Description The Bataleon Tornado Beyond Medals has takes its inspiration from the fan favourite Goliath to create this unique, directional twin board, with an elongated nose and squared off tail. Designed to be able to be ridden in any condition possible, the Beyond Medals has the perfect stiffness and response to have next level versatility so it can throw down in the park, rip groomers on the resort and slay any depth of pow. Developed with Tor Lundstrom and the BYND x MDLS crew with the desire to design a board to match his riding style perfectly, the Beyond Medals is a true weapon of a snowboard to be used in any condition imaginable. Board Type: All Mountain All Mountain snowboards are versatile boards that excel across various terrains, from groomed runs to off-piste. These boards offer solid edge control and responsiveness, making them a great option for riders who want one board to do just about everything. Flex: 8/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff) Stiff snowboards are precise, responsive, and built for advanced riders tackling high speeds, steep terrain, or icy conditions. They deliver powerful turns, excellent edge hold, and enhanced stability, especially during aggressive riding. Ability Level: Intermediate-Advanced Intermediate snowboards offer more responsiveness and stability at higher speeds, with a slightly stiffer flex for better control on varied terrain and more advanced manoeuvres. Advanced snowboards are stiffer and more responsive, designed for high-speed control, precision riding, and handling challenging terrain or tricks. Shape: Directional Twin A directional twin snowboard has a symmetrical shape but with a slightly shifted stance, making it ideal for riders who want the versatility of a twin for freestyle, with the added stability of a directional design. It performs well both regular and switch but excels in one direction, offering improved control on varied terrain. Camber Type: Medium Camber with SideKick, Low Nose Sidebase Uplift and Low Tail Sidebase Uplift Bataleon's camber profiles vary from low to high, each influencing the board’s overall feel and performance. High camber creates a more energetic and responsive ride, demanding an aggressive approach to fully harness its power and excel in precision, pop, and edge hold but require skill to control. Low camber provides a smoother, more forgiving experience, making turns effortless and enhancing float in powder, especially at lower speeds. While Medium camber is the perfect combination of both. No matter the level, all camber profiles extend from nose to tail. However, higher doesn’t always mean better—choosing the right camber depends on your riding style, skill level, and preferred terrain. A new design for 2027 removing the 3BT technology for a longer effective side edge and more agressive and traditional feel to a standard positive camber board while leaving in the sidekick for smooth transitions. Width: Standard, Wide Standard width boards deliver exceptional edge-to-edge quickness and responsiveness while providing enough platform space for riders with average boot sizes. Wide boards are for those with large boot sizes and provide extra flotation, reduced drag, and never feel clunky or cumbersome underfoot. Inserts: 2x4 Inserts These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments. They're common on modern boards and ideal for riders who want fine-tuned positioning and can be used with any binding with a standard or mini disk. Board Construction Laminate: Tri-Ax, Carbon Stringers, D.R.S.T. SuperTubes Tri-Axial fiberglass is engineered for maximum strength, minimal weight, and exceptional responsiveness. This high-performance weave enhances the flex profile, providing extra reinforcement for our more aggressive boards, ensuring precision and control at high speeds. Additional carbon layups are strategically placed to fine-tune the flex, response, and overall feel of each board, ensuring optimal performance tailored to its design. SuperTubes are lightweight, hollow carbon cylinders embedded directly into the core to enhance camber, reduce weight, and dramatically increase pop. Their strategic placement allows for precise tuning of a board’s performance. Dual Radial SuperTubes, D.R.S.T., have six total SuperTubes running along the boards sidecut radius. This is to increase power and response to the edges. Aramid X-Ply is a diamond weave laminate that is reinforced by Kevlar. This increased the boards torsional stiffness without being too heavy. Core: Ultra Light Core For excellent strength to weight ratio, this core has a 1:2 blend of Poplar and Paulownia. Base: Ultra Glide S The Ultra Glide S premium 7000-grade sintered base is engineered for elite performance, exclusively used in high-end model snowboards. Its ultra-dense P-tex construction enhances durability while delivering exceptional speed, ensuring maximum glide and longevity in all conditions. Additional Features: +2 Backseat Inserts Plus 2 Backseat Inserts are a set of extra inserts positioned 4cm behind the standard top inserts. This adjustment lets you move your bindings further back, which is ideal for maintaining float in deep powder days. Shifting your weight toward the rear helps lift the nose of the board, making it easier to stay on top of the snow while reducing pressure on your back leg. Step Down Rails
