsive".

Shape:
Directional Twin: The nose is extended 1 cm to give the board better All Mountain properties. The bindings are centered on the board, twin shape and flex.
 
Profile:
Medium Camber
A traditional camber that gives pop, stability and power to the edge.
 
Construction:
TRI AX LAMINATE: Fiberglass reinforcement above and below the core. Gives the board a stiffer flex with ultimate strength and response.
Ultra Light Core: Bataleon's second lightest core made of 70% Swiss paulownia and 30% poplar to get a light and strong core.
Super Tubes D.R.S.T: Reinforcement along the edge of the board for extra power and response when turning.
Backseat Inserts: Extra inserts to be able to rear mount the binding for more control on with your backfoot and more float in powder.
Directional Twin 3BT: A versatile 3BT-profile to provide power and response.
Carbon Stringers: Reinforcement of carbon strips to provide better pop and strength.
ULTRA GLIDE S: Sintered base, second fastest! This base thrive when waxed.
FlexWalls: Poured-in Urethane Sidewalls allows for better bonding of the sidewalls to the core, creating a more durable snowboard. On top of this, the unique dampening capabilities of Urethane create a much smoother ride than traditional sidewalls.
Sidekick: Extra raised edges for an even more forgiving experience. Especially noticeable in uneven terrain and in landings on the nose and tail.
Step Down Rails: Sidewalls woth a lower profile for more precision when turning.
