THE UNTOLD STORIES 18/19 Bataleon
THRILLER LTD.
Price: ¥ 76,000
For freestylers who want to enjoy everything from parks to powders to terrain to carving, Bataleon will drop a whole new model this season.That is this Thriller Ltd. Bataleon is one of the snowboard brands that has set itself apart from other brands by establishing the original triple base technology (3BT ™) whose sole shape is angled between the edge side and the center from the beginning.It became a hot topic with the introduction of Sidekick ™, a new technology that has been installed on almost all boards since last year. Sidekick ™ refers to the shape of the nose and tail where the widest part of the nose and tail is sharply kinked.By making this special shape, it is said that it demonstrates high control performance due to smooth initial movement of turns, floating with powder, and firm edge grip in rough burns.
And the special point of this Thriller Ltd. is that it is a Japanese limited model.The reason is largely related to the terrain and snow quality that distinguish it from the riding field of Europe and the United States called Japan.In the last few years, just as many powder junkies from overseas have come to Japan, the finest powder snow that is unique to Japan has fallen into the deeply intricate forest areas of the swamp terrain.On a sunny day, you need all-mountain characteristics that give you buoyancy.And with the recent trend of growing interest in artificial terrain such as parks and banks, the characteristics of park boards with agile carving and board repulsion cannot be abandoned.The secret that enables the benefits of both lies in the outline and structure of Thriller Ltd. The outline of Whatever, which is popular as an all-round board in the Bataleon lineup, and the wood core and carbon layup of Evil Twin, which specializes in terrain riding such as parks, are adopted.It is no exaggeration to say that Thriller Ltd., which responds to the selfish demands of the Japanese, is the ultimate all-round board that Bataleon has shown to Japanese snowboarders.
"This Thriller Ltd., whether in good condition or not, the Thriller Ltd., which can slide all in one, has a 99% twin outline (directional twin), and the contents are Evil Twin, which can handle from park to free run. I can ride in a very wide range because I am riding based in Hokkaido, but I enjoy powder when the snow is good and slide in the park in normal conditions. Even if the conditions are good Even if it isn't, this Thriller Ltd. really slips all in one. Thanks to 3BT ™, even if the outline is twin, the board floats firmly with fresh snow. And the design is very cool. Is one of the aggression factors, isn't it? "
