2027 Tornado Beyond Medals Snowboard

The Bataleon Tornado Beyond Medals Snowboard 2027 is a high-performance freeride-focused directional twin built for intermediate to advanced riders who demand power, precision, and versatility across the entire mountain. Developed in collaboration with Beyond Medals, it blends aggressive response with all-terrain capability, delivering confidence at speed, through technical lines, and in deep snow. Medium camber, SideKick technology, and Bataleon's renowned 3D shaping work together to create smooth turn initiation, improved float, and a more forgiving ride in variable conditions.

Loaded with premium materials including carbon reinforcement, Dual Radial SuperTubes, Aramid X-Ply, and an Ultra Light Core, the Tornado delivers explosive energy, strong edge hold, and impressive stability without unnecessary weight. Whether carving hardpack, boosting side hits, or chasing powder stashes, this board is built to charge.

SPECS:

• Flex: 8/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)
• Ability Level: Intermediate-Advanced
• Shape: Directional Twin
• Camber Type: Medium Camber with SideKick, Low Nose Sidebase Uplift and Low Tail Sidebase Uplift
• Inserts: 2x4 Inserts
• SideKick takes the Triple Base concept to the next level by amplifying sidebase uplift just beyond the widest points of the nose and tail. This innovative design gives the tips a hull-like shape, dramatically enhancing float in deep snow while effortlessly slicing through rough, uneven terrain. By elevating the edges, it also improves turn initiation, making edge-to-edge transitions smoother, faster, and more controlled for a responsive and confidence-inspiring ride in all conditions.
• Sidebase uplift in the nose of the snowboard varies from Low, Medium, and High and influences how the board performs edge to edge and how it floats in powder.
• Sidebase uplift in the tail of the snowboard varies from Low, Medium, and High and influences how the board behaves while riding. It accentuates the 3BT within the board, making them even more versatile.
• Laminate: Tri-Ax, Carbon Stringers, D.R.S.T. SuperTubes
• Tri-Axial fiberglass is engineered for maximum strength, minimal weight, and exceptional responsiveness. This high-performance weave enhances the flex profile, providing extra reinforcement for our more aggressive boards, ensuring precision and control at high speeds.
• Additional carbon layups are strategically placed to fine-tune the flex, response, and overall feel of each board, ensuring optimal performance tailored to its design.
• SuperTubes are lightweight, hollow carbon cylinders embedded directly into the core to enhance camber, reduce weight, and dramatically increase pop. Their strategic placement allows for precise tuning of a board’s performance. Dual Radial SuperTubes, D.R.S.T., have six total SuperTubes running along the boards sidecut radius. This is to increase power and response to the edges.
• Aramid X-Ply is a diamond weave laminate that is reinforced by Kevlar. This increased the boards torsional stiffness without being too heavy.
• Ultra Light Core: for excellent strength to weight ratio, this core has a 1:2 blend of Poplar and Paulownia.
• Base: Ultra Glide S - The Ultra Glide S premium 7000-grade sintered base is engineered for elite performance, exclusively used in high-end model snowboards. Its ultra-dense P-tex construction enhances durability while delivering exceptional speed, ensuring maximum glide and longevity in all conditions.
• +2 Backseat Inserts: Plus 2 Backseat Inserts are a set of extra inserts positioned 4cm behind the standard top inserts. This adjustment lets you move your bindings further back, which is ideal for maintaining float in deep powder days. Shifting your weight toward the rear helps lift the nose of the board, making it easier to stay on top of the snow while reducing pressure on your back leg.
