Over the past few years, It's safe to say that Tor Lundstrom and the Beyond Medals crew have redefined how we look at snowboarding. Blurring the lines between freeriding and technical freestyle, they've shaken up the status quo and have elevated all-terrain snowboarding to a whole new level. Now, to ride at that level and push it to such heights, you need to have a board capable of delivering no matter what gets thrown at it. To achieve that, Tor and the crew have worked closely with Bataleon's design team and have developed an all-new Beyond Medal's collab board. Sharing the same state of the art shape of the latest Whatever they've re-engineered the construction to deliver a performance snowboard that can handle any terrain or conditions. Built around a unique progressive mid wide directional shape that features a floaty extended nose, the Whatever Beyond Medals delivers outstanding performance in the pow, however, the fact that everything that's in contact with the snow is twin, it delivers that powder performance without compromising any of its freestyle balance and control, underpinning the ride anything nature of this board. So if you're in the market for a freestyle board that kills it in the pow, in the park and on the piste, all tuned up by one of the most progressive riding crews in the world, then the Bataleon Whatever Beyond X Medals, could just be what you're looking for.

Rider Style

Intermediate to advanced riders looking for an easier-going yet high performing board that will let them ride absolutely everything on the mountain.

Shape Overview

The Whatever Beyond X Medal's directional twin chassis takes inspiration from freeride and freestyle snowboards to create a truly versatile board. The diamond tip nose increases volume at the front of the board without adding additional weight. This innovative shape gives the board increased float at the front, making powder riding effortless without compromising the Whatever's freestyle performance. At the rear, the new cut back tail lets the back sink easier, enhancing that pow performance but again without sacrificing the freestyle feel of the board. The new mid-width chassis adds surface area to the board creating a more floaty yet stable ride. It also allows you to ride at shallower angles without worrying about toe or heel drag.

Profile

Key to the Whatever Beyond X Medal's versatile ride is the unique Twin 3BT with SideKicks base profile. This advanced 3D base combined with an overall traditional camber delivers truly 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 slightly wider flat centre base aids stability in take-offs and landings, while the two slightly narrower side-base sections with their mellow angled uplift deliver that unique combination of the 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 handling of the board in rough terrain.

Internals

To ensure the Whatever Beyond X Medals delivers stunning performance, Bataleon doesn't hold back when it comes to construction. Heading this up is the featherweight Light Core. Combining an even mix of poplar and paulownia, it delivers the perfect balance of lightweight, durability and playful performance. To this, Bataleon then adds their state of the art D.S.T (Dual Super Tube) Technology. This innovative construction places two hollow carbon rods into milled out channels on the base of the core, stepping up pop and powering up the camber for more snap and drive. Bataleon then integrates 5 carbon stringers running tip to tail to step up that pop and power further. These power up the more playful bi-ax glass structural layers through the entire length of the board to deliver a more powerful flex through the length without compromising the board's playful freestyle focussed torsional flex.

Base

The high-quality Hyper Glide S sintered base is both fast and durable. Keep this waxd and it's going to give you a super-fast ride.
