...THe HIGH Pe RFORMANCe ALL Te RRAIN CHARGe R WITH THe He ART OF A PUSSYCAT Over the years, the Push Up has earned itself an enviable reputation as being one of the very best mid-range all terrain snowboards out there. Its ability to seamlessly blend the riding characteristics of both freestyle & freeride boards into one versatile ride anything board has made it a firm favourite of riders of all ability levels. Well, not ones to stand still, Bataleon have redesigned & re-engineered the new Push Up for 2018/19. In comes an all-new shape, all new construction & all new 3rd generation 3BT base with Side Kick technology, taking the Push Up from being a great board to something that is a little bit special. So, if you're one of those riders that wants a board that can smash everything that the mountain can throw at you, but you still want something that's not going to be overly aggressive, then look no further. Rider Style Riders of all ability levels who are looking for a great performing board that can take on every type of terrain & every type of riding. Shape Overview The Push Up utilises an all new state of the art blunt tip & tail directional twin chassis. This versatile shape delivers a balanced overall feel, so when you're hitting the park, it gives you all the control that you could ever need. However, by slightly increasing the volume in the nose, Bataleon create a shape that gives great float in the pow & a stable & solid ride on the piste. Profile As with the rest of the Bataleon range, it's the unique Freestyle 3BT shape with sidekicks technology that sets the Push Up apart from its competitors. This advanced 3D base profile combined with overall traditional camber delivers truly stunning performance in all types of terrain. The Freestyle 3BT profile divides the base at the front & back of the board into three equally proportionate sections. The two side-base sections are then angled upwards with a medium height uplift to create the 3BT trademark profile. Combine this with the traditional camber, & you have a board that not only turns easier & with more stability, but you also get a board that floats better in pow as well as being more playful & forgiving. 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 handling of the board in rough terrain. Construction Not only does the Push Up feature a new shape for 18/19, but it also utilises an all new construction. Heading this up is the new Light Core, combining an even mix of poplar & paulownia. It delivers the perfect balance of light weight, durability & playful performance. To this, Bataleon then adds their state of the art D.S.T (Dual Super Tube) Technology. This places two hollow carbon rods into milled out channels on the base of the core, stepping up pop through the length as well as powering up the camber for more snap & drive. Now to give the Push Up its trademark rider friendly feel the structural layers are formed from bi-ax glass. These create a torsionally softer flex which delivers that more progressive & compliant ride. However, the addition of carbon stringers between the bindings adds extra pop through the length without compromising that progressive feel. 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.
