evo.com | Bataleon Snowboards > The Bataleon Placebo Snowboard is doing something Bataleon has never done before, building a board with a flat, traditional base instead of their signature 3D shaping. Where Bataleon's other boards are built to forgive you, this one is built to reward you, with a stiff flex and centered carbon SuperTube that turns every edge press into direct, no nonsense feedback. It's for the rider who's put in the hours and wants the mountain to feel exactly as fast and sharp as they are. Nothing lifted, nothing softened. 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. Directional Twin 2 x 4 Insert Pattern Flex Rating 8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) 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... | Bataleon Placebo Snowboard 2027 - 159
