evo.com | Bataleon Snowboards > Enter a new dimension with the all new Bataleon Placebo Snowboard. Fresh from Bataleon's laboratory of snowboard experimentation, the Placebo challenges expectations at every turn. Built on a unique 2D flat platform-the only one in the Bataleon lineup-it delivers a ride unlike anything else in the fleet. The result is a distinctly intuitive feel that blends stability, precision, and a whole new take on all-mountain performance. But don't mistake "experimental" for unfinished. Carbon stringers add energy and snap when it's time to accelerate, Impact Plates smooth out rough landings and variable snow, and the Ultra Glide base keeps the board moving at maximum velocity. Every element has been carefully tuned to create a ride that feels familiar enough to trust and different enough to keep you coming back for another lap. Maybe the Placebo effect isn't supposed to be real. Then again, this ride is pretty unreal. *Please Note: This is a factory blem product. It may have slight cosmetic issues that do not impact performance.* Flex Rating 8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) 2 x 4 Insert Pattern 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... Tri-Ax Laminate Bataleon's three-way fiberglass weave is light, strong and crazy responsive. It is used to beef up the flex pattern on more aggressive boards. Light Core A 2:2 blend of Poplar and Paulownia creates a well-balanced core that is both lively and strong. | Bataleon Placebo Snowboard Blem 2027 - 159
