PTO Review
We know them. Here's how they stack up.
Men's Disaster — riders whose day is rails, boxes and presses: newer park riders still getting comfortable switch, experienced jibbers who want a deck they can bend easily, and bigger-booted riders who need the 153w or 156w.. Disaster — park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses.. Check the radar chart below to see where each one wins.
Each row compares all boards on one dimension. 🏆 marks the highest score.

| Carving | 3🏆 | 3🏆 |
| Park | 9 | 10🏆 |
| Playfulness | 9🏆 | 7 |
| Forgiveness | 9🏆 | 8 |
| Stability | 2 | 3🏆 |
| Powder | 2🏆 | 2🏆 |
Riders whose day is rails, boxes and presses: newer park riders still getting comfortable switch, experienced jibbers who want a deck they can bend easily, and bigger-booted riders who need the 153W or 156W.
Riders who carve fast on firm groomers or hit big jumps: the soft 2/10 deck gives up support there, and the 5/10 Evil Twin is a stiffer Bataleon twin for that. Powder-first riders, too: Bataleon's own meter puts Pow at about half, and the Disaster is a centered twin, not a float board.
Park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. Riders progressing into park for the first time. Street-style riders. Anyone who wants a dedicated soft-flex park tool.
All-mountain riders who need one board for everything. Speed seekers. Powder riders. Advanced riders who need pop for big kickers — the Disaster is built for small-to-medium features, not boosting 40-footers.
Men's Disaster is best for riders whose day is rails, boxes and presses: newer park riders still getting comfortable switch, experienced jibbers who want a deck they can bend easily, and bigger-booted riders who need the 153w or 156w. Disaster is best for park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. The right choice depends on your terrain, ability, and riding style.
Bataleon Disaster has the highest Stability score in this comparison at 3/10. That score compares composure; it does not by itself mean the product is the most versatile choice.
Bataleon Men's Disaster leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 3/10.
Bataleon Men's Disaster has the highest Forgiveness score here at 9/10. Forgiveness is one factor in progression, not a claim that every beginner should choose it.
