Sharing much of its DNA with the iconic Evil Twin, the Distortia is the ride anything freestyle board in the Bataleon Women's collection. Built around a blunt diamond-tipped true-twin shape, the Distortia delivers a balanced overall ride to give you maximum control in the park. However, thanks to the clever geometry in those diamond tips, which trick the tips into behaving like they're longer and fuller than they actually are, the Distortia delivers a level of all-terrain performance that you wouldn't expect from such a freestyle focussed board. The Distortia's ride-anything versatility is then further enhanced with the addition of Bataleon's advanced Twin 3BT with Sidekick's base profile. This innovative 3D base shape enhances performance on edge, increases float in the pow and gives a more stable and responsive ride in the turn. So, no matter if you're lapping the park or out cruising the mountain, the Distortia is going to deliver whatever you ask of it.
Rider Style : All Terrain Freestyle
Intermediate to expert riders looking for the control and balance you only get with a true twin tip but who also want the ride everything versatility of an all-terrain board.
Shape Overview: True Twin
The Distortia utilises a state of the art blunt tip and tail twin chassis. This unique, balanced shape delivers all the feel and control that you could ever need, ensuring that no matter how technical your park riding gets, you'll always feel in charge. However, thanks to the innovative nose and tail profile and 3BT base shape, the Distortia delivers quite a remarkable performance away from the park.
Profile: Twin Triple Base
Key to the Distortia's perfect balance of park performance and all-terrain versatility is the unique Twin 3BT with SideKicks base. This advanced 3D base profile combined with an overall traditional camber delivers stunning performance in all types of terrain. The Twin 3BT profile divides the base at the front and back of the board into three sections. The wide flat centre base aids stability in takeoff's and landings, while the two slightly narrower side-base sections with their mellow angled uplift deliver that unique combination of a hook-free ride with increased edge hold and control.
Side Kicks
SideKick dramatically increases the side base uplift just outside the widest part of the nose and tail. This makes turn initiation smoother, increases float in powder and improves the board's handling in rough terrain.
Construction
Internally the Distortia utilises a state of the art construction to deliver its unique ride, and heading this up is the Light Core. Combining an even mix of poplar and paulownia, it delivers the perfect balance of light weight, durability and playful performance. To add additional pop to this core, Bataleon then adds their CST reinforcing. This innovative construction places a hollow carbon rod into milled out channels on the base of the core. This steps up pop through the middle of the board without compromising torsional flex. To step up that pop and power even further, Bataleon integrates carbon X braces under both the front and rear inserts. These add power under the feet whilst allowing the board to still flex more naturally through the middle for improved park and rail performance.
Base: Hyper Glide S Base
The high-quality Hyper Glide S sintered base is both fast and durable. Keep this waxed, and it will give you a super-fast ride.
