...THe Be ST value POW & PISTe QUIVe R BOARD e Ve R. The 2021 Bataleon Camel Toe has earned itself an enviable reputation as being one of the most fun to ride quiver boards on the market. Built around a wide-profile nose, cut out tail, fully directional shape, this remarkable snowboard was one of the first of the new generation boards to blend exceptional powder performance with almost alpine-like levels of carving ability. equally at home riding waist deep powder as it is blasting around the mountain; the Camel Toe is the perfect choice for anyone who is looking to add a powder focussed board to their quiver. However, don’t go thinking that this board is just a one-trick pony if you’re one of those riders that’s not interested in hitting the park then the Camel Toe makes the perfect everyday board for all-mountain freeriders. For this season Bataleon has packaged the Camel Toe with the Bataleon binding creating what is, without doubt, the best value board/binding combo on the market. Rider Style: Freeriders & Powder Hounds The Camel Toe is aimed at riders of all ability levels who want a high performing, fun-to-ride board that kills it both in the pow & on the piste. Shape Overview: Directional The Camel Toe’s fully directional shape is characterised by its distinctive wide profile nose & cut out CT tail. This innovative design gives the board increased lift & float at the front while allowing the rear to sink. This effortless float allows the designers to reduce the riding length by around 5 to 7cm, creating a responsive manoeuvrable board for when you get it into the trees & tighter terrain. The manoeuvrability is then further enhanced with the CT’s sidecut profile. This advanced multi-radius sidecut brings the board alive on-piste & is key to making the Camel Toe such a special board. Profile: Pow 3BT with Sidekick As the Camel Toe is all about delivering maximum float, it utilises Bataleon’s Pow 3BT profile with Side Kick technology. This unique shape combines a narrow centre base section with wider, longer & higher side base upturns at the nose, giving unrivalled float at the front end, while the added upturn of the Sidekicks gives lightning-fast turn engagement. At the tail, the shorter & less pronounced side base upturns are integrated into the blunt CT tail, giving the board stunning response when steering off the back of the board in the pow or when driving out of turns on groomers. This is all then matched with a mellow traditional camber profile to step up control & response & to give the board that extra stability & edge hold that you only get with camber. Side Kicks Side Kick increases the side base uplift just outside the widest part of the nose & tail, making turn initiation smoother, increasing float in powder & improving the handling of the board in rough terrain. Construction The Camel Toe’s classic construction is headed up by the durable & responsive Core core. Combining poplar with beech stringers running tip to tail through the centre of the board, it delivers the perfect balance of control & response without being overly aggressive. Now to give the Camel Toe its unique, playful overall feel, the structural layers are formed from torsionally softer bi-ax glass. It’s this softer flex that makes it so much fun to ride & the reason why everyone should have one in their quiver. That smooth & progressive nature is enhanced even further by the state of the art Shock-Walls sidewall technology. These Urethane infused sidewalls not only smooth out the ride they’re also more resistant to impacts. Base: Super Slick X Base (High Molecular extruded) To deliver excellent performance across all snow conditions, the Party Wave utilises the durable Super Slick X Base. This high quality extruded base has the highest molecular weight of any extruded base on the market. That means it’s more robust & faster while remaining virtually maintenance-free. Float Surface: 153 = 79 158 = 83 162 = 87 New for this season on all Bataleon Boards is the Float-Surface rating. This measurement is calculated via a complex equation that takes into account surface area, nose & tail profile & set back. This then gives you a rating on how the board lifts & floats in powder, giving you a real comparison between the new generation of short, wide board against a traditional snowboard. Float surface starts at 50 for the lowest-rated board & goes up to 96 for the highest-rated board
