Bataleon Evil Twin Snowboard Review

Intermediate to Expert Freestyle to All Mountain Freestyle
Triple Base Camber Twin Shape
The Bataleon Evil Twin has been around for a while. Some people swear by it and some people aren't into it. Even though the Evil Twin is Cambered it is more catch free than some reverse camber boards because all Bataleon has what they call Triple Base Tech. Triple Base has almost a normal flat base in the center and then the sides angle up a bit. It's very catch free at the tip and tail where boards are most likely to catch an edge. So you get the pop of camber and the catch free feel of rocker. The only thing you are missing is the rocker like float in powder. Some complain that it makes the edge to edge transitioning a little bit more work. If you like the pop from traditional camber and want to be more catch free in the park the Evil Twin is one of the only choices. Some companies are now trying to adopt tech similar to this but Bataleon is still the best choice. Some other companies spoon out the nose but nothing is as complete as triple camber. Not much has changed for 2011 except some minor refinements. For 2012 the Evil Twin is still the same board as 2011 but with a few more sizes. It's just a bit lighter and a little more snappy. All in all the Evil Twin is one of Bataleons better do anything freestyle boards that can hang on the mountain as well.

ABOUT THE EVIL TWIN

Every brand has its flagship and this is our Madonna, Jim Morrison and Elvis Presley. But instead of going down with drugs and alcohol we gave this board lipo, botox and a facelift. The new and enhanced TBT tip and tail lets you fly through any kind of snow with ease. Slush, crud or powder this nose takes it all and smooths out your ride in ways you haven't experienced before. It's like giving the holy Madonna a boobjob! Feels at home in the park but we have seen this board handle everything.

NGREDIENTS

Bataleon Evil Twin 2010

Everyone's favorite twin. This board is so good people always come back for seconds. It does everything a true twin needs to do and more. We can't keep coming up with new descriptions for a board that proves itself year after year to be one of the best idea's we've ever had. So we just recommend you ride this piece of shredtastic snowboard and see for yourselves why this board has its own fanmail drawer in our mail room... (we don't really have a mail room but there is this folder that says "ET yeah for it" in our inbox and it's filled with raving fanmails).
