Bataleon Omni Snowboard Review

$449
Intermediate to Expert Freeride
Triple Base Tech Camber Tapered Directional Shape
The Bataleon Omni is an interesting freeride snowboard. It has a very similar shape and riding style as the Bataleon Undisputed but just not all the high end tech. The TBT isn't really that necessary for a freeride board but it does make the edges at the tip and tail a little more catch free. The 2010 and 2011 Omni's have a tapered tail helps the board float well in powder but it just takes more work on the rear leg than some hybrid and rocker shapes. For 2012 the Omni changed up the sizing and effective edge. There is also a little more nose going on this year which was a necessary addition to keep up with the hybrid camber freeride boards out there. Still this is mostly a camber board with just a little more nose but it's a good change. You still have the pop that a lot of people enjoy in powder and a little more float than the older models.

Comes with an extra 'backseat' dropped back insert position for the deep, deep days. Shaped with FREERIDE TBT it delivers unmatched drive with directional carving and floating abilities that you just don't get on those 'other' boards.

Bataleon Omni 2011 Company Info

This board loves whatever you throw at it. With a set back stance, freeride shape, and perfect flex this board is for those who love cruising around the hill. Pow slash, check. Park jump, check. Tree runs, check. That cliff on the backside... you get the idea. Cambered pop and TBT float, forgiveness, lightning edge to edge and ultra responsiveness, TBT once again making it happen. Ride everything with confidence all the time everytime.

Bataleon Omni 2010 Company Info

This is the ultimate one board quiver. One board that does it all. This board not only does it all, but it does it all good. No averageness here. Our patented TBT makes things possible that to people of the flat board posse it seems contradictory. Thanks to TBT you can have a freestyle board that actually turns plus a freeride board that floats and has park pop. With the OMNI you can truly have it all. Take this board to the slopes, take it to the park, take it to the backcountry, take it to the next level. Wherever you want to take your snowboarding, the Omni will get you there with style and ease.
