...Bataleon's Minishred has become the starter board of choice for a high percentage of kids whose parents work in the snowboard industry. Its combination of high-quality traditional snowboard construction & Bataleon's innovative 3BT base profile, make it one of the best performing & easy to ride kids boards on the market. With its hook free effortless ride, predictable performance & class-leading performance, you're kids will be ripping the mountain up in no time. For 20/21 Bataleon has completely redesigned the Mini Shred, with an all-new shape & the addition of their Side Kicks technology, the new Mini Shred steps up kids snowboard performance to a whole new level. Comes complete with Minishred bindings. Rider Style: All Terrain Freestyle Kids who are looking for a versatile yet easy-going board that takes little to no effort to get the best from. Shape Overview: True Twin The Minishred utilises a state of the art blunt tip & tail twin chassis. This unique, balanced shape delivers all the feel & control that you could ever need, ensuring that no matter how technical your park riding gets, you'll always feel in charge. However, thanks to the innovative nose & tail profile & 3BT base shape, the Mnishred delivers quite remarkable performance away from the park. Profile: Freestyle Triple Base Key to the Minishreds perfect balance of park performance & all-terrain versatility is the innovative Twin 3BT with Side Kicks base profile. This advanced 3D base profile combined with an easy-going low traditional camber delivers genuinely stunning performance in all types of terrain. The Twin 3BT profile divides the base at the front & back of the board into three sections. The wide flat centre base aids stability in takeoffs & landings, while the two slightly narrower side-base parts with their mellow angled uplift, deliver that unique combination of the hook-free ride with increased edge hold & control. Side Kicks Side Kick dramatically increases the side base uplift just outside the widest part of the nose & tail. This makes turn initiation smoother, increases float in powder & improves the handling of the board in rough terrain. Construction Internally, the Minishreds high-quality construction is headed up by the responsive Core core. This durable & lively wood core combines poplar with beech stringers running through the centre to deliver a dynamic flex through the length, giving the board a solid & stable feel under the feet inspiring you to push both yourself & the board. However, thanks to the torsionally softer bi-ax glass structural layers, that stable & responsive ride doesn't come at the expense of the boards easy-going nature. Base: Super Slick X (High Molecular extruded) To deliver great performance across all snow conditions, the Minishred 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 tougher & faster while remaining virtually maintenance-free. Float Surface: 105 = 32 115 = 38 120 = 40 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 will lift & float 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
