Born from 3D Thinking

Bataleon has been flipping the script for over twenty years. Since 2001, they’ve built boards with one goal in mind: more fun for every run.

Born from science, refined by riders..

From Lab to Flow

It all started in Norway, with biologist Jørgen Karlsen.

He studied how snowboards really react to pressure and movement — and found that traditional camber boards were killing the flow.

His solution? Triple Base Technology™ (3BT™). A game-changing 3D shape that blends classic camber with uplifted edges.

The result: more control, more forgiveness, and that unmistakable Bataleon feel.

“We don’t make boards without 3BT™, because that’s the key to more fun.”

— Dennis Dusseldorp, Co-founder

Bataleon is based in Amsterdam, where art, tech, and snowboarding collide.

Creative, independent, and 100% rider-driven — that’s the vibe.

The Science Behind the Smile

Every Bataleon is built smart — around four key parameters that shape how your board feels on snow.

• Sidebase Uplift, defines how playful and forgiving your board feels when you roll in and out of your edges.

• Centerbase Width, affects stability and response. A wider base gives a solid, powerful platform. A narrower one rides looser and quicker.

• Uplift Start Point. the moment the uplift begins — that’s where the board’s character kicks in and your turns come alive.

• Nose–Tail Balance. controls float, pop, and the overall harmony of your ride.

• SideKick™. extra lift in nose and tail for better float and faster edge transitions.

A 3D Ride for Every Style

Bataleon’s line-up is wide, but always dialed.

• Freeride 3BT™, narrower base and deeper uplift for effortless float.

• Freestyle 3BT™, wider base and flatter profile for more pop and stability.

• All-Mountain 3BT™, the best of both worlds. All-day fun, every day.

Built With Riders, For Riders

Bataleon has always been rider-first. Boards are tested, tuned, and refined on real mountains by real people. No empty slogans. No copies. Just boards with soul.

The community is global, but it rides like family. Whether you’re in Laax, Niseko, or Avoriaz, you’ll spot a Bataleon rider by its flow.

The Future of 3D

After more than twenty years, Bataleon keeps pushing the limits. New materials. Lighter cores. Sharper shapes. Their mission? That the next generation rides Bataleon with the same mix of control, fun, and freedom.
