Bataleon Cameleon 25/26 – First Thoughts

Surf-inspired flow with all-mountain versatility.

Our crew found the Bataleon Cameleon to deliver a playful, surfy ride thanks to its 3BT + SideKick profile, lively camber, and medium flex. The board feels forgiving and poppy underfoot, making it fun across groomers, sidehits, and powder slashes. While edge hold isn’t the most aggressive on icy terrain, its easygoing personality and all-around balance make it a solid choice for riders wanting one board to cover park laps, resort cruising, and freeride missions. Curious how it rides? Check out full rider reviews and video breakdowns for more.
