Bataleon Evil Twin 25/26 – First Thoughts

Playful twin-tip with resort-ready confidence.

The 2025/26 Bataleon Evil Twin brings its famed twin shape to a broad mountain scope. With 3BT™ uplift in the nose and tail, a true twin layout, and a lively mid-flex feel, this board is at home in the park, on groomers, and in playful all-mountain laps. It offers strong edge-response when you want it, while the raised contact points make presses, butters and switch turns feel easier. Ideal for riders who love zero-fuss fun with a subtle dose of precision.

The Snowboard International First Thoughts are back for another season of in-depth gear reviews, giving you the lowdown on the best snowboard gear for winter 25/26. This time around, the team spent two weeks up in Åre, Sweden, putting the latest kit to the test: five riders, three videographers, and one epic resort.
