The Goliath is the board that started the 3D revolution. Its versatility shines and it thrives in all conditions as it seamlessly blends freestyle agility with freeride power. Ideal for seasoned riders seeking an all-in-one solution, the Goliath provides exceptional on-edge performance, making it a top choice for those who crave versatility and precision on the mountain.
- Nose Sidebase Uplift: Low. The gradual side base uplift in the nose determines how the board will behave on snow. Most effected are the edge to edge performance and the uplift generated when riding powder.
- Tail Sidebase Uplift: Low. The gradual side base uplift in the tail determines how the board will behave on snow. Any amount of uplift brings all the benefits of Triple Base Technology making our boards more versatile than others.
- Camber Profile: 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...
- 3D Shape: 3BT™ & Sidekick™. Combining the responsiveness of traditional tip-to-tail camber with the dynamic shaping properties of Triple Base Technology and the performance boosting Sidekick feature makes for a 3D snowboarding experience like no other.
- Technology: At the heart of every Bataleon is a combination of 3BT™ and positive camber. It’s an innovative solution to the profile puzzle that minimizes the potential for edge-catch without sacrificing ollie power or carving performance. From this starting point, we fine-tune each element according to the boards desired riding style.
- 3D shaping: SideKick™ builds on the concept of Triple Base by increasing the sidebase uplift just outside the widest points of the nose and tail. The tips become more like a hull, boosting float in deep snow and slicing through crud. It also helps the board to roll quickly and evenly from edge to edge.
- Construction: Supertubes™ are hollow carbon cylinders that are inserted directly into the core. They reinforce the camber, reduce weight and greatly increase pop. By varying their location we can fine-tune the board’s performance further.
- Glassing: Tri-Ax Lamination. Our three-way fiberglass weave is light, strong and crazy responsive. We use this to beef up the flex pattern on our more aggressive boards.
- Woodcore: Ultra Light Core. A 70/30 Paulownia and poplar blend that offers awesome strength to weight.
- Base: Ultra Glide S. A premium, 7000-grade sintered base reserved for our high-end models. Packing more molecules into the P-tex means it’s super tough and hauls ass.
- Sidewalls: Flex Walls. Our Urethane Poured Sidewalls offer exceptional shock absorption, reducing chatter and vibration for a smoother, more stable ride. Flexwalls provide flexibility and resilience, allowing the board to maintain its integrity even in extreme conditions. With superior impact resistance, they ensure your snowboard performs at its peak, season after season.
- Inserts: 28 Inserts. A-grade German stainless steel inserts make sure you are locked to your board. These high quality inserts can take years of binding stance switches.
- Inserts: +2 Backseat Inserts. Backseat inserts are an set of extra inserts 4cm behind the bottom inserts. This allows you to set your bindings all the way back, so you can keep floating on those deep pow days. By shifting your weight more back on the board the nose stays up and the pressure on you back leg is reduced.
- Layup & Laminate: Carbon Stringers. Our tried and tested carbon layups. We deploy them in different areas to fine-tune the feel of each model.
- Tech: D.R.S.T. SuperTubes. Dual Radial Super Tubes, similar to DST but with four extra Super Tubes (six in total) running parallel to the board radius, delivering extra power to the edges.
